Members plecoman Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Anyone own these? There used to be a pedalworx hype around here but not so much anymore. I just want to know how it compares with pedalworx's TTS and also TOurpros they used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members therhodeo Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Check out fatbacks video of him using that pedal. Sounds pretty good. I dont know that I'd buy from George though. He likes to talk crap on other builders who make tube screamer clones even though he does the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wood Chuck Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 haha, there is also any clip on youtube. Anyone played these first hand who can whrite a little on how they sound??? First of all, George does not bad mouth any other builders. He was going for a Klonish vibe on the CC. I had a Donner box version, alas, found the o.d. too harsh and very much on the bright side, difficult to tweak. Sad to say despite owning a number of Pedalworx including the TTS, in my opinion the CC is not nearly as good a pedal, however there are others who hear it differently, Good, cause George is a great guy and a good builder.Aldo...........

He likes to talk crap on other builders who make tube screamer clones even though he does the same. Say what?!?!? That's crazy. I've been talking with and emailing back & forth with George Blekas for years and I've never ever heard him talk {censored} about anybody else's stuff - not once. Ever. As far as the Cactus Crunch - I loved the first one so much I bought a 2nd one once he'd done some more tweaking on it - I tried to decide which one I liked more - and George even offered to take the one I liked less back if I wanted him to - the problem was that they both sounded delicious as hell to me and I decided to keep them both. He's a pro through and through. As to the original poster's question - I also have the Texas Two Step but it's after 10:30 now where I live so I won't A/B them this late - but I will tomorrow evening and post back here to try to help you out. I own one of everything that Pedalworx makes except the Tour Pro - but I can still give these a run through for ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever had a conversation with "George?"Seems like you guys are on a first-name basis with each other.If so then why don't you ask him first if the story is true or not, before you come & troll on a thread where the question was "What does a Cactus Crunch" sound like? It's a bush-league maneuver pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phishmarisol Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Not a bad sounding pedal but honestly I thought it was just really bright even with the treble turned off completely. Then again, I much prefer a nice bass boost to a treble boost. For a similar kind of pedal I'd go with a Timmy or Silver Kiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I have had convos with George myself, order a Tourpro and Neodrive years ago. I remembered him being quite nice actually... mmm... SO its going for the Klon thing as I guessed. I really like the Tour pro toggle I have though, are really clear sounding overdrive, no nasel honk at all. I would be curious if you could give me a little comparasion. I mean, whats the TTS based on then, just a quality version of something like the FUlldrive's idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wood Chuck Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Amen. What he said! We know George Rev, and certainly because the CC didn;t work for me has no bearing on his ability and skill level, and TALENT! Thank's for the thumbs up, and KEEP RAWKIN George!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has three levels of compression which the Fulldrive does not have, and personally sound's much more open and clear as opposed to the Fulldrive.

Its not bush league at all. When I bought my SRB-808 off of ebay I posted about it at TGP and George accused the guy of stealing the name of his SRV-808 and put him down for building a clone of a pedal which in the case of this pedal was the landgraff DO. George said it was lame of him to use the name landgraff and not build something original. I asked him how it was any different than him using 808 which is ibanez's and SRV which was basically using Stevie's name to sell pedals. Don't tell me what he did or didnt say unless you were there.

I'd like to see that thread and check out the the contex in which it was taken. I can remember my friend former Pedalworx partner Bob Mcbroom getting hot once in awhile but not George. If it is true it shows we all are human. I would buy fro George any time it is your choice not to do so, that is your right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members therhodeo Posted March 1, 2007 Members Share Posted March 1, 2007 Here is his first quote in a long thread of nothing but attacking the guy who sells pedals on ebay for $85. Yawn, dudes taking SRV's and Landgraph's name in one swoop.I only wonder if he thinks it really is SRB???

It's a bush-league maneuver because you came onto a thread to disrespect someone's reputation while the question was about the tone of his pedals.Besides the whole idea of what you're claiming is a big-deal or a good reason not to buy a gtr. pedal is just ridiculous.

Get a life! I said the pedal sounded good or at least in fatbacks vid it did. I also stated my opinion on why I would buy from him which now includes links to the statements. Its my choice on who I buy from and the same goes for you. I stated my piece now I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
