OVERDRIVE- RAVENSTONE Apollo V.2___NEW___hybrid/Tube Screamer boosts Dumble

$215.00 USD
RAVENSTONE 
APOLLO   
Another puzzle or two. Ravenstone have what  appears to 
be a Tube Screamer morphed into a Dumble in one pedal. 
The Hermida Zen-Drive is a heavily modified Tube Screamer, 
lol. if one could remove the extras that hid the roots you 
would have both to use separately or some what separate 
in the same pedal.  
    CONCLUSION __
Well not only have Ravenstone come up with 
an interesting twist MOSKY have cloned it 
with their $50.00 USD Helios, LOL.

OVERDRIVE- MOSKY AUDIO 1959 Dist. ___NEW___clone Ravenstone 1959 via Marshall

MOSKY AUDIO
1959 Distortion 

$55.00 USD
The Marshall 1959 Super Lead Pedal has been a big success. It really has tried to nail the amp. 
99% of most MIAB pedals literally try to get the heavily processed sound we hear on recordings. Add to that many of these recordings are recording a Marshall that is both heavily modified and then the player has put a dirt pedal like a Fuzz or a Boost or an OD slamming 
the amp. The layout is Volume, Tone, Gain and Tight/high pass filter.   
CONCLUSION __  
The company has made some very usable clones. They never quite 
nail anything though. This they might have as it could well be a 
clone of a clone, the Ravenstone 1959.
All 3 are not like most MIAB pedals with bags of  
boost & gain that a Plexi does not actually have it would not matter 
as neither the original or the clones are how the amp sounds without boosting the amps pre with pedals or mods. In the end however this 
Mosky is subjected to Rocks Golden Rule. 😇 
If it sounds good it is good.😕

$225.00 USD
$160.00 USD

OVERDRIVE- DEAD AIR Vertical Inputs ___NEW___Marshall JCM800-in-a-Box

$175.00 USD
DEAD AIR
VERTICAL INPUTS  
 
A MIAB. The layout is Level ...Pre & Post, Bass Mids 
and Treble. 3 toggles Depth, Bright and Input.
CONCLUSION __
No doubt you can get some serious noises from it. 
I would love to hear a better demo with a guy just 
playing thru a clean amp and performing a couple 
of classic tunes an 800 was used in with riffs, power chords & a short solo. The vids are near Shoegaze 
or other pedals and amps set to god knows what.  
The price however is more than fair.

OVERDRIVE- MR BLACK Cat__NEW ___ Balzy RAT clone

$150.00 USD
MR. BLACK
 CAT  
 
Yet another RAT pedal. Nothing earth shattering. Like all of 
the 'Black' pedals it is well made and reasonably priced for 
what you get. The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. 
              __
      CONCLUSION __ 
The pedal once again being a 'Black' has an 
earthy character. A RAT like this is a hardclipper 
but this is indeed more Cat than Rat as it has its 
own vibe. In short a nice high gain punchy OD.

CLIPPER- RECOVERY FX & DEVICES Clipping ___NEW___ damn clever invention

RECOVERY 
EFFECTS & DEVICES
 CLIPPING 
$145.00 USD
I will be straight up & honest. I thought at first hearing about this
it was a cheap gimmick & a total con. In fact laughable. OOPS!
If you are a Fuzz guy you may know that a Germanium Fuzz can sound  
fat and warm and its rich overtones give the treble content dancing 
overtones and rich harmonics. This box simply puts clipping diodes 
across the input signal. There is not any  preamp section to crank the 
signal so it doesn't need  electricity.  A toggle lets you choose between 
a 1N270 or a 1N34A Germanium diode to clip input signal.
CONCLUSION ___
Even going straight into a clean amp gives you a very transparent 
sound with a nice fat breadth to the signal and a bit of bite that 
is very pleasing. The price is a bit of an ouch. I can not help to 
think half of it, perhaps $75 would be fair.

HISTORY OF THE BLUESBREAKER PEDAL

 THE BLUES BREAKER

PHIL X ___OVERDRIVE SHOOTOUT!!!

PHIL X  OVERDRIVE SHOOTOUT

BIG SURPRISE WINNER !!!

MULTI FX- BOSS EX-4 Effects Expander___ NEW ___ too late? or thank god!!!

BOSS EX-4  
EFFECTS EXPANDER   
$330.00 USD
Is it too little too late or is it thank god we 
have a simple, reliable bulletproof all in one 
affordable complete package to team up with one of the new killer but cheap modelers for 
an amp or to add to our carefully chosen 
gourmet dirt pedals.
It has 128 sounds with 128 memories. 
Delays and Reverbs plus all the classic 
Boss Dirt pedals, Modulation Effects 
plus even those less used FX. With 
4 loaded in at a time you have 
a tune covered. 
 CONCLUSION __  
Other companies no matter how good do 
not have pedal sounds that are so good 
that they have been made for decades. 
You simply get 'the best of'. Add to that 
there are always a buyer for an old Boss 
pedal. This pedal will be a big seller!!!

You might recall the Plugout-FX with its 16 FX & the scheme to get you to buy it and pay to download  more sounds had the YouTubers go ballistic as simply a big con. I was half expecting Boss to wait a year & bring out a more typical pedal with these sounds in  it, and it does have them.  All the extras are a form of apology.😇LOL
