8 watt Gibson EH-100 amp made by Chicago Musical Instruments at the Gibson Kalamazoo factory from 1932 to 1945. It is known for its transparent dirt sound. Tone City made a clone of it they call the Mandragora and then Andertons Danish Pete Honore had them mod it and it became the Durple which is now offered as the Double Durple.The layout is Gain, Volume and Tone for both sides. A toggle gives you Smooth and Bright for the more transparent side and on the other side you get a Mid boost.
Conclusion __
It sounds very good. I think when pushed
the Double Durple goes into a Marshall JTM 45 vibe.
The basic Durple is $55.00 USD or you can get the
Mandragora for $55.00 USD. It all started 9 years
ago when Tone City decided to confuse us all
...or maybe we should blame Gibson?
The Double Durple is demoed at 20:20The second video lets you hear where it started with the LovePedal Kalamazoo.

thefineprint...damn confusing, What started as a pedal so transparent youcan hear the chime of a Strat became the Crunch like Marshall, lol.
I think the Mandradora wasn't broken, so why would they fix it, 😇
I reckon you'll find Swedish Pete might actually be from Denmark, unless you're referring to a different Andertons-connected Pete.
ReplyDeleteOOPS! correction made, LOL. Thanx for the heads up :-)
DeleteDo you also hear a lower noise floor with the Lovepedal version?
ReplyDeleteI do not know. Some of the most famous and pricy pedals have high noise floors. Even when they don't if you stack dirt pedals you will get outrageous noise. So I started using Noise Gates years ago. It is my most upgraded pedal since with a gate new and better tech really does make them better. I use 4 and all 4 are always on.
ReplyDeletewould love to see u making a video on that topic - just saying
