Just spotted one on thomann for 19,90€. True bypass and everything! I thought of buying one sometime just for the lulz, since a) it's dirt cheap b) I can't find any info on it, which says a lot c) non-dano-homophobe
Any experiences?
LOOK IT EVEN HAS THE METAL/PUNX FONT ON IT! PURE EVILCHAOS I TELL YA! ADD A PENTAGRAM AND IT'LL DOUBLE AS A OUIJA-BOARD! HOW COULD IT BE ANYTHING SHORT OF AMAZING IS BEYOND ME!
Did I mention it's really cheap?

even if it's rubbish you could probably reuse most of the components and enclosure to house something better.

I might be mistaken here but that pedal and the font used looks incredibly similar to some no-name cheap pedals you can get new in cash converters here in southampton except there's no Epiphone branding. It might be a generic build that epiphone have slapped their name on. Maybe.

most likely, yes. it's probably a tubescreamer, DS-1, or something similar.

i would say it's probably a ds-1 or dist+, not a fuzz.

It's funny how many banners the same pedal can come under. When looking up some delay pedals a few days ago, I found out GLX, Boston Engineering, Harley Benton, Beta Aivin, WSL, Riot, Cool, Groovin' (those two, fucking hell) and Legacy pedals are all the same.
Makes it dead handy for finding the cheapest one on Ebay, though!

i've tried the modtone version and it's really good. didn't know it was one of the belcat re branded. the cheap purple belcat delays are really good too.

At that price, there's probably just a bee inside it.
