Members english_bob 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 What's the problem? I see a very tweakable distortion box and no reason to suspect that it sounds bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil O'Keefe 12,611 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah, I'm not sure what you're saying here... I have not tried that particular product, but in my experiences with some of their other products, the Joemeek stuff has generally been pretty cool. Did you try it and not like it?

Members orourke 10 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 It is a bit large, since Joe Meek started making stomps they haven't seemed to care about appealing to guitarist with footprint concerns. I might have tried their equalizer stomp if it wasn't so big. I use a Joe Meek British Channel in my home studio and I like the fat sound it gives to vocal and bass tracks.

Did you try it and not like it? +1 to both of these posts. All of the Joemeek stuff I've used has been pretty good so I imagine this would be too. I actually started a thread about this (and also their compressor pedal) back in 2009. I'm interested in the gbQ pedal as a general purpose instrument processor; it could be good for all sorts things inc. guitars, bass, keyboards, electro-acoustic instruments etc... If it wasn't for the patchy UK distribution, relatively high price (even though it is in line with comparable products) and the fact that I don't NEED it, I would probably have bought one by now.

Members Inazone 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 Looks like a great idea to me. I've often had distortion pedals with great EQ sections that I wished could be turned on/off independently of the distortion, rather than two separate pedals. The extra tweaking options on the GBQ look interesting, assuming they actually translate into useful tones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members 1001gear 872 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 First I've heard of it. Apparently this thing is a couple years old. No good demos either. All the initial stuff feature very unnatural/approaching tweezy, tone. Very odd for a Joe Meek product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members One Man Banned 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'd be willing to give it a try...although I'd have to say I'm probably more interested in the Empress Multidrive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members jorhay1 4,879 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 yeah sorry I forgot to write: '$400 !?!' Has anyone used one? Would love to hear it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members PKTrono 16 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 i've been curious about it since they put it in the sweetwater catalogue, but overdrive/distortion has never really been my thing. seems extremely flexible, it might make sense to get it if you want an all-in-one box that can grok a lot of different flavours, instead of owning 38294 dirt pedals for every application. that's provided it sounds good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
