For sale is the classic Mesa/Boogie Bottle Rocket. This can be used as either a boost for your amp, or to add drive to your clean channel. Compared to a tube screamer it's a lot more natural and manages to stay sounding 'open' while adding compression to your leads(something which other OD pedals lack imo). 
With the correct settings, this thing can just about do it all, bar perhaps extreme metal. Particularly for heavy rock and blues this thing really sings as a boost to fatten up your rhythm sound, or for leads adding warm yet defined juicy sustain to any crunch tone.

I'm based in London, UK. Looking for £160 for the pedal.

    I once got an amazing sound with one of these through a solid-state Fender Princeton Chorus. To me it sounds quite like a Mesa/Boogie Caliber Series amp, whereas the V-Twin sounds more like a Rectifier.

    Does it include the power supply? That's quite important since 12VAC 1A is not a standard voltage or usually available on multi-outlet supplies.

    You may want to move this into the Classifieds :).

    Oops, thanks for the heads up. It's a great pedal, you're correct in thinking this sounds more like a Mark series type amp, whereas the V-Twin goes more for the rectifier sound, or so I'm told. In fact this pedal would go wonderfully well with the Mesa Boogie Quad and 295 pre/power amp combo I also have currently for sale  
    Yes it includes a correctly specified power supply, which works well.
