OVERDRIVE- SABBADIUS Black Gold Versatile Distortion ...another RAT pedal ???

SABBADIUS BLACK GOLD VERSATILE DISTORTION

$200.00 USD

It all started with a RAT schematic just like a hundred others. The company says it isn't a Rat. Actually it isn't. A Rat is a however a 'hard clipper' type OD but so are several Boss pedals. The gain does have a wide range from low gain to a very high gain. At high gain it is very 

Fuzz like.

CONCLUSION

At it's heart it is a $70 RAT. You can also get the TC Electronic Magus 

for $60. All 3 have do their thing a little different. 

The Black Gold has the variable gain, the Magus does the original Rat thing including does the Turbo Rat thing. The Ratt II is the fattest. But! At over twice the price I can not hear twice the value.

FUZZ- TC ELECTRONIC Rusty Fuzz ... silicon Fuzz Face ...$50

$50.00 US

 TC ELECTRONIC RUSTY FUZZ 

It appears we have TC's take on a silicon Fuzz Face. 

The layout is classic with gain tone and volume.

CONCLUSION

A very pro sounding pedal for an entry level price. Add to that TC's heavy casing and no shortcut electronics. The EQ is welcome addition that a real Fuzz Face simple does not have.

OVERDRIVE- SUBDECAY Variac OD.... but is it Browner than others?

SUBDECAY VARIAC OD

$180.00 USD

It is still around since 2014 so it must do something right?

Well it is a take the sounds of the late 70's and 80's.

The layout is treble, bass, gain and level. A switch gives you a choice of voices and final control controls the saturation.

CONCLUSION

There are other modern pedals that are not dissimilar and

several much more impressive but are definitely a lot more. 

FUZZ- INTERCHANGE NOISE WORKS On Air Fuzz ...one size fits all ???

INTERCHANGE NOISE WORKS ON AIR FUZZ

$175.00 USD

..................................................................................................

They boast it is Fuzz with enough control that it could be used in any genre. But one has to ask if you played in a specific genre why not get 

a Fuzz meant for it? :-) 

The layout gives you volume, tone, gain and boost and a switch to choose where the bias is set.

CONCLUSION

Well my ears tell me they have mixed in some clean signal which is 

not a bad idea as it gives a lot of definition to the signal. On the other hand it does make the pedal a very specialized thing not the one 

size fits all pedal at all.

OVERDRIVE- VS AUDIO Blackbird ...vintage Fender-in-a-Box

 VS AUDIO BLACKBIRD OD 

$220.00 USD

This pedal attempt recreate the old Fender brownface and blackface amps. I find this a thing that to great degree is near impossible. 

With a Marshall you have an amp that natural distorts to a greater degree and can overwhelm just about any amp you might own and inprint the Marshall sound. A Fender is far more subtle. If the amplifier you own does not have a very clean and relatively flat sound a Fender sounding pedal has an impossible job. My Marshall amp can sound clean enough but it's fat mids fight a Fender sound. If I want that I am better off just to get an EQ and scoop the mids. 

If luck has it you have a more modern Fender amp like a Hot Rod then a putting an old Fender sound into it can be killer.

The layout is a simple volume, tone and gain. You get a switch to choose a brown or black face era tone.

CONCLUSION

It is a tough call because of all the before mentioned problems

So in short weigh the problems before diving in.

this video was added Aug.22/21

and underlines what I said about adding

a fender vibe to dead clean very neutral amp

FUZZ- DEFECTS FX PEDALS Total Havoc ...yes but havoc that is under control :-)

 DEFECTS EFFECTS TOTAL HAVOC FUZZ  

$135.00 USD

Hailing from the Czech Republic comes Defects. Thomas does several Fuzz pedals amongst his dozen plus pedals. He always manages to make a statement with pushing them to the edge yet they do not self destruct like many makers. Yes you actually play a tune without nasty drop outs.

You know where this is going with the layout. You get level, gain controls and a bias control for spit and sputter.

CONCLUSION

It is an impressive pedal aggressive balzy and in your face

At $135.00 USD the price is fair.

OVERDRIVE- ZVEX EFFECTS Box Of Rock- still a favourite ???

 ZVEX EFFECTS BOX OF ROCK 

$220.00 USD

This was a Marshall-in-a-Box before the term was even created. It has been a steady seller for 14 years.The idea was to capture the sound of a '66 Marshall JTM 45.

The layout is simple with a volume, tone and gain another control and footswitch provides a boost.

When it arrived 14 years ago a serious pedalboard was not a 'thing'. Most players only few pedals and any board was just that ...a small piece of raw plywood. the results for years the pedal designed to used horizontal to give easier access to the switches. Keeping with the times a vertical enclosure is also offered.

CONCLUSION

It still sounds impressive but these days there are dozens as good or better. It is certainly a bit muddy but so is the '66 JTM amp that it claims to clone. The video I chose is a comparison to the LPD Pedals Sixty8. Which is probably one of the best takes on a take on a '68 Plexi. 

It was the Amp that replaced the JTM45 when it arrived.

OVERDRIVE- KLON ....A SHORT HISTORY

 KLON CENTAUR 

Long time readers will have probably picked up everything in this video from several Posts that I have made on the Klon over the years but even if you have this video is an excellent summary of the whole story.

FUZZ- FUZZSIMP FX Triple Doom ...a boost into an OD into an octave Fuzz ...Whoa!

 FUZZSIMP FX TRIPLE DOOM 

$160.00 USD

Another Fuzzsimp offering which is all part of a sale. 

This time it is a clean boost going into Rat OD then into an octave Fuzz. You have a gain and level for each effect and separate footswitch for each.

The principle is not new and many of us stack dirt pedals all the time. But having a pedal like this that has taken the care to mate the sounds to work together can be a real blessing,

CONCLUSION

Impressive. The octave Fuzz gives you any spit and splutter you might want. The Rat fattens and tightens up the sound. The boost takes it to never ever land ;-)

FUZZ- FUZZSIMP Fuzz Fire ...it gets a boost :-)

 FUZZSIMP FUZZ FIRE 

$135.00 USD

This is the flagship Fuzzsimp Fuzz and it get a remake with a heavy boost and a few tweaks and is now the Fuzz Fire. It's roots are in the Muff camp but it has lots of growl in the lows and is generally more aggressive than any Muff.

CONCLUSION

It has OD qualities that makes it useful across many Metal and Rock genres. You can add a bit of spit and sputter but you can easily keep that under control. It is very aggressive and has balz plus.

OVERDRIVE- IDIOTBOX EFFECTS ..Repro Man ...the joke is on me?

$130.00 USD

  IDIOTBOX EFFECTS REPRO MAN OD/DELAY 

What if you put a fat knurly OD in a box with 2 delays. One delay in front of the OD and one after.

It seems like a totally stupid gimmick. A novelty to impress your friends and a pedal destine to collect dust or put on Reverb.

The layout is simpler than it appears. You have volume, gain and tone. You then get 2 basic slapback delays. One is pre distortion and one is post. If a slap back has very short delay time it almost becomes one with the input signal. The result is you fatten the clean coming in and the refatten both coming out. Such short delays tend to sound very much like a reverb. The over all result is a massive dirt sound with a bit of reverb. 

CONCLUSION

I use a similar effect with an analog delay pedal when I want

a massive sound. But there is an obvious advantage by getting 

the sound dead right by designing it into a pedal and then 

doubling it. In short a very usable dirt pedal especially as it is 

not over priced.

WAH PEDAL- JAM PEDALS Whacko ...if it's not broke don't fix it!

 JAM PEDALS WHACKO WAH PEDAL 

If it is not broke don't fix it. The original Cry Baby Wha is still killer. The only thing I have heard that was a great but not perfect idea was the Dunlop signatures pedals. All they were was adjustments of the range of the sweep. Jam simply gives you six choices of sweep with a robust knob on the side of the pedal. In short it covers all the signature pedals in one unit. The sound was left alone!!! You get Jam's hand made and robust build. You get a stronger casing, higher grade pts etc. I short the sound is the same but the unit will not fall apart from getting kicked around under foot. Jam always has killer graphics ...this definitely makes a statement!!!

$320.00 USD

CONCLUSION

What's not to love. 

OK...OK ....the price!!!

FUZZ- JDM Pedals Hot Plate ... killer Fuzz!

$140.00 USD

 JDM PEDAL HOT PLATE FUZZ 

This pedal is a cross between a Tonebender MKIII and a Burns Buzzaround. The Tonebender supplies the nasty grit and the Buzzaround gives it it's thick and long sustain.

The layout is straightforward with volume, tone and gain. A switch kicks in a nice boost.

JDM is Joe Doc Music in Berlin Germany. It is not surprising that this is great sounding well made pedal. What is a surprise is that JDM pedals sell at budget prices.

CONCLUSION

Killer sound for a great price.

OVERDRIVE- TIESCO Distortion ... a 'why not have it all?'...Marshall-in-a-Box

 TIESCO DISTORTION 

$150.00 USD

Our friends in Singapore decided to make a Marshall-in-a-Box that could be tweaked to cover every sound you have ever heard that someone said is a Marshall. They just might have done it. You get your standard level, tone and gain as well as presence. You have a tight switch that tightens up your low end. Another switch labeled 'muscle' is a mid boost. They then added a switchable clean boost.

As always you get Tiesco's great graphics and robust build.

CONCLUSION

What it lacks in a detailed tone it makes up for with a brutal punch and balz. You get a total in your face sound yet still keep a nice Marshall vibe.

OVERDRIVE- ANIMALS PEDALS Diamond Peak Hybrid OD ... early Plexi sounds

$130.00 USD

 ANIMALS PEDALS DIAMOND PEAK OD 

Animals pedals has once again brought in Skreddy Pedals to design another OD.
This time it is an early Marshall Plexi featuring its cleaner sounds. That big open sound just edging into crunch that many identify with AC/DC.

CONCLUSION

It is the kind of sound that is fat and huge but can beautifully

lay in behind a vocal without competing for attention. We all

love or killer in your face OD's but if it all you have than what

do you have when your clean sound is just to clean.

This is the kind of sound you can find you nearly never turn off for the while gig. You still get Animals Pedals MIJ quality 

at a bargain price.

OVERDRIVE- NATIVE AUDIO Kiaayo OD ...a rarity ...both unusually good and unique tone

$190.00 USD

 NATIVE AUDIO KIAAYO OD 

From Mike Trombley from Dayton Ohio comes a pedal that although definitely has the Amp-in-a-Box vibe it sounds like no one amp in particular. It is highly responsive to your touch.

The layout seems to be the classic volume, tone and gain. The

difference is that the tone uses a low pass filter before the gain and not after.

CONCLUSION 

It is a medium gain OD with a very distinct sound. Every note is clearly defined yet it has a near liquid quality to the tone. It is usable over it's whole range. It is unlike most pedals with just a single sweet spot. Even with the gain off it makes a killer boost. It really is a unique sound that simply needs to be heard. 

WHAMMY- VEGA-TREM ....Strat drop in whammy as good as a Floyd?

 VEGA-TREM 

$295.00 USD

Who doesn't know about a Floyd Rose? The idea of being able to use a whammy bar to replace the Fender strat style that doesn't go out of tune has been the goal of many, many manufacturers. All have improved on it a bit. The Floyd Rose clamps the string down at both the bridge and the neck and this does work very well but it is bulky, cumbersome and requires a tech and to literally alter your guitar majorly to install it. If you then do not like it your guitar is F. ed!

V.G has designed 2 drop in replacements one for

a vintage style whammy and one for the modern style.

They come in the usual chrome, black or gold colors.

Installation requires a screwdriver and an hour of your time. 

It does not lock at the nut. Ideally you should get a graphite or Graph-Tech nut so your strings can move 

across the nut but can not bind. 

Locking tuners would also add a lot as you do not have 2 or 3 extra winds around the post that can relax then move back in a slightly different position out of tune.

CONCLUSION

Is it perfect??? No! but it is as good as it gets for a conventional whammy.

If used in traditional manner it probably will rarely go out of tune. If you are going to dive bomb and pull up and down on it you could put a string or two out but probably not so bad you could not finish a tune.

They are not cheap but to get this much accuracy they must be machined to a very high tolerance. Since it is a drop in you can put back your original whammy if you sell the guitar.

OVERDRIVE- MZO FX Ohm Drive ...versatile from low gain to high ...lacks character ???

 MZO FX OHM DRIVE v.2 

$200.00 USD

Justin TenCate couldn't find an OD he liked so he sat down in 2009 and kept working at it until he did.

In 2011 he finally had nailed it.

The layout is volume, treble and drive, the texture is a mid boost a switch lets you cut lows to tighten the sound and timbre controls the headroom. You can have full headroom or you can compress the signal and add a thick saturation and sustain.

The pedal runs on 18v so to give you all that headroom. The  timbre will give you amp like transformer like sag and sustain. It sounds as good using it for a low gain OD right through to nudging into a high gain.

CONCLUSION

It is very versatile but lacks the character of pedals tailored for one sound like for example a Plexi.

Ideal if you love your amp and wish to keep it's character basically intact but it won't turn a Fender

into a Marshall. An excellent pedal with a lot of

flexibility.

FUZZ- BEETRONICS Vezzpa Octave Stinger (Babee Series) ...New Fuzz from the maestros!

 BEETRONICS VEZZPA STINGER FUZZ 

$200.00 USD

It has been 2 years for a second pedal to come out in their Babee Series. Every pedal they make is knocked out of the park. Their larger pedals are one of the few you tend to find in possession of collectors in with original Muffs and Tonebenders. These smaller ones are easily equal to the bigger pedals but are voiced so newcomers to a Fuzz do not struggle with the foibles of the classics.

CONCLUSION

As usual the quality of the build and cosmetics is killer.

I can not think of better Fuzz on the planet to represent a 

'Fuzz'. You get the tones of the early Tonebenders, you get the the Octave Fuzz thing that followed and if you pull back its overkill features lol. You can get close even a Muff vibe.

If you did a tune and thought it needed a Fuzz thing there

is a sound here to do it. Best of all the pedal is fat and punchy and you can add a knurly thing on demand. No matter what your setting it maintains a raw organic quality.

In short it is not a one sweet spot pedal.

FINAL THOUGHTS

6 weeks later

I pulled out every candidate on my short list of Fuzz pedals in the last few weeks. I rechecked every Fuzz candidate I felt I really wanted. I put the best video I can get against this Fuzz. I was blown away that this either beat them out or left them in a stalemate. My other choices started at $130 though most are $200 or more. So to cover a lot of bases the Vezzpa is a steal. 

The Vezzpa can be tuned to acceptably cover every model and at the same time nudge past it for balz, fatness etc. If am stupid picky it is furthest away from a classic Muff. But the new EH Rams Head model is killer and only $100.

FUZZ- GCI Jugendstil Heavy Metal Fuzz ... stalking the a Boss HM-2

$185.00 USD

 GCI JUGENDSTIL HEAVY METAL FUZZ 

I have to tip my hat to GCI in calling a Fuzz a Fuzz instead of shrouding the truth passing this off as an OD. A great Fuzz is no shame to use no matter what the genre. GSI was one of the first to treat all genres of Metal as a legitimate musical expression and not some joke of the 'Dumble-ites'. 

The layout is volume is volume and gain with a 'loud' control which is a fixed EQ that is taken from the Boss HM-2. The 'sweep' control allows you to control where you want the mid boost frequency to be centered on.

CONCLUSION

It sounds to me more the same than different. It does have more bass so bass player using the Boss may wish 

to move to it. I am a great believer in too much over too 

little. Adding bass by boosting is never as tight or clean 

as a pedal that makes it part of the circuit in the first place.

Considering it is very precisely genre specific versatility was

never it's intention. I think they hit the bullseye!

OVERDRIVE- DEMETER DV-1 Driveulator... old school company ...hardcore noise maker

 DEMETER DV-1 DRIVEULATOR 

$205.00 USD

A very old school company that have been around for 30+ years & still make tube products like amps, DI's etc. They also have a few pedals.

This OD has a basic layout of volume, gain and tone. A switch lets you choose between germanium or silicone diodes for a choice of voices. I do not think this is someone getting creative with old Fuzz or the Rat schematic but simply a very old pedal that is 'new' again.

CONCLUSION

Not a lot to say. A love it or leave it pedal. It does not sound like a Rat but it is definitely staking out the same territory.

More noticeable on the sites 'sound clips' The only video shows the pedal off using the silicon diodes and you can hear it gives you a very tight high gain sound. You would do well to compare it to the Amptweaker Tight Metal for these

sounds.

FLANGER- WALRUS AUDIO Polychrome Analog Flanger ... just wierd? or dead cool?

 WALRUS AUDIO POLYCHROME ANALOG FLANGER 

$200.00 USD

The analog Flanger has been with us for decades.The early Electro Harmonix and the MXR along with the Boss are all still popular to this day. The E-H was quirky but dramatic and the MXR & Boss were smooth rich and wonderfully to the point. The A/DA was the first of the 'everything possible' Flangers that although magic can easily turned into a dog's breakfast. many companies that make 'one of everything' skip the Flanger as it hard to make and easy to get wrong.

There are many newer pedals that are very good but boring and a few clones of the classics. Digital Flangers area whole different thing (I had 2 but hated them)

as for the classic clones most are terrible but the Retro-Sonic is a to die for E-H Electric Mistress. The one Andy Summers made famous with the Police. Even things that most thought were the Roland Jazz Chorus amp were the Flanger set to sound more like a Chorus!

CONCLUSION

The thing that struck me is unusual about the Walrus is it is unusually full like a Chorus. It is also very warm yet it does not get muddy or loose any clarity. It is different thing than the classics but definitely holds its with anything. Excellent!

OVERDRIVE- WAMPLER Gearbox ...Andy Wood sig. ...modded Tumnus & Pinnacle OD's

 WAMPLER GEARBOX OD 

$270.00 USD

The idea is simple take the must have bits of 2 of Wamplers best pedals. Throw in a gate and you are done.

Most of you know that the Pinnacle is Wamplers answer 

to a high gain Marshall-in-a-Box and the Tumnus is a Klon clone and is only second to a Tube Screamer as the pedal to stack on another  pedal or an amp to add as boost for more gain and a fat mid boost.It is laid out as 2 separate pedals with level, gain and a 3 way EQ for the Pinnacle side and level, gain and tone for the Tumnus. There is noise gate and a switch to choose which OD is stacked on which.

CONCLUSION

The Pinnacle is indeed a very good faux overkill Marshall style pedal. I had the Tumnus and hated it. The Klon thing to me is all about not just it's mid boost but a glassy sparkly tone. The Tumnus has none ...in fact I found it muddy and I did live with it for a year. I have noted that although it is really popular that it has been replaced on most of the fans of a Klon with a better Klon. BUT having said that most players have a Tube Screamer (which I also hate lol) or a Klon that is used as a boost or to tighten their dirt sound.

I am pleased that gates are slowly creeping onto OD pedals. For years they got a bad name because pedal versions were single end designs that chopped off the end of your notes. With modern 'Smart gates' this is not an issue.

On the up side the pedal does have tweaks to fit Andy Wood's preferences and the Klon side seem to me to have been tamed back to a gentle mid boost that adds a touch of resonance which reminds me of the resonance of a good Marshall 4x12 cabinet. The Pinnacle side is what it is and after several versions there is little to bitch about. It is to me in the modded Marshall JCM 800 style of amps and I have few of those pedals myself and have come close to buying every version as they came out but one by one found the several made by other makers.

If you wanted one OD to cover it all it will do it very, very well providing you are not into a super low gain just past dead clean sound or you are into a chugging Metal style heading into a Djent territory.

PEDAL BOARD- Paul Gilbert's

 WHAT'S ON PAUL GILBERT'S PEDAL BOARD

FENDER USA 1950 ...how it was!

 FENDER and more FENDER *1950* 

FUZZ- FUZZSIMP FX Fuzzshrimp ...Fuzz Face?

 FUZZSIMP FX FUZZSHRIMP FUZZ 

$90.00 USD

When I heard it I the first thing I thought was Fuzz Face because it has thick warm germanium transistors kind of sound. It is apparently based off of the Interfax Harmonic Percolator. A Fuzz that uses one silicon transistor and a second germanium PNP transistor. The PNP is odd because it not an audio transistor in fact it's most popular use is for that are used in outdoor lights that turn on when it goes dark etc. Add to that it passes most even order harmonics. this is the big deal thing about the Tube Screamer but they could not be more different as the Interface is a nasty Fuzz not a transparent OD.

The layout is dead simply it is simply gain and level.

CONCLUSION

The pedal was just released and the first run is 5 pedals.

You can preorder for a run in June. The company has 

10 other pedals. They are primarily Fuzz and Drives with a 

twist on the classics. I already did the Shroot a take on a Muff? 

This one definitely has a Fuzz Face vibe. It is also 

just as simple a pedal. I do not have anything useable

with germanium vibe. I have a few antiques but they all

have issues. So this is very intriguing.

FUZZ- RUDE TECH 3MUF-14 Fuzz/Distortion ...from Russia with love :-)

RUDETECH 3MUF-14 FUZZ/DISTORTION

$230.00 USD

It certainly sounds promising but I always use my pedals the way I use them live with the one best sound they have. Yes there can be exceptions but I find that comes from using 2 different guitars with the same pedal where perhaps the level or highs need a tweak.

I have a Big Muff Op-Amp which is nearly into OD territory and a Caline M-Fuzz a take on the Rams Head and a Analog Fox Green Muff from Russia so this will have to impress me big time.

For a start it is 3 different Russian Muffs which means that like the originals are probably more the same then they are different.

The layout is your standard volume, tone and gain.

A 3 way switch to choose the voice and an EQ bypass switch.A second foot switch kicks in a mid boost.

CONCLUSION

It sounds basically the same as my made in St Petersburg Russia Analog Fox Green Muff which by theway uses all the original NOS parts. E-H in Russia was in St Petersburg so WTF. Better still it was $100.00 USD

OVERDRIVE- TC ELECTRONIC Magus Pro ...a Rat? with an LM308 OpAmp?

 TC ELECTRONIC MAGUS PRO 

$60.00 USD

Weird? Good ol! has just released a Rat pedal in their budget pedals. Not so strange ...except they make pedals in high volumes and you can not do that and use an obsolete part. The original Rat used as LM308 OpAmp that has been out of production for decades. Yes small builders can find NOS of the part but not on a consistent basis. If the info was not consistent in many ads including Sweetwaters I would think someone got their wires crossed.

The layout has the usual gain, level and tone. A 3 way switch gives you Fat, Classic and Turbo.

The casing is new for the line. It is 3/4 the size of a Boss pedal.

CONCLUSION

Well it is definitely in the ballpark and you get a choice of 

3 voicings. A real ProCo Rat II is only $10 more.

I quite like it! But then I already have a clone of the original and a Rat II so do I need a third RAT? No! 

....but :-)

OVERDRIVE- COLUMBO AUDIO ELECTRONICS Plexi Breed ...total KILLER !!!!

 COLUMBO AUDIO ELECTRONICS PLEXI BREED OD 

$230.00 USD

None of this is new a lot of pedals boast to cover all the classic Marshalls. They never do. Often it is really nothing but gain. You are expected to believe that more gain in the pedal is supposed to be a different model. In short there is a lot of bull in many Marshall pedal ads. 

For a start the only classic that has significantly more gain is a JCM 800. This pedal does not do an 800. It is a good sign 

if it claimed it could do that I would want to see much bigger pedal.

As for the actual amps the 1987 is a 50 watt Plexi. The '87 amp does have more gain and a very aggressive sounding voice, the 1959 is the 100 watt Super Lead which is killer fat with rich thick lows and lower mids. It was never capable than more than a excellent crunch. You seldom hear it on a recording without a boost or a Fuzz put thru it. The JCM 45 was a beefed up Fender Bassman. It was actually a bit light in the bass end but it had killer sustain and a beautiful singing quality.

The big, big, big, surprise is that this pedal nails the actual amps in question.

The old model is the horizontal version. You can now also get the more board friendly vertical model.

The layout is unique. Each model of amp is accurately voiced and on a 3 way switch. You have a basic level control and a tone control that lets you get the right overall sound with you rig. On the real vintage amps you had a bright and normal input. Each input had a pair of jacks and a volume for each and a knob for each next to the jacks. 

(check the amp picture)

A player would would chose one or the other channel or put a short patch cord going between the extra jack on each channel and have both teamed up. I have always done the paired up thing on my Marshalls and blended the two with the bright a bit hotter. So on the pedal you get two controls to allow you to create the same setup.

CONCLUSION

First what it isn't is a larger than life OD

that is based off of the sound of a recorded Marshall with a Fuzz and a booster overloading the amp and lots of post production EQ added.

What it does is reproduce the original

3 amps uncannily accurate.

This is the work of Luco Columbo.

I tip my hat!!! Well done!

HANDS ON
So I just got the pedal today. Is it is as impressive as it seems here?

Let me just say ...it is the Ferrari of the Marshall-in-a Box pedals.

....just buy one!!! 

...it is the only thing more you need to know!!!  :-)

WARNING

Luco has done it again.

Check out my new Post :COLUMBO AUDIO ELECTRONICS TRILOGY

This time you get a JCM 800, the Silver Jubilee and the JCM 900.

WTF ...I tried to talk myself out of it!!!

It didn't work ...mine is in transit do in a week!!! LOL
