I really like that BoR .... sounds kinda fuzzy at parts

Re: Zvex Box of Rock vs. Lovepedal AMP11
no offense, but it sounds like the amp was pushed kinda hard to begin with, making the pedals sounds a bit squashed/buzzy. I thought these were more for turning a super clean amp into a marshall-type sound as opposed to a boost to an already overdriven signal.
I dig your lead work!

Re: Zvex Box of Rock vs. Lovepedal AMP11
Cool. Glad to see you like it.
Right on, the BOR somehow has a bit more fuzziness to it. But in a cool way you know. This also has to do with me setting the amp right on the verge of breakup. But anyways that's how I am using all my pedals.

No offense taken at all. Thanks for the input.
You are right. I am setting my amp on the verge of breakup. Vol~4 with the master cranked all the way. That's how I like my Blues Jr. and that is sorta where I am trying all these pedals. Bogners and all included.

I disagree with you about these pedals (BoR and AMP11 which has a huge push to begin with) being intended for "turning a super clean amp into a marshall-type sound". I'd say that's not the only concern and not all the people in the world are playing Fender Blackfaces you know.
For example I kinda remember the initial BoR video done by Zvex with a Plexi, which was not super clean at all. He was sorta suggesting that this pedal would "turn it into a master volume" amp...
To summarize, I agree with you. I should not forget to mention these stuff. That I am sorta trying the pedal with my Blues Jr. on the verge of breakup, for stage use and all...
Best,

Lovepedal has a new version of the amp 11. The new one offers independent switching too.

Re: Zvex Box of Rock vs. Lovepedal AMP11
I also have a BOR, but never have found a setting I like through my Blues Jr. Which is odd, because through other amps, it sounds a lot like my Fulltone OCD in HP mode, but the OCD sounds great through the Blues Jr.
It's funny how pedals can be picky about what they're in front of.

Re: Zvex Box of Rock vs. Lovepedal AMP11
Cool.
:beerchug:
And our ears maybe quite different you know. Because the OCD was one of the pedals that I did not like at all with my Blues Jr. To me it was too scooped, and Xotic BB+ was sorta much better.
When compared with a BOR, I would go with the BOR instead of the OCD. Again the same reason...

What does that mean? Did mine appreciate in value? Or did I lose?
:joke:
The separation thing is actually cool... I wish mine had that...

Re: Zvex Box of Rock vs. Lovepedal AMP11
That IS weird how pedals react differently to different amps.
Last weekend I adjusted my Egnater Rebel 30 and my Marshall Vintage Modern to sound nearly identical in clean mode (both going into the same 2x12 cab with a head switcher). When I switched on my Super Badass Dist., it was very crisp and clear with great note separation through the Rebel...sounded amazing!! Way better than the amp's internal gain [which is really pretty good actually]. When I switched to the Marshall head it sounded mushy, flubby, very middy, with no note separation...sounded horrible...the amp's own gain was much better.

Re: Zvex Box of Rock vs. Lovepedal AMP11
Right on!
I completely agree. The amp's gotta be a part of the whole pedal evaluation thing. Over the years, I ended up knowing my Blues Jr. inside out, and so, be able to "interpolate" how a pedal (that I know how it sounds with my Blues Jr.) will be sounding with another amp that I know, without trying... Indeed, that is exactly why I am using my blues Jr. in them vids, while I have other amps that I love much more than my blues jr.
On the other hand, your experience with the Rebel and the JVM is puzzling. Maybe their clean channels don't sound similar when pushed hard, while without the push the results are sorta similar. That would explain it, no?
