    I like these pedals. Colors, fit and finish, simplicity in some cases. All great stuff IMO.

    The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

        Interesting that this pedal probably makes BOTH best and worst looking pedals -definitely in the eye of the beholder

          Yeah, that's one of the ugliest designs I've ever seen. Needs truck nuts and some random useless camouflage. Also, chrome knobs on pedals suck balls . . . you can't ever see the settings when it's even slightly dark on a stage.

            I know a lot of people that feel it's the best looking thing ever... not my cup of tea.

            I do think these keep getting more valuable, as pedals with 12AX7 pre amp circuits have basically been proven unneeded with modern pedal designs -so these will get rarer and rarer.

            The first pedal I ever built from scratch was a 12AX7 overdrive pedal.... but nothing as good as this pedal.

              Ah, the good ole' days. Where all you needed was a half-assed starved plate 'toob' design and everyone would gush over your audio product. :P

                I still crack up at the weird places that windows appeared in late 90s/early 00s products to prove it had a glowing 12AX7 inside....

                  I've got nothing against the Mesa pedal, I'm sure it sounds great . . . but there was a time where you couldn't throw a mic stand in a music store without hitting a half dozen terrible sounding starved plate toob mic preamps. It really soured me on those low voltage tubes in stuff. :P


                  Many had LEDs strategically placed behind the tube . . . y'know. For that realistic tube tone.

                    yep, that's what matters -but to GuitarStv point, that 8-10 year period of just throwing in a 12ax7 in everything was funny.... in it's time that Mesa pedal made a ton sense however.... I would argue that now it probably doesn't make any sense if your making a new pedal now -as I have three modern overdrive pedals that can be set for tube sag, compression and warmth to perfection -but in it's time it sounded good and still does.

                        This is probably the coolest looking one that I have.

                                A tube in a groove box?

                                Oh no.....
