I could tell the pedal right off the bat in the A/B section, but in terms of sonic ballpark, it is very close and an audience will never tell. However that Fender clean tone is DARK and notice when he does the later switch he flips pickups aswell while moving from Marshall to the Fender + pedal. No way is that pedal going to have the both/neck pickup clarity the Marshall does.

sonds rather constrictive and less 'organic' than the real amp, as in - sounds like it would take more effort to play fluidly with (??).
i wanted to liek it.










FUCK I SOUND LIKE A FUCKING FORUM ASHOELS WITH THAT POST.

Ha, I thought the pedal was the Marshall until he said at the end. Sounded pretty good to me.

The pedal sounds very good, but this demo is totally set up to show case the pedal. People on youtube always think that PGS does these demos as a public service, but you have to remember they want you to buy stuff from them. The fender is set up really dark, and I don't think the marshall is set up as good as it could be.

Yep...they are trying to show the pedal better than the original marshall amp..

Both sounds really good i think...

It has a noticeable delay with no sound in switching heads, which for that price is pathetic. If you want to hot switch a clean and dirty head, you don't want a fucking drop-out in the middle there.

Mid-heavy pedal is mid-heavy.
