Probably costs a small mountain of cash though.

Obviously the love child of Cyndi Lauper and 'Diamond' Dave Lee Roth. Didn't sell me the pedal but nearly converted me to the joys of fatherhood .. ( and that is a hard sell ). :)

Post by: hamfist on March 11, 2009, 07:16:32 AM: It IS a very nice pedal for sure. However, it's a bit "American" sounding for my tastes, and personally, I'd like rather more tonal controls for sound sculpting.

Post by: Adam.M on March 11, 2009, 09:56:13 AM: Sounds muddy to me, not enough hair and too much low mids.

Though after listening for a while... hmm, into the right amp... hmmmmm.

Sounds good to me! You KNOW I'll be passing sometime! :lol: It's a very convincing BS tone. I was wondering/hoping/praying that I may be able to tweak a brown sound from my amp and some VHII's on Saturday. Fingers crossed!

Post by: mikey5 on March 11, 2009, 03:29:53 PM: Wow found yet another site. I really look for pedals that sound like amps have more of that natural sound. BTW if you guys write the Lovepedal dude he will make you a pedal

I don't know Viking ; because by that time I'd be feeling too smug and contented to even contemplate the question ... :lol:.

Post by: mikey5 on March 11, 2009, 09:15:31 PM: Wow figured you guys would just listen to the pedal. Guess not Check out this other one here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leLJUpQHqiA&feature=related

Of these three links these two and the provalve which one do you think sounds better?

For me,there is no contest here :)!The ProValve!Of course,the guitarist and the guitar itself have a lot to do with it,but,in the other vids (Radial Bones and Wampler Plexi..?),i can hear the things i dislike with most ss distortions (difficult to describe in English..but it's most noticeable when soloing.).When i use a distortion,i like to be able to dig in and it has to respond in a natural,musical way.If it's suddenly getting out of control and produces artificial-sounding"noise"(2 strings together,for ex.),i'm pissed :) So,i like it to be fluid,smooth,powerful ,producing nice harmonics when i dig in and able to handle everything(ex. "overloading")in a natural-musical-sounding way :D It looks like the ProValve would do it for me..Where can i find one :lol:?

Post by: mikey5 on March 12, 2009, 12:54:55 AM: Write the guy at lovepedal other than that ebay he makes them 200 or so at a time

after studying the pedals and some other demos of the plextortion I have to say I think that it wins. There is a new compact version with 3 settings in it. It sounds killer lots of good tones in it.
I think I will upgrade
