I pulled mine out after being in a bag for the last 8 years, I can't believe how amazing it sounds. The ISF knobs really makes worlds of difference. Compared It to Bias FX 2 and while Bias is probably the best guitar sim around, it still just doesn't quite get the warm crunchy tones the dual gets.

It would be interesting to hear a comparison between this unit and one of the "Amp in a box" things! (There seem to be many of these around at the moment, stomp boxes that emulate amps. I must say that since I play through a vocal P.A. currently using amp sims through a laptop, the idea of just having something robust and portable appeals to me. Thank you Jonathan another great demonstration, and another great tune to go with it.

It's a great pedal, been using mine for a couple of years now with Blackstar Artisan 30 and G SYSTEM. Amp set clean and I use the pedal for rhythm and lead. Considering modding it with a switch able jack, so I can activate a cleaner overdrive and crunch.

You can kinda glue a long stick right on the little switch. If you stomp gently, it works.

I own this unit which was bought brand new about 5-6-7 years ago. (maybe longer I don't remember honestly!). I remember testing it when I first got it and sounded really good through my Mesa Boogie Mark IV Combo amp. I never really used it because the Mesa has a ton of overdrive and distortion. However, I am thinking of using it for alternate voicing lead sound for recording. BTW: I had to run down to my recording studio to find it today because it's been so long I forgot what model number was. : ) Nice video and playing...Well done. Phil NYC Area

I’ve been slobbering over this one for a long time Jon. There’s a lovely crunch in it that may suit my treble rich Kat 100. I’ve seen some people who upgrade the tube upon arrival but that sounds wonderful. Definitely a little gain goes a long way.

This pedal is capable of a very wide range of od/distortion. Starting from clean. Clean mode of the first channel ranges from clean and goes up to very light overdrive. OD mode of first channel starts from light od and goes up to lead level overdrive. Second channel is distortion. It has a very complex and natural sound. I have no idea why we don't see this on people's pedalboards.

What I find missing, in this and some others, is the ability to get all the possible sounds just using your feet. Here, for example, we have two stomp buttons for three sounds. I just don't understand why they limit the use of the clean/crunch to a little button that you have to press with your hands. I don't know if this could be fixed, but imagine we are in channel 1 and we press it AGAIN, it could take us to crunch just as well, and we would have those two sounds (literally) at our feet. And while we are at it, maybe add another "function" to channel 2 on second press, like a secondary gain stage. They are nice, but they could be sooooo much better :/

I’ve had one of these for a while, I personally find it to be a very versatile pedal and 100% reliable but the shiny chrome knobs can be challenging! It’s very difficult to see your settings. I’ve used a “Sharpie” to try and make them easier to read but have been thinking about painting the tops mat black with a white “position” marker! Apart from that I love the unit! There are people on KZread who have swapped out the 12AX7 valve for a better one, have been thinking about giving that ago!

This is very usefull pedal. I always prefered amp drive since I dont like the sound of regular overdrive and distortion pedals. They all sound the same and i just cant find one that can behave like a real amp. Fuzz is another world and I like them cause they dont try to emulate nothing. fuzz is fuzz. This blackstar unit is the only distortion pedal that i found that dont make me want to turn it off. Sometimes we are not able to bring amps to the gig/rehearsal and have to use some transistor amp or whatever available . This pedal can save your gig. It even helps the sound guy with emulated output for the PA. A very usefull piece of gear, and not a fancy overpriced colorfull box with a stupid doodle in it that souds like crap (boutique pedals)
