If you had £120 burning a hole?

[MrBump]

There's a lady at the end of my road who will do pretty much ANYTHING for you for £120...

Oh, right!  Guitar related...

[Roobubba]

not that sort of burning hole, MrBump!

I'd be getting a BB  preamp.

In fact I will be getting one just as soon as I sell my HT Dual which has proved not to be a keeper!

That's exactly what I did - moved from an HT Dual to a BB Preamp and a Maxon OD-9  :D

I've noticed quite a few people falling out of love with Blackstar pedals.  Is there a hint of Emperor's New Clothes about them?

Personally, after getting my JD10, I havent looked sideways at another OD/Distortion

^ JD10?

i'm not quite sure what i'd do with £120 to be honest.

[Philly Q]

Is that the Award-Session JD10 (JD as in Jerry Donahue)?  Does it handle your metal stuff Mark?

Yes it is

and

Yes it does!

My only complaint is its not as surgically tight as i normally like, but I think thats more to do with the fact I ran it through my TSL in initial testing than the pedal.

I lent it to my mums guitarist (a blues/blues rock/country man of 40 years playing- amazing guitarist) and he loves it for that, too.

And do you prefer the BB Twinfan?  When I bought the blackstar I tried the BB plus and it blew me away, but it was £60 more than the Dual and to be fair the dual sounded pretty good.  But I've been recording and noticed a kind of - for want of a better word - plasticy thing on the attack when it's nearly set clean that I blamed on the mic pre's of my multitrack.  But now I notice it all the time.  It just seems to mess the note attack when clean and colour the tone too much on higher gain settings.

So anyway I might keep my Barber LTD and by a BB or sell the Dual and the Barber and get the BB plus.  Either because it's best for the tone I want, or because I have serious pedal related mental issues, depends how you look at it  :D

Cheers, well done for finding my question :lol: :oops:

Well, i don't have a tuner (have to use my pod), so i'd get a TU-2. And put the rest towards a D*A*M fuzz, proabably the Meathead :)

[Doppleganger]

After doing the currency conversion(American. :(), I'd say I'd combine it with a bit more and get an Electro Harmonix POG. Those things look really fun to mess about with!
