Rollin Thunder Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Just purchased one of these at the weekend, very impressed. It is two different distortion channels, Hot tubes and Crayon but its more like l 4 pedals in one. great smooth drive on hot tube all the way up to 12 o clock and no loss of low end at all, not even touched the blend nob. up to 2pm and still only some eq to boost the bass a bit. best tube simulation i have ever played really good organic sound. Crayon is a nice smooth range of overdrive and again no blend needed much up to 12pm. gets a bit fizzy on loss a bit of low end on higher gain settings but not had to go beyond 50/50 mix as yet. Bang them both on at once and the hot tube drives the crayon. this is when things get a bit crazy and i did need some blend, but again on down to 50/50 at pretty harsh settings. Either side can be used as a clean boost full blend and 8-9pm gain. or gain all the way down completely. If it had a mids control as well as the bass and treble would also make a great pre amp. this certainly looks like my always on pedal from now on instead of my MXR M80 At just under£110 cannot recommend this enough, everything from mild boost mild tubey /grit to full on distortion and all the controls for flexibility you need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I've lusted after one of these for ages - seems a fairly simple 2 drive option (compared to some of the crazy pedals out there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Was saving for a Darkglass vintage ultra, but not now, was hoping this would do a job, but got much much more than i expected. the sound quality is amazing really natural organic warm analogue sound. i'd go for it really good value.

danbowskill Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I had one of these when they came out, loved the crayon side but the hot tube side never got much use tbh. Stonking pedal for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
