Got one of these from marcmart.com for the princely sum of $40 SHIPPED (and no Customs charge, they mark as USB, no value and GIFT) to my door.

It arrived last night and it's fucking amazing, just as good as the "American Sound" one I have, so now I have two brilliant Fender in a Box and Vox in a Box pedals to test pedals though (and have fun with) for less than a Boss OD-3. Hilarity.

Watch this space for a demo.

Ah I was looking at buying this pedal but went for a Mustang I amp. Looking forward to a demo!

I have a Mustang I. The Fender amp models are great on it but I really hate the Vox and Marshall models. Noone does a good job of these in my opinion.

Can you run headphones directly out of these?

Yeah, the Vox is balls. I think the 80s Marshall or whatever-it's-called setting does a better job of being an AC30.

HOLD THE PHONE

Mike, do these pedals work alright with the Mustang?

Yup!

I use the '65 Twin setting and it works great with all the Harley Benton/Joyo classic settings.

Set the Twin up to be crystal clean and fairly neutral and let the pedals do the rest.

BTW, I think the Mustang I takes pedals badly (not what it's designed for), but if you slap the American Sound, or AC-Tone in the way, it takes them LIKE A BOSS.

Haven't tried it. I'll report back.

Yeah the Marshall is really muffled, overly honky in the midrange and shit sounding. Probably a LOL from Fender at their rivals.

The Vox is only good at doing the Ticket To Ride clean vox sounds, everything else is terrible.

Thanks for the advice on the pedal. I tried a Cool Cat with the Mustang and it sucked so this is good news.

As for the Marshall have you tried mucking about with the advanced settings? Using the Vox's 2x12 cab setting was like taking a pillow off the speaker. I use it on most of my presets.

Nah my laptop shit the bed shortly after I put FUSE on it and I haven't got round to sticking it on the Mac. Nice tip though!

I've got one of those pedals on the way... so I'm definitely interested in an demo. I plan on using mine in front of a Fender amp, and as odd as it sounds, in front of an AC15.

I paid $43.88 for mine from a US seller

Had to buy some TOM bridge post converters from Thomann and took a fancy to one of these. £23. Jokes.

Sweet tiiiiiiiiiingz! Looking forward to the demo, may well pick one up as mentioned previously.

Will more than likely work, but be 1) quiet, and 2) one headphone only, given its mono nature.

I had previously thought this of the Fender-voiced Marshall tonez on my VCXD, but after running it through a 4x12 changed my mind... pushing more air and/or in a closed back cab made all the difference as it brought more low-end to offset the honk, and the overall sound was more focused in a way very becoming of Marshalls to my ears (I suppose it's the only cab I've ever heard Marshalls through, though the blackface settings sounded more Twin-like as well). Probably on the bigger Mustang amps (or in my case, the Super Champ version) they sound a little different, but are the same voices across all the form factors.

These pedals sound incredibly appealing btw, look forward to that demo.

Mine arrived today and it is lolol good. The settings are so broad though. I'm feeling a little lost. This will definitely be my "playing through some other chump's amp at a gig" pedal.

EDIT: It does indeed work really nicely with most settings on the Mustang amp, including driving other driven settings. Weird.

Mine arrived yesterday. I am in shock how good this pedal is.

Through my AC15 and my Orange Micro Terror, I've been getting What's the Frequency Kenneth toanz now

I'm really excited about getting home and playing this again. It works so well with this setting I have on the Mustang so I have three levels of really usable drive sondz

I TOLD YOU GUYS

Predictably didn't manage to demo this, maybe one day.

Bought an American Sound this week, along with their digital delay pedal.
