Anyone tried the HBE Skull Crusher?

Lew

The one with the cheesy skull graphic? Got one on its way. Google brings up sod all really except it was Gary Hoeys signature pedal. It looks like it's discontinued now. Cheers

Lew

Guess not :-p

There is one in my local gash converters but they don't let you test in store.

Seriously. I was tempted by it, BBE are known for quality kit, such as the astounding vintage style BBE Ben wah.

Lew

This is HBE not BBE though :-p

Ha! BBE do a pedal...

The BBE crusher! My bad.

Same pedal, but the hbe has more skull?

Lew

haha 

I think I've just worked out why I can't find any info on it. It looks like it was the Skull Crusher for awhile and then has changed to become a TKD (Two-Knob Distortion). Looks like the deal with Gary Hoey went and the pedal stayed.

If it's not for you, I'm calling first dibs! It's like a modded dod250 or MXR d+, really responsive to volume changes from the guitar but not the most flexible of pedals

Lew

Righto @timmysoft thanks for the info.
