RECENT VERY COOL STUFF I BOUGHT
FRIEDMAN SMALL BOX OD
A killer pedal. Much better than the BEOD and the Dirty Shirley!!
KEELEY EL REY DORADO
This has been on my radar for years. Most MARSHAL Amp-in-a-Box pedals are designed to sound like what you here on recordings of classic artists. You get the sound of the amp, the guys Fuzz and the Post production as part of the sound. I have no problem with that but it is nice to have a pedal or two that sounds like the amp in the raw.This does just that!!! This is Keeley's take on his own JTM 45. A convincing one as well. Although JTM45 are thrown in with the Plexi name they are not. A JTM45 is modified Fender Bassman ...a Plexi is Marshall's first original designed amp. For awhile you could buy the 45 watt JTM or a 50 watt model 1987 Plexi. My first Marshall amp was a used model 1987 that I bought when I lived in London UK in 1971.
MATTROVERSE BAD PASSENGER MKII FUZZ
It is simply a very well made massive huge large extra Jumbo sounding Fuzz pedal.
Best of all $100.00 USD
Matt had the pedal out and sent airmail within 15 minutes of my purchase.
When the plane was flying over my house
Mr. Tiny Blue a Case Candy Paratrooper pushed past the the mountain of case candy and bailed out of the box. He grabbed the pedal and jumped!!!
You can see me in my purple outfit meeting Tiny on a tree leaf on my lawn just after he landed with my pedal.
MOOER GREY FAZE FUZZ
Actually it is the red germanium Fuzzface built into a mini pedal :-) Nice! better still if you buy the Rowin G-FUZZ it is the exact same pedal it is made on Mooers assembly line and it is $25.00 USD.
It is typical to dime it but I found it has second sound when used with a or even just a Strat PU. With gain around half you get a nice warm crunch sound with lots of Strat chime coming through. It also stacks well with harsh OD and sweetens then up.
Unlike most Fuzz Face pedals it has nice bit of extra level. Many germanium based
Fuzz pedals have a drop in level.
MOOER HUSTLE DRIVE
About 4 yeas ago Mooer brought this out as an OCD clone.
You can buy it rebranded as a the Rowin Plexion. The Plexion is a convincing Plexi
designed to give authentic Plexi Crunch sounds.
It has a boost that gives it very high gain.
You do indeed get more gain than imaginable
but this boost destroys the tone. In short
if not pushed you get a great tone.
You can buy it with several different brand
names on the casing. The Rowin comes in
the same gray box and has the best price $30.00 USD.
VOODOO LAB SUPER FUZZ
No not the Shin-ei Companion AKA the Univox Super Fuzz. But a '68 Jordon Electronics Bosstone on steroids.
I find it amusing that this Voodoo Lab Fuzz has been virtually unchanged for over
20 years. It uses a PNP type transistor that is NOT made for audio. Oddly enough it sounds more like a hard clipper style OD than it sounds like a Fuzz. The first one of those was the RAT. How cool is this ...a Fuzz unchanged for over 20 years that is handmade using NOS and is bit like a tank iand is only $130.00 USD
STUFF I SHOULDN'T BUY!
Because I don't need it ...but LOL
NUX DCP-03 DELAY
It is quite simply a clone of the old Ibanez AD-80
analog delay.
A simple straight forward no bells or whistles echo
box. The perfect delay for a solo. Even if you have
a killer digital delay you will never regret adding this.
At $60.00 USD ...there is no reason not to.
