OVERDRIVE- MOSKY AUDIO Deluxe Preamp ....Lovepedal Amp 11 clone

$45.00 USD
 MOSKY AUDIO 
DELUXE PREAMP
$225.00 USD
A bit of history is in order. Lovepedal was created by Sean Michael's with the idea that less is more. If the circuit is no more than what's needed the sound will not get smeared and twisted by going down too many pathways. Some of their pedals really do sound good when the results are allowed to be impressionistic but when aimed from the beginning too specific they fail badly. On one project the pedal was meant to be SRV's Super Reverb I bought one and was 110% disappointed. 
The Amp 11 has been accused of being a Timmy Clone The Timmy started a frenzy with all makers to  
actually simply make a better Tube Screamer. Most started with a the ts topography and went from there.
The layout is Volume, Gain, Bass and Treble. A simple Boost which has its own level and a toggle for 
2 levels of gain. The 2 extra switches do suggest the 2 switches that are hidden inside a Timmy, lol. 
They are meant to voice the pedal to match up the owners rig that may be too dark or too bright 
to get the best from the pedal. They are very subtle and few if anyone touches them.              
     CONCLUSION ___ 
Once again everyone steals from everyone. In the end other than satisfying our 
curiosity it all adds up to ...does it sound good. Many pedals sound great cheap 
or pricey. As long as we do not listen with your eyeballs we can get good sounds 
at any price. On a final note this clone has been  around for 6 years.
As such it is worth a good listen, 😇

...it is a few days later and it appears that everyone 
has stopped by to check out this pedal. Interesting response??
....this is a 6 year old pedal that was not a big deal when it came out !

  1. Nothing wrong with the sound. I do not like its sideways casing since using it how it is meant to be used wastes space on my board. It really is a take on a Timmy. I have the $30 Caline Pure Sky which sounds great and does the same job.
