ahpook Posted September 19, 2010 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 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!

joegarcia Posted September 19, 2010 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!
