M.I.A.B. by Mesa

[dave74]

This is the only of their new pedals that I will link, because the world already has enough basic od circuits IMO. Gibson $-backing gets us more od pedals? lol
Gold Mine seems to be going for a boosted/modded jcm800 80's classic-metal tone. There's no shortage of this type in the world either, but at least these MIAB models have some more variation than the 1,000,001 ts and klon pedals.

Shout out for the Duncan 805 overdrive. I still haven't owned or even played one myself, but big props to SD for doing something that is at least a little different than 99% of this type.

Not sure how the pedal references is MIAB? It isn't. Additionally, not sure what is expected by now product wise on a very recent merger. Were you expecting several new amps and cabs from a deal where the ink is probably just now drying?

If you want Marshall, buy Marshall. If you want Mesa, buy Mesa. The two will never be confused for the other.

Well the page speaks of "British flavor " and references the genre that was mostly boosted or modded 800s, and it's gold too lol, you do the math.

Product wise; I was making a joke. Of course these were most likely in the works for awhile before the buyout. The joke was more on the 100,000,001 + 2 more overdrives on the market.

While I am a huge fan of the 805 and use mine all the time, it's basic tone is a Tube Screamer with more gain range and better tone controls. It has been done before, but not as well.

I can't do the math, I am in mid count of all the OD's on the market.

I think your numbers you threw out may be a little bit low...

:friday:

Hopefully the Gold Mine gets some better video demos soon. So far I'm hearing very close to the JHS side of my Angry Driver, like almost dead-on, but video demos should always be taken with a grain.

The angry charlie side of the JB-2 only has a single tone sweep so I usually place the mxr 6-band EQ right after it for sculpting.

You really think a product released in February can be blamed on an acquisition that happened in January?

I've got some bad news called the "V-Twin."

Not sure how I feel about a Mesa pedal that is not black.

It's hard for an amp company NOT to be in the pedal business. Electronics is electronics. You have all the people you need, all the expertise. It's just a way to deepen the buy on the market. Especially a large one...Fender, Marshall, Ibanez, etc...big music company is full line or nothing.

- You buy a Mesa amp once every 3-10 years
- You will likely buy a Mesa Pedal every 6-10 months

It just keeps you in their market share. It's like McDonalds opening a restereraunt in a crappy location. They can make no money, or they can lose money but have market share. Sometimes market share is more important. $ loss with market share > Burger King getting profit and market share. Sometimes.

This may be one of those times.

I would imagine the profit margin being higher on a pedal too, at least in comparison to a tube amp. Not nearly as fragile means easier to ship. Requiring far fewer parts means easier to mass produce. And with a recognisable high end brand name like Mesa you can charge a premium for the same pedal that Mooer or EHX would have to sell for a quarter to half price.

No! That is what the lol is all about. I was indeed poking fun at both Gibson and the fact that every brand has to have 8 different overdrives. (another joke and intended exaggeration called sarcasm)

So does LPB whom you quoted, that along with the other 8000 pedals.. LPB was also making a joke btw.
