MOSKY AUDIO

BLUE DELAY

A simple clone of the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay. The layout 

is Delay, Repeat and Level.

You really should have an Analog Delay even if just to set for a 

single repeat slapback single repeat. It can really fatten your 

sound and it can even sub as a Reverb. 

 

           CONCLUSION __

I have had the now defect $23 Mighty Sound M5 

on my board for 8 years. If it died I would scoop 

this. I use it for a doubler even if I put it thru 

another delay for some echoes. At the price of a 

meal at your local cheap cafe, then why not??? 

 

BOOST- BENSON AMPS Germanium Boost ...Germanium sweetener, how yummy is it?

BENSON 

GERMANIUM BOOST | 

$200.00 USD

I love boosting with Germanium tones. That can be done with 

transistors or diodes. Transistors create the most dramatic sound 

but are very unstable. They can react radically to room temperature. They will sound different in a cold room then a hot room. Heat is the enemy. Secondly germanium often means weak highs. With a Fuzz 

they exaggerated gain adds rich harmonics that will compensate 

adding highs since overtones are highs. In short a backed 

off Germanium Fuzz can be a better boost as just a boost can be 

muddy. 

Benson have unique way of controlling the temperature of the transistor/diode by using heat to keep it at a fixed temperature 

then biasing the pedal to sound best at that temperature. 

That said it can still have problems with enough highs unless  

getting them by overloading another diry pedal or the amp itself.

            CONCLUSION ___

All that said I still love what a Germanium voice 

does for my sound. I have a Fuzz, a Compressor 

and a Booster that all use Germanium that I love.

NAM (Amp & Cab Simulator)- LIVTRA MUSIC Velrix___NEW___ $45

 LIVTRA 

VELRIX   NAM Amp & CAb Simulator

$45.00 USD
AliExpress (shipping incl)

Well it has as I predicted happened. What the world loosely 

calls Modeling has reached a new bottom. Entry level has

hit the Behringer prices.

You get an old school familiar Layout, Volume, Gain, Treble, 

Mids and Bass. You get 9 amps & it can download new ones 

from anyone's free NAM sample/library.

      ...the video fills in the gaps

     CONCLUSION __

It is brilliant. It gives the $ 'finger' to the Modeling world. NAM started out as just using software on your PC and in the last 2 years many manufacturers either made a box 

or added it to the other formats they are known for as an option. It is more so than others as good as the software 

to have,  buy or get free 

from hundreds of sources. In the right hands with well 

chosen sounds this will produce world class results.

OVERDRIVE- GUPTECH Trou D'Biege TB Drive ___NEW___ Hot Cake clone in a mini box

GUPTECH

Trou D'biege TB Drive

$130.00 USD

This is a mini version of their best seller the Donut. Both are clones of

the famous Crowther Hot Cake that came out in 1976 and is still 

made by Paul Crowther.

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain

I always wanted a the Crowther Hot Cake but there is a waiting list 

of about 6 months. The guy that made it is about 70 something. He admits it has always been more or less a hobby so you are waiting 

for him to be in a making pedals mood, 😇. Add to that he ships fully insured fast delivery so your shipping etc. could easily add another $100, lol. 

       CONCLUSION __ 

The GUPTECH has the size, the rep 

and the price!!! You can even pick 

the color.   

This is screaming "buy me!!!" 

$110.00 USD

$110.00 USD

 GUPTECH

Chickadee-Lay-Analog Delay    

The Saguenay Quebec Canadian company with affordable 

handmade clones does a Boss DM-2. 

The layout is Time, Feedback and Echo. 

 

CONCLUSION __

Not much to add. They make quality 

pedals and accurate renderings of

whatever they clone. The price is  

more than fair for what you get.
