This tank of a pedal comes in a hefty case with the two 12AX7's protruding halfway up but protected by a tubular grill, a nifty way to not only expose and showcase the tube glow, but also to dissipate the heat it normally exudes. And this thing is HOT - figuratively and literally!

The double-barreled twin tubes produce more than enough high-voltage tone that will easily make fun, humiliate, and expose most weak wanna-be poseur fraud distortion pedals. It doesnt eat batteries since it doesnt NEED batteries - it hails its power straight from the AC mains thru a power converter, which allows it to heat up the tubes and pass true high voltages thru it to produce its silky tone.

At moderate settings the british sound can easily be culled from this beast, but tweak a little more, and you CAN get sounds other than what its name alludes to. Whether you want to jam on classic rock, or want to thrash it up with a chunky riff, or just want to have an overdriven amp for that three-chord punk song, this pedal can kill em all! And like any EHX pedal, tweak it a bit more (or a LOT MORE!) and you get hellacious sounds that breathe fire from the its beastial belly, a lava storm of intense and brutal redhot 30-ft-wave wallop to the senses, guts, and groin. watch out you dont obliterate yourself to oblivion when you hit that power chord!

The one great part about this too (as if it cant get any better)? At those extreme settings, the pedal is SUPERQUIET! As in hardly a hiss or buzz coming thru the amp. With most other transistor pedals, just go halfway 'round the volume or level knob and you get the dreaded noisy hiss. Forget it if you dime them up - its just a wash of white noise destroying the mojo of a clean barrage of pure sound. This pedal makes noise when YOU want to make noise, and never own its own. AH-MAZING!

You say you want tone? Then you owe it to yourself to try this american-made, british-inspired pedal. Just make sure you bring your playing passport when you do!
