OVERDRIVE- PedalPalFX SIlverhenge Overdrive ___ NEW ___ MIAB or real amp ???

PedalPalFX
SILVERHENGE Classic Modern 800
$210.00 USD
These guys do it right. They literally clone an amps pre by simply changing the amps tubes to transistors. They even tune the transistors like one might BIAS an amp until the pedal matches the real amp sitting right there in the room. When amp and pedal sound the same then they screw on the back plate of the pedal. Six years ago  Johan Segeborn did a test out of dozens of pedals the only one that passed for a real amp was the PedalPalFX PAL800 JCM 800. In another test the pedal was switched between the pre on an 800 stack and using the pedal as a pre and you could not tell the pedal from the amp. Over the 6 years eight MIAB pedals were offered and all past the test.
I have the original 800 I bought after seeing Johan's review the day it came out. Version 3 of the Pal 800 allows you to switch on the Southern California Jose Arrendondo mods. When it came out there was an over 2 year waiting list to get a pedal.
The layout is volume, presence, gain, bass, mids and treble with a switch to give you 3 classic mods the 800's tended to get done to them in the 80's. This is the 
second of a new line of standard size pedals. All the others were in the bigger 
Hammond style boxes. Check out the bigger 800.  
 
CONCLUSION __
I have the original and and love it. One of my favorite OD's otherwise 
I would have had it bought this morning. 

$265.00 USD
