Seeing as I cannot has money someone else should buy one.
HT-DUAL looks cool to me: PURE VALVE DISTORTION
High voltage valve design for true valve dynamics and feel. Two cascaded ECC83 triode stages for gain from warm boost to screaming lead. Enhanced tone network for massive tonal flexibility with traditional passive network musicality. Patent-Applied-For ISF control allows access to infinite new sounds. Emulated output is a new benchmark design for pro direct recording sounds. High integrity bypass for silent switching and driving long cables.
I like the way they look, they put them in our adverts for next month so hopefully I'll get them in my store (some of the more boutiquey pedals only the major stores get). I probably won't buy one because I've got all I need pedalwise but I'll definitely check them out as soon as they come in.
There was an interview with the tow founders the other month in Guitarist magazine. They seemed like dead on fellas. I'd definitely give them my money, 'cept I have none.
Very cool stuff, I remember reading up on their amps a while back and have been curious as to what their pedals would sound like...'though like Nick I think I've reached the threshold of what I think I want in dirt.
Off topic, I love the assumed Phender vs. Marschull indication under the amplitude moniker (as Sansamp has done for years), you could almost re-label that chart to write some sly cross-Atlantic ss.org comment.
I'm done with dirt pedals personally really because I love my amps overdrive but it doesn't stop me being excited about these. The designers did the Valvestate stuff for Marshall which I've always been a fan of.
Go way north of SoCal and you'd be out of Fender zone and into the land of the Messy Boobie Rectum-fire.(Petaluma, California), which seems to have little to do with us...
eh, the reactions people have towards tube rectifiers kinda pisses me off. most people just assume that tube = better. then their heads explode when you tell them that srv had solid state rectifiers installed in all his amps.
i can't imagine how having multiple rectifying tubes would give me a sound that i'd particularly like.
I don't care about Rectification either way. It's the conditioning of the power supply. I refuse to believe it has a marked effect on the sound of the amplifier.
I have been looking for 2 in 1 OD/Dist for a while now, the only other contenders I can find are the Jekyll & Hyde which I know a few of you have tried & the increasingly expensive & elusive Mesa V-Twin.
This guys OD's are great, fingers crossed he brings out a dual pedal.
Mike wrote:Doog will have plenty to say about the limitations of the Jekyll & Hyde.
I would give the Blackstar a punt.
Hey, maybe one day I'll make a dual channel overdrive. Probably not though.
doog had one long ago (I think),............they have changed a bit. Haven't personally used a new one but I see they have changed. curious.
for me it'a my favorite OD/dis pedal. but i don't color the sound much anyway.
and I'm with sloan on the looks....that's where a pedal begins.
I just got the Hendrix pedal...sounds cool but butt ugly
