I see Demon FX are at it again. Aguilar tone hammers time

Anyone know where's the best place to buy DemonFX stuff in the UK? Affordaboard seem to have been very light on stock for a while.

[Lozz196]

It would be difficult to make it look any less like a Tonehammer, their designers must have worked really hard on that aspect……..

[LukeFRC]

Daft thing is if they had that not in someone else’s trade dress ild want to try that ! 

[thisisswanbon]

Just clocked the "Sim amp" too!

Honestly, I kind of respect how little they care about opening themselves up to copyright infringement or whatever the proper term is.

I've asked Affordaboard and he's in touch with DFX about the Tone Hammer clone. Hopefully we'll have some pricing information soon.

[stewblack]

Affordaboard are taking pre orders for this now. Due in next week.

To be fair, I think anyone who would buy a real one can be pretty confident this knock off won't bring the goods.

 

It will be a preamp, a DI and a dirt pedal, for those on a budget, but if you only have £60 to spend, you would never be buying a proper Aggie one anyway.

 

I think these guys should just do their own thing, by all means take influence for the guts, plenty of others do, but surely coming up with their own style and then applying it across their range shouldn't be that tricky?

But that's their USP the silly names, the matching cases 

Anyway your point is the point. I am not splashing out hundreds of pounds I don't have to just try something. I don't pride myself on the labels on anything I own and would rather buy five 60 quid pedal than one with a name on it. 

I have no idea if these pedals are remotely similar to the originals and I'll never know because I won't be buying the originals any time soon. 

If my choice of pedal upsets you then I'm truly sorry. I never buy an effect pedal with the aim of hurting someone's feelings.

That would be a rather elaborate way to intentionally annoy someone 😎

[LukeFRC]

The middle aisle of pedals. 

 

I bet it sounds almost identical - I think it would be as harder to design your own pedal with similar features than do a direct copy

[skidder652003]

my cali 76 knock off sounds fantastic, as to it being anything like the real deal, no idea!

I know, but I felt I should apologise as some people can appear personally offended by my choice of equipment. Twenty years ago it was Behringer, now it's Demon FX. Plus ca change and all that.

I love the fact you use all kinds of effects, regardless of brand, and share your experiences!

Keep it up dude!

[glassmoon]

I am sooooooooooo tempted.  I owned an Aguilar TH for a while and loved it.  Still bummed that I let it go - and still trying to remember what brain fart led to that decision!

And the fact that for £9 more, I can get it in the UK and not have the fear of it never arriving from AliExpress world (I've heard horror stories).

 

Having said that... I'd really love to see a video or hear a demo of this one... and A/B would be perfect.

[LukeFRC]

I'ld like to try, but would have to sand off the decals

[stewblack]

I'll report back. It's coming this week sometime.

Mushroom Double Swiss.

 

I still haven't forgiven Burger King for taking that off the menu.
