My point about endless new dirts being hyped is valid though, as well as US pedals being more expensive here. $400 is a big investment for a distortion - even on an average wage. You're coming into Cornish territory. What would be the max you would spend on one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iamthearm Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 so it's like... a really really good overdrive then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iamthearm Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 how would it compare to the tube pre-amp type distortion pedals like the Hot Box or the Supercharger GTO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PKTrono Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 $300 is a bit much. i'd have to be absolutely crazy in love with it, otherwise, like probably already stated, you're getting into (good) used small combo territory. that said, i do own a noise swash (max tweaker) but that's a bit different because i like it, so money is no object YMMV IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted November 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Zero $300 amps that can do what the bogner pedals can do. A $300 pedal can turn your $300 amp into something way more refined. (Btw, you can get them for $255 new through the proper avenues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TomCTC Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 I will say I am into this pedal, but I'm not into pushing it down people's throats that its the best thing thats come out in a while and there should be more conversation about it.

Members Turd Furgison Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 how is the shimmer...the shimverbs was lack luster and i promised myself the next pedal i buy will have good shimmer all the time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iamthearm Posted November 19, 2012 Members Share Posted November 19, 2012 Originally Posted by Science! No, it's a 2nd amp channel. Most amp-like I've heard. so it inserts pre-amp tubes into your amp? or does it have an entire amplifier on the PCB and a switch that bypasses your amp?
