Members A.P. Ryder Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Not sure if it's a Tweed in a Box, but the Clark Gainster is really something else. The only problem is that it costs about US $275.00 and seems to go in and out of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wyatt Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 The Gainster isn't an "amp in a box", it's an overdrive meant to complement a Tweed amp. And, in the past, Barber has made a more affordable version (I hear occasional rumors it may again one day). There is a big difference between an OD made to be used with a Tweed amp; an OD made to make something like a BF Fender sound like a Tweed amp (Catalin Bread, Lovepedal); and a Tweed amp simulation that replaces the amp altogether.

Members Aristotle Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 The Gainster is an incredible pedal. I hope Barber offers it again at some point, because $435 from Clark is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wyatt Posted September 3, 2012 Members Share Posted September 3, 2012 Word on the street is the Gainster is a clone of the Menatone Red Snapper which, in turn, is just a flat EQ Tubescreamer variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stunningbabe Posted September 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 I am not looking for high gain overdrive or distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stunningbabe Posted September 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 My interest is in the clean tone in the likes of Hank Marvin & The Shadows. I dont wanna carry a heavy Fender Amp...so the next best thing is to carry a small Pedal that can simulate that kind of tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right. If you have a tweed amp, the Clark (or Barber) will do you well. I hope Barber starts making them again, as the price for the Clark is nuts.

Practically every pedal mentioned in this thread is of no interest to you then... the majority of them are overdrive pedals with a 'tweed' voicing, they are not amp simulator pedals (with speaker emulation) designed to be used direct instead of an amp.* * *Didn't (/doesn't) Hank Marvin play Vox amps? Early AC15s and AC30s? That's what I always associated with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stunningbabe Posted September 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 I bought the Blonde pedal 3 days ago. Wow...what an amazing pedal. I Truly love it!! It has such a wide range of tones...you can spend hours trying to nail more than 10 killer tones. The knobs are very sensitive and responsive. A little tweaking goes a long way..and changed the tone greatly. I am over the moon now as I can get a very decent Hank Marvin tone now. I compared it with the Tech 21 GT2 (another aweosme pedal)....and the BLONDE totally blew away the GT2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stunningbabe Posted September 26, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 People here found it amusing to see a girl play Shadows music on stage.
