Re: Radial Tonebone
I've got the Hot British.
It's a beast, I'll tell you that. You can *barely* accomplish JCM 800 style tones at it's absolute lowest settings, but from my experience, it's more adept at simulating absolutely CRANKED JCM 800 tones, with mid-scoops, the whole bit. Endless sustain.
You can achieve just about any tone "shape" with that pedal, including that of a vintage Marshall, but it won't sound like the real deal. You basically have to set everything to "zero", and bump the midrange, etc.
It's a fun pedal, and worth the money, but not a replacement (nor is ANY pedal) for the actual amp.
I do wonder if the Classic would've been a better purchase for myself (looking for cranked Plexi tones), but I still consider the Hot British an absolute gem. I've got NOTHING bad to say about it. Absolutely studly construction, I'll tell you that.
