ahpook Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) great-sounding valve overdrive pedal...mains-powered for full-plate voltage fun there are a couple of issues with this pedal: it can be a little microphonic at high gains. the pots are a little crackly although fine when set. the original footswitch as been replaced with a sturdier one (not by me) and as the fascia is at an angle, you do need a decent tap to get it to switch over. it's fitted with the valve it came with - a 12ax7, but you can try other models like a 12au7 if you want less gain - i have and it's worth trying if you want to fine-tune the sound. no instructions or info, but i'll pack it up well and send it to you, signed for royal mail for the princely sum of £35.

Kev Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 This the one that went for a similar price on ebay a few months ago? Was tempted to go for it, but was put off as i was worried it would be no good with bass or else i would have heard of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joegarcia Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Sorry, just checked my finances and although it's really cheap I think I better pass the bargain on to someone else. Sure it won't hang around long at that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
