OVERDRIVE- WILSON EFFECTS Sparkling Blue ...a B. box for one of the best Marshall Gov'nor Pedals

WILSON EFFECTS SPARKLING BLUE 

$150.00 USD

Wilson have been doing their thing for at least 12 years that I know of. Nothing new here and I am glad of it, lol. Wilson have made this pedal forever. They just put it in the worlds most favourite box, the Hammond B type. It is their take on the original Marshall Guv'nor Pedal. Marshall made several pedals but those loved now like the Bluesbreaker were considered 'dogs' back then and barely ever sold. The Big gun was the Gov'nor so when Marshall dropped the whole line, players were totally pizzed off with them killing off the Guv'. Players like Gary Moore never stopped playing theirs.

Wilson nails the sound then adds a switch that can give you more gain. They added a bit more punch and fatten it a tad more.

CONCLUSION

They nailed the vibe and created a huge sound. It is neither slick or refined like the best MIAB pedals but it's raw and powerful sound just screams. "Buy Me!"

the fine print

I just ordered a Fuzz yesterday or ...lol

WTF ...I made an offer on the Fuzz 

& they took it.

Same pedal but the older casing. Trust me these  older demos hold up.

HANDS ON

It took 20 days, but it arrived!!! 

First thing I could not help but notice is 

the casing and the graphics have a modern low gloss finish. 

The damn thing looks like an upmarket overpriced pedal.

Wilson need a better photographer! The pic on this page sucks!

The Sounds??

You can get some great full sounds yet just backed enough off

to accompany the vocals, yet make every nuance of your 

playing pop thru. If you stack rough sounding fuzz on to it you can 

get some serious Metal tones yet you don't loose the rich Brit sound.

Just what I badly needed. This looks like a keeper!!!

Looks great, sounds great and very good value for money.
