I had an old Bluesbreaker pedal and sold it. This gent is making them now. Got one and love it when I'm looking for Marshall Inspired dirt.

Thought I should share.

I was hoping to see you post about what you thought of that pedal. I'm the one that suggested you take a look at them a few months ago.

And they really make the effort. Gotta admire that.

All our ears and tastes change over time. I like this one better than the one I had. Granted I had the silver version 2 of the Marshal one. This one really gets me into a cranked up JTM45 tone (which I believe I know very well! ) and I can add that to a lower volume clean set up so I'm not crying my ears cranking out some 70's hard rock. (My fav)

From what I've read on another forum, the builder is on hiatus. I expect his inventory is close to gone by now.

I didn't know that. That blows. Actually come to think of it, I was looking at Reverb to find a pedal to link to and there were none. Wonder what's up.

I wouldn't mind having one of those. I can never find a clean vintage Marshall Bluesbreaker at a reasonable price, and the new II versions sounded too compressed.

I like his FAQ's section. He pretty much thinks the same thing I do about boutique pedal builders and their crazy prices for elusive components.

They pop up on TGP from time to time.

'snot the King of Tone based on the Bluesbreaker? That should be the best or one of the best Bluesbreaker type boxes?

I just picked up one of these, I can't wait to get it delivered.. He has shut down the shop for now but there are still some on Reverb and I found one on Ebay..
I got the original Blackbox version.

I wonder what the story is on Joshua. He's an interesting guy with a unique story. He wrote out his "history" on The Gear Page in a post some time back. I hope all is well.

Glad I got mine when I did.

Re: Snouse BlackBox Overdrive

All the website says is the store is closed and may open in a week or never open again. They will be available for warranty work and support but they are taking a break to catch up on stuff.
I hope they come back, I am also wanting a Blue line as well.

Re: Snouse BlackBox Overdrive

I got mine in today and am blown away! It's amazing thru my Stratocaster, I haven't tried my Les Pauls yet but I'm totally impressed with it. I'm gonna try some stacking and also try it with my Fly Rig 5.
It's the blues gain I've been looking for, I love my FD2 Mosfet but this is totally different. Fantastic!
