adds a bit of the nastier. A second toggle give you two voicings.
CONCLUSION
In spite of all the blah blah about the old Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal when
these pedals were available it was a very poor seller. The 'Shred' was the
hot pedal to have!!! The Oxford is an improvement on it's weaknesses
without f.ing with it's sound. The extras good or bad can be ignored
so WTF. In short this is a great take on a Classic.
This or the BAD94?
ReplyDeleteThe BAD is aimed to please from the top down. In short it is the work of a guy famous for recording and touring with others who hired him for his virtuosity. The Oxford was inspired by a band that is broadly referred to as 'alternative' which covers a lot of styles and has extras on the pedal for variety applications that such genres may find usable. It really depends on what boxes you check are your needs.
ReplyDeleteIt is Much like a Tube Screamer. Mine is a bog standard TS-9. It does exactly what it should do. The Wampler adds Boss SD-1 asymmetrical clipping. More important a circuit that adds bite and pulls out feedback from your amp even at lower volume which is very appealing to me as I do several tunes with long single note themes more natural to a violin than a guitar where I am frequently sustaining a chord or note over two bars or longer. My point being the Wampler could be a validated upgrade. My music requires a high level of skill in perhaps bridges, intros and a mid song solo but in other parts of that same tune it needs simplicity and space for other things to come through. It goes from very busy to even sparse and spacious.
