OVERDRIVE- MESA BOOGIE Throttle Box...harmonically rich, versatile with a modern slant

 MESA BOOGIE THROTTLE BOX DISTORTION 
$200.00 USD

Boogie make make several dirt pedals. This one is their
tip of the hat to more of a Brit sound. With the usual level, gain and tone they have added a mid cut for that metal style scoop.
It functions as both a medium gain pedal or a high gain pedal
with just a flip of a switch.

The pedals are both well made and use high end parts.
In keeping with their amps you pay for this luxury.



Even so at $200.00 USD they are cheaper than many of the better boxes.
Boogie pedals hold their value really well and when and if discontinued the prices sore.

Personally I can't fault it. It is just that there are a few pedals lately that raise the bar just a notch or two more.
The Dawner Prince Red Rox Distortion is one ...a killer! True it takes a classic sound over the more modern approach of Boogie. BUT ... we all have a limited budget and I never regret buying the best.
....so better the best classic over a more modern pedal that is great ...but not kicking the doors off my wallet. LOL
