OVERDRIVE- JACKSON AUDIO Golden Boy Mini ___ NEW ___ BluesBreaker +

JACKSON AUDIOGOLDEN BOY MINI
$180.00 USD
Based from a Blues Breaker not unlike the King of Tone and several dozen
other choices the full size version is $300.00 USD. To be fair the full size has a clean boost, MIDI and dozens of options. In fact too many and little that you would need.
Joey Lambert helped voice the standard one and he came in to advise. In the end you get what he actually uses which removes a lot WTF junk and drops the price big time.
The layout is volume, gain, treble, mid and bass with a toggle for asymmetrical  
(tube amp) or LED (in your face) distortion.

CONCLUSION ___
The original BB is now reproduced using all but the pots and footswitch, in short not tampered with. It does indeed sound killer. I tried many clones even the KOT and the JHS Morning Glory. I hated them.The reissue was not available when I got the Browne Amplification Carbon. It sticks to the original topography but uses literally state of the art parts. If the BB was a picture, I have the PhotoShop version, LOL. In some ways so does the Golden Boy. However the GB has full EQ and the LED dirt option added. I am waiting on more videos to decide. I judge a transparent drive by hearing a Strat. If the chime and bell-tone on the low E and A is not masked I perk up. 
If not then it isn't transparent.
