There’s definitely some good tones in there, as well as some real fizzers to my ears. 
However I wouldn’t spend £250 on those nice tones 😢

It sounds a lot better here than in the Tech 21 demos, definitely some useful sounds in there. I'd love to try one, but probably won't.

That’s a great spectrum of drive tones, certainly for me. Seems like the general direction manufacturers have been going in the last 3 or so years is more towards this organic, tube-like tone for drives. I’ve heard more decent new bass drive pedals in the last 3 years than I heard in the preceding 10.

Agreed!

 

One suggestion: would have been really helpful for live use if the filth button and, especially, the dirt button had been stomp switches, so they could be easily foot stomped on / off when needed for parts of songs. Not sure how tricky that would have been to incorporate@Tech21NYC? If that had been available, I would have been sorely tempted to part with the list price for it!

That's a good point.

This pedal sounds great. I have the Steve Harris version and I love it.

 

I wish Tech 21 would include a better option for headphone use on these. The Steve Harris one is supposed to be able to power a set of headphones, but I have never had much luck in doing so

That doesn't sound right, my dug worked very well with headphones.

The Dug one looks like it has a small headphone button on it, maybe they changed the design

 

Maybe Steve Harris didn't request a headphone option that works well as a specific feature? 😅

 

Sorry - couldn't resist!
