MODELER & PROFILER- NUX MG50Li ___NEW ___is the future all the tech in one box?

NUX MG50Li |
MODELER & PROFILER
Perhaps not this unit or even the NUX brand 
but the near future in all probability will be 
an all in one concept unit. 

FUZZ- E-H Big Muff PI 2 w/Tone Wicker___NEW___with whip cream & a cherry on top

electro-harmonix
BIG MUFF Pi2  WICKER
$140.00 USD
This is the 3rd spinoff since JHS and E-H got together to make the V.2 Big Muff.
The original was designed by Bob Myers. It is a long story but 
he also designed a second OpAmp model that was never made.
He is in his 90's but he still has the plans and bits and pieces of the prototype. Last year all pitched in and out came a standard edition of the unit quickly followed by smaller size basic model and now we get the original but with a Wicker Mod. It bypasses some capacitors from the original circuitry and the pedal boosts the highs and adds a lot of bite. 
The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. A toggle bypasses the tone for an open raw sound. A toggle for the Wicker voice allows for Full or Half.
            CONCLUSION __
This is the one to get if as you are getting the original 
one with the very usable extras off. E-H have resisted 
charging you extra for the hype etc.
the price is very fair. 
 

OVERDRIVE- ROWIN Dumbler ... best of the mini pedal Dumble's???

$15.00 USD
on AliExpress
Free shipping
Rowin  
DUMBLER | 
First lets get its degree out of the way. It is a very well made pedal 
that Mooer make and sell or have sold with their own brand printed 
on the casing. They also take that same pedal and supply them to 
at last count 36 other brands.In short the only difference are the 
graphics and sometimes the paint color. 
It is so-called Dumble-in-a-Box. Like the real Dumble amps no two 
brands are alike, LOL. The layout is Volume, Gain,Tone & Voice. 
Voice being a mids sweep mostly thru the upper mids.
    CONCLUSION ___
It has been around for over 10 years.
Back then Mooer sold theirs for $60 
as the Rumble Drive. If they still sold
it ...it would, could should be $80, 😲
At $15 all you have to decide is if 
you like it. You do not have to love it, 😇

OVERDRIVE- MAD PRO Little Green Wonder ___NEW ___ in fact released 5 minutes ago

M A D  P R O F E S S O R
LITTLE GREEN WONDER
$385.00 USD
Version one was about 20 years ago. Back then all the Mad pedals
 
were handmade. This one is too but that is because the new owners 
are putting every effort into bringing the company back into a leading 
role in the present. Recent new versions releases have been damn impressive.
I am sure this pedal 20 years ago started life from the topography 
of a Tube Screamer.
The layout is a simple Volume, Gain but the overall tone is fixed 
and we get Body which is in all probability a mids sweep boost. 
            ___
            CONCLUSION ___
Nothing wrong with this pedal. The pedal may be 
worth every penny but at a hundred less of the hard 
earned other little green wonders there are a lot of 
other little green choices.







thefineprint  
The company make many pedals and some are truly killer. Most of even those 
that are NOT handmade and are indeed cheaper or very, very much worth the 
price should get your intention. The Silver spring Reverb that Robben Ford has 
used for years is just perfect. The Sweet Honey should be checked out as well 
as the Royal Blue.

OVERDRIVE- TSAKALIS AUDIOWORKS AC Master ___NEW ___Vox AC30 & Rangemaster

Tsakalis Audioworks 
AC MASTER
Yes a serious Vox-in-a-Box with a Brian May
touch. A Rangemaster Treble Booster.
The layout is very Vox amp. You get Master, Normal Volume, Top Boost, Tone cut a high pass filter, then Treble and Bass. 
The Rangemaster Boost has Volume, Boost and 
Range. 
      CONCLUSION __
It is very impressive as a main Brit pedal.
In short, instead of a MIAB or, hell 
have both, LOL. 
 

OVERDRIVE- SUTTON INSTRUMENTS Igneus Overdrive ... old school original

SUTTON instruments
Igeneus 
$320.00 USD
It is an old school Overdrive where the builder does not clone another's pedal or try and voice it to be a particular Amp-in-a-Box.  
The layout is Volume, Gain Treble and Bass and Toggles 
for more gain or highs. A Boost side gives you Level 
and a toggle for a dark or bright voicing.
           CONCLUSION ___
I cannot fault it. It is very good. You love it 
or you move on. But hate it??? I don't think so. The knobs are labeled like a clock. Ideal, it should be the law, lol. I keep a ongoing record of all my settings using the clock thing. I have 70 pedals 
to record, lol. 
 

OVERDRIVE- ELECTRONIC AUDIO EXPERIMENTS Limelight ... Bluesbreaker clone w/extras

   ELECTRONIC AUDIO EXPERIMENTS  
LIMELIGHT * 
$250.00 USD
A Bluesbreaker clone designed for Punk band Touche Amore 
about 4 years ago.
Not so different than the Browne Amp Protein that uses a 
Nobels ODR-1 clone to act as its Boost side.
The layout is Volume, Tone, Gain and Boost. A Toggle acts 
as a low cut plus it adds sparkle and chime. 
            ___ 
     CONCLUSION ___
It sounds very good. I would prefer a smaller 
pedal even if it lost the Boost footswitch but 
WTF that is just me, lol.
