Finally someone got it right. A simple amp with just a great clean sound to go on a pedal board and get any other 'channels' you want by just using your your pedals. Overdrive for a crunch channel, overdrive for a lead channel, a reverb pedal for reverb a graphic or parametric EQ for any extra tone controls etc. etc. It is a small pedal ...2 1/2"x 5" ...with just a basis channel of bass, mids. treble and volume.BEST OF ALL IT IS ONLY $125.00 USD
It has a very nice clean crisp sound. Fender-ish.
It is louder then a Fender Hot Rod and the Fender has been used for years as a standard pro amp for both tone and volume.
The best pedal amp so far has been the Baroni-Lab and they are in partnership with Gurus who are best known for their award winning Echo Sex repro of the Binson Echolec.
Together they form Foxgear. Both company's have been around for years making gourmet tube amps. These guys are both heavy hitters! They have more then enough tech skills. They definitely KNOW what makes a great sound and a reliable product!!!
They got together to make this 3rd company Foxgear that has a whole line of quality budget pedals.
CONCLUSION
As a back up amp alone it is worth buying.
I cannot get the crazy idea out of my head of buying two of these and two of the new 8 inch high wattage speakers put the speakers in a couple of small boxes and run stereo reverb and echo thru them yet keep only my dry signal thru my Plexi.
ReplyDeleteHi, do you know what is the power output with a 8 Ohms cab?
And will you have the opportunity to review the Hotone loudster ? Seems to be another cheap Portable Power Amp 70W.
Thanks,
Philippe
I've contacted Foxgear on facebook, they said around 30W under 8 Ohms. Now i've ordered one to replace a small amp with a sound tone way too dark, and use with a multi-effect and a lightweight cab (creamback Neo 60W for 5.5 Kg).
ReplyDeletethank you for making me discover this pedal.

Could you use this direct to a PA?
ReplyDeleteNop, no DI output.
ReplyDeleteJust bought a Kolt45 second hand. The power unit does not seem to be original. It reads 12VDC 1A (negative TIP), but the Kolt45 specs I find online read 24VDC 4A (positive TIP). I do not have a benchmark to sort things out. The PSU is wrong or so are the specs... Thoughts ? Thanks !
ReplyDeleteHi, mine (original) is 24V 4A!
