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.
