OVERDRIVE- WESTMINSTER EFFECTS Knox v.2 ....MIAB ?

WESTMINSTER EFFECTS| KNOX

$150.00 USD

Good ol' W.E. is in my mind the Boss Pedals of America. Pro but affordable never thrilling but gets the job done. Not a thoroughbred but a serious workhorse. The Knox is supposedly a take on a MIAB. It leans towards a JTM 45 Marshall's first amp that was a modded Fender Bassman. Internally it is probably a nicely voiced hardclipper like a Boss SD-1. Arguably, it has a lot more attitude than a Boss. The layout is a simple volume, tone and gain.

CONCLUSION

Well made, hand made and fairly priced. It lacks character or a twist that gives it personality and it is not anywhere near the most convincing MIAB. The best MIAB pedals like the amp give you a full tone stack and presence.

It does however have a Brit vibe and is voiced to get to have 

bit of that 'larger than life' thing. It is dead easy to 

tweak to a good basic sound.
