i tried it during the citymusic sale last year...imo..its real sweet..i wanted to buy it but no stock and all were sold out...instead i got the bulldong distortion...which angain in imo...one heck of a distortion pedal...smooth classic distortion to hard rock distortion...its like a marshall and mesa in one box...good value too...

 

[Indigo_blues]

I called up city music today.. its retailing for $228 after discount.. haha.. think the stocks have come in.

there are other vaccuum tube overdrives available. maybe u might want to consider a tonebone,amt,english muffin etc.

 

[Indigo_blues]

nobody here owns one of these babies?
:?:

 

[theblueark]

I'm sure it will have a very nice and bright orange LED behind the tubes as well

 

[Timex]

its not a very popular model yet. if you need some feed back maybe u can try out harmony central.

wahleow.. say until like that. I think theres only one company that does that... :lol:

 

[RazrAsh]

IMO, tonebone is still one of the best around..

too bad they do not sell a chandler tube driver here. Would love to try it out one of these days.

Actually apparently many companies do that. When you buy you lend me I open and take a look haha 8)

the LED in those vox is blue in color...

i think they're talking about a different LED here... the one behind the tube

i'm thinking as long as a tube pedal can draw power from a 9V PSU there's no point getting one. i'm not saying the vox pedals draw power from a 9v source, though, i'm just saying, is all.

 

[brundisium]

hehe, i was refering to the led behind... having seen someone playing with the cooltron bulldog...

 

[hay88]

i tested the bulldog distortion combined with an uber metal last yr. i turned both gains to 1/2 mark. it's the closest thing to a hi gain tube amp i get on pedals!

 

[subversion]

it's one of the warmest drive tone i've come across from a pedal but if you are looking for something intense, the bulldog would be a better option.

both the overdrive & the distortion models have this setback- once the drive/ distortion is activated, i noted a drop in gain. it seems that this feature has different responses both in bypass/ drive modes. nevertheless, these are good pedals to own.

 

[charlestheguitarist]

shiok...new stock=new pedals..although i might try the brit boost if i have time next week...

IMO, tonebone is still one of the best around..
