HISTORY OF THE BLUESBREAKER PEDAL

 THE BLUES BREAKER

PHIL X ___OVERDRIVE SHOOTOUT!!!

PHIL X  OVERDRIVE SHOOTOUT

BIG SURPRISE WINNER !!!

MULTI-EFFECTS- 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 
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 effects and 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 and 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

FUZZ- COSMODIO INSTRUMENTS Glitch Witch ... MOSFET Fuzz

C O S M O D I O   I N S T R U M E N T S
GLITCH WITCH    
$280.00 USD
The heart of this is MOSFETS. Often referred to as just a FET.
A FET is a transistor that can be used to emulate a tube. However by adding diodes or simply overloading the 
input it can turn the sound into a Fuzz. In fact so much as 
to head into Tone Bender territory or beyond.
The layout is Volume, Treble, Bass, Gate and Gain. Divide, 
Division and Depth scramble the sound but give you enough 
control to keep musical enough to play a tune or to go into 
Star Wars or Shoegaze city. 
             CONCLUSION __
An impressive mix of controlled and musical sound 
and any level of of chaos. A one size fits all with 
both the benefits and rather obvious handicaps 
all such pedals have.

OVERDRIVE- FINDING THAT TONE Japan 1986 ___NEW ___accurate Ibanez TS10 clone

 Finding That Tone 
$240.00 USD
 JAPAN 1986 
From Spain comes a small boutique pedal builder  
with a take of the SRV fave the Ibanez TS10. It uses 
an original NOS JRC 5558D OpAmp. It is offered in 
several Japanese motifs over the familiar Ibanez 
shaped casing. 
      CONCLUSION __
What can I say? It is what it is. That said 
check out the new Tone City Green Tube.
An impressive TS10 with a toggle to 
switch on a very good biting 
SRV voicing.

FUZZ- MAD PROFESSOR Milestone handwired Fuzz ___NEW ___ don't ask!!!

$380.00 USD
 ·MAD PROFESSOR· 
MILESTONE  FUZZ 
 
We get zero information on 
anything about it. 
 
CONCLUSION __
The video is an inhouse and 
I have seen bad or useless 
videos but NOT worse. WTF

___________________________________________  

        CONCLUSION PT.2  ...days later
Still no info. To my ears it sounds like like a Fuzzy-Drive . 
Half silicon Fuzz and half OD. It does sound good but 
it should sell for at least $100.00 USD less.

OVERDRIVE- PHANTOM EVR sharp 3 Eno ___NEW ___ elegant & refined look & sound

$485.00 USD
 PHANTOM EVR 
 # 3  ENO 
Handmade in Japan with the best of everything without 
anything compromised. The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble, 
Bass, Level & Boost that is triggered with a second 
footswitch.
             CONCLUSION __
Elegant and refined in both looks and sound. But 
more so the idea than the sound. If I was going 
to spend big money I would go for the slightly 
cheaper $450.00 USD Vemuram Los Lunas.  
It picks up in gain where this leaves off.


OVERDRIVE- Himmelstrutz FETTO Nord+ ...16 years and still selling

$400.00 USD
 Himmelstrutz  
FETTO Nord+||
It is what was state of the art 16 years ago for a Brit Stack 
Amp-in-a-Box. The layout is Volume, Treble, Gain and Boost. 
It also has a Mid Boost on a toggle and another toggle for 
Presence.
      CONCLUSION __
Well it does sound very, very good but without 
some basic power chords and a few notes 
featuring what sustain it can do. I wouldn't ...
