So I was feeling a bit shit on Friday, and had the day off work. Coupled with the fact that I'd just got about £200 in dividends I decided to go shopping. This is what I came home with...
Haven't had chance to play it too much as I had my folks down all weekend, but I really like it so far.
The tone controls are great and it can really do a good British sound or American and everything inbetween using the ISF knob.
Will try and do an quick audio demo at some point...

Nice! A demo would be great this pedal is one I'm interested in. Looks smaller than I thought.

Pics are deceiving - I'll take a pic next to my board to show you how big it is.

YES.
I'm super jealous, I've been well into these pedals since I started reading about them and hearing clips. you'll have to knock us up a demo - that's my favourite one too. DOOGFEST?

Of course! Will be at Doogfest for sure. Reckon I'll have time to knock up a demo tonight...
I was listening to some clips and along with the reviews I'd seen I was really interested. Luckily one of the shops in town stocks them now, so I had a quick go and was convinced.

They're solid as all get out. You could destroy a bankvault with that pedal.

Yay!
How did you record it, Lampy? Is it direct to PC with amp sim or something?

Cheers for that, Thom.
What geet was that? And like Doog says, was it DI'd? Could hear some digital clipping which could have been the conversion process. You can still tell it has some wide coupletones in it.

Cheers for listening guys - it was straight into my Boss Micro BR.
Guitar was my CIJ Strat - Bridge and Middle pups on.
The clipping is a bit annoying, but you get the gist
Probably should have used the emulated output.

Yeah I like it. It's pretty easy to use and sounds good.
I don't really do a lot of recording, but it suits my needs just fine.
If I had more time I'd like to expand a bit, but for the money I think it's great.
