FET Dream

What impressed me most was how the pedal responds (differently) at low volumes.  The nicest feature to me is that it seems to provide a level of sustain that other pedals can only achieve when their volume is ¿¿¿cranked¿¿¿.  I can¿¿¿t speak for other players but I think that is something everyone in my musical genre searches for ¿¿¿ i.e. the ability for notes to be held for periods of time at low-mid volumes. The other equally impressive feature is the ¿¿¿non-muddy¿¿¿ tones coming from every volume level.  This pedal remains clear allowing the sound and tone of individual notes / strings to come through.

No opinion, just got it!  Seems well made and uses high-quality components.

Dealing with Mark & Brian is great, but I had an issue with the shipping.  CanadaPost was a week late on the guaranteed next business day service, and they didn't even have the package scanned into the system until the day before it arrived!  I wish there were more options for shipping.

So, as might be able to conclude (with me) as an owner of several other ¿¿¿boutique¿¿¿ pedals I¿¿¿m pretty ¿¿¿ticked¿¿¿ that I didn¿¿¿t have this pedal as my first ¿¿¿ because it likely would have been my last as well.  The only thing I can think of that is better than having the FET Dream is having 2 of them!!! So, in the very near future I will be ordering another and possibly 2 more ¿¿¿ 1 for me and 1 for a friend of mine who I know will be as blown away as I am.

When i first plugged into the pedal I played some blues licks. Recorded it. Played it back, and I was very impressed. So I thought, now I should see how it sounds on a jazzy kind of track. Using the FET as a clean boost. Gain on 3/10. This setting allows the pedal the chance to colour, and the amp to breath without hitting the tubes too hard. Once I finished playing and recorded the solo. I pressed play, closed my eyes and tried my very best to find something I didn¿¿¿t like about the sound. It did produce a fat piercing tone. Which is perfect for what I needed to set the mood for that specific tune. My favorite feature about this pedal has to be the clarity and note definition. Even when playing a busy six string chord. You will still be able to hear each and every note. Different amp. Different sound? I tried this pedal on two different amps.  Both are class A amps. Skyraider 15 by Mack amps, and a Black Heart little Giant. Both amps provide a different overall sound, and yet the pedal still showed its colours. Throughout the past years reviewing pedals and amps. I find myself asking the same question: ¿¿¿Is this a pedal friendly amp?¿¿¿  Well with the FET Dream pedal it was very different, I love the fact that I can use the pedal with different amps. I am a multi-amp kind of player. I use two to three different amps at any given time. Different amps for different songs. Thanks to the FET pedal I can use it with any amp that I choose at that moment and still have the pleasure of playing with a rich creamy tone.

Seems very well constructed and I don't anticipate any problems.

FET Dream.  ¿¿¿Now here is a pedal that has something to say.¿¿¿ Have you ever wondered how it will feel to have a pedal where you can truly feel free and the pedal doesn¿¿¿t hold you back from cutting loss? Well get ready to discover the FET Dream pedal by CE Pedals. The FET was designed with one thing in mind.  Allow the player the freedom to create any mood from blues, jazz, rock, funk or smooth jazz. All in one amazing little box. While testing the FET pedal. I thought it would be good to record my test. This way i can go back and listen to the way it sounds as a listener and not just as a player playing around with the pedal. Like I always say. ¿¿¿A good pedal will sound great right out of the box,¿¿¿ and on the FET, my favorite setting is: FLAT! Just the true sound of the pedal.

Brian hand-delivered my pedal in Toronto... very friendly and I'm expecting great support!

Final words. It has been a week since I first plugged into the FET pedal. I am still as impressed and love playing with this amazing pedal. So if you are looking for that clear/creamy tone which doesn¿¿¿t mess your signal up, or you don¿¿¿t want to use eight pedals to achieve that type of tone... You owe it to yourself.
