MY MONTHLY RANT

The damn politicians are telling us that it's never been better when 

it is not only worse but they made it 50% more f__ked than July!

TIME OUT 

Well today was going to be something I was really looking forward to. 

The release and launch of my own pedal brand LENARD Re-Inventions. 

But I can not ship without prepaying the electrical goods duty which 

neither country can say what it is. So I have to wait until the squabble 

is over. That will not happen until one side agrees to give the other a B.J.  

 

 

TOYS FOR THE OLDER BOYS

                             some old, some new, all cool !!!

PEAVEY VTM PreAmp

The big ...big deal last month was the Friedman JOSE 20 head.
Well in 1987 Peavey brought out their VTM 60 & 120 watt VTM 

heads that were JOSE  amps too. They just released a killer clone 

of it with a pedal. $200 to my ears sounds better than the 

$1800 for the Friedman.

OVERDRIVE- OCTAKING Burstphonic PAF___ NEW ___transparent, high headroom

$400.00 USD

Octaking

 BURSTPHONIC  PAF

More of a very high headroom boost pedal with 

a touch of saturation and very rich in harmonics. 

At its best with a single channel Brit tube amp.

CONCLUSION __

Definitely an always on pedal.

OVERDRIVE- JCA PEDALS & AMPS The Reverend___NEW___ Billy Gibbons-in-a-Box

$255.00 USD

JCA pedals & amps

+ series THE REVEREND 

 

Yes ...a take on Billy Gibbons old brown Fender Deluxe. 

The layout is simple. The familiar Volume, Gain & Tone.  

With high headroom and a low noise floor.

            CONCLUSION __

German made in Motten Germany with that 

cliched German thing of damn the price quality 

first. A pass is getting the best of the best. 

It has it all. Balz, bite breadth & a decent 

sustain. Totally love it!!!

$500.00 USD

DAZATRONYX

Big  Fuzz  Console 

Ever wish a Fuzz you owned had a feature to add or remove part of the sound of another or even from 2 or more others? Just click a few of the 30 toggles and turn some the 10 knobs and you have it. 

  Solderless DIY,😎

CONCLUSION __ 

Be the first in line for this one, LOL

OVERDRIVE- JHS AT MINI ___NEW___ Andy Timmons '@' pedal in a mini

$130.00 USD

JHS  AT MINI 

I bought version 1 in 2016. I run my rig at unity gain . 

Andy does not he keeps the pedal gain down and 

the volume cranked . The amp then gives him lots 

of highs. At unity it is very harsh and muddy. 

I found it unusable. 

 

CONCLUSION ___

Keeping in mind what I said it can be a good 

pedal. If you do buy get this one!!

OVERDRIVE- LPD PEDALS LPD Seventy4 DG ___ SNEAK PEAK ___
