Was out running errands today and popped into used gear shop. Decent price on this so I grabbed it, as I’ve been wanting to scoop up a high gain pedal again to use with my deluxe reverb, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about these

Does it rip?

The secret sauce with these is that there's an internal gain trimpot in addition to the one on the face of the pedal. i found that the stock setting of that trimpot was WAY too high. i cranked it almost all the way down and the pedal came alive.

Have fun with it!

Yeah this! Lower the trimpot. It makes a huge difference.

Congrats, I want one at some point.

I have one, great pedal man. Its crazy how good this will sound thru a clean amp.

It sounds fucking incredible



It’s a 1,000,000/10


Initial impressions thru the deluxe reverb at low volumes were not good. In fairness, I think changing the Jensen speaker might be in order as my problem was the same that I have with most drives I’ve tried. Boxy and honky sounding. However I jammed that rig with my drummer and at volume it sounds amazing. Chugs are fantastic but where it really shines is on leads


I also tried it through my roadster earlier and that was -really- impressive. I could totally use the roadster as a pedal platform with this thing.

Jensen style speakers seem to have a very pronounced midrange to make up for the Fender scoop. On cleans they’re amazing and make single coils thick as honey. On dirt they’re way more picky. I think this is why muffs work with them because the scoop of a muff balances against those speakers. I feel like doing the same to my Vibrolux. I keep eyeing a set of Celestion Creamback 10s for that reason. If you do change your speaker, just box up the current one and put it in a safe place. You may want that sound later.

When these first came out, the local shop was running it thru a CARR amp to demonstrate just how it can turn a clean amp into a high gain beast... honestly it was impressive af

Nice!

I had one of these quite a few years ago; sent it to JerEvil to demo for his YT channel. He ran it thru a clean Fryette power amp and it was straight deadly, still one of my fav demos he ever did.

This pedal is legit AF
