OK- so now I am gassing again

For this little beauty- the Bonamassa amp in a box pedal...a cool £500

My mate just got one and waiting on his thoughts.

Jeesh, couldn't you buy a Bonamassa style amp for that much?

JAYJO

wow, i couldnt justify paying that for a pedal. Suppose it depends how much you got in the kitty. Anway very interested in your mates thoughts on this.

I'd be more inclined to go for an Ethos myself. For that money you could get the powered version as well as them having an emulated out.

After having watched that film about what Van Wilder got up to at college there is no way I'd be buying one of his pedals.

I'm also keen to understand if the Royal thing is 'by appointment' or is an unauthorised trademark violation?

I would sound better if it had dymo labels

Gassage

Don't worry- I asked for the debadged version- like someone who buys a bog standard Audi does.

Nothing says blues authenticity more than a horribly expensive overdrive pedal. 

Gassage

LOL - excellent

meltedbuzzbox

it looks like a Palisades with less options and a bigger price tag. 

joeyowen

looks great, man that is a hefty tag though 

still, gas has no logic or reason

Is it a mosfet preamp?

There is an eBay company that does a transistorised jtm and jcm in a box pedals with less features than this for around 1/4 of the price. Not saying they're any good, no one will try them because it's not American and endorsed by (insert name here) but could give a similar sort of vibe. I'm assuming it's a Marshally sounding box, anyway?

For £400 more you could buy the amp.

I've bought cars for less than that!

I reckon if you've got the cash to drop on a pedal like this you will have the cash to drop on an amp that doesn't need an OD pedal in front of it. But then would you be missing out on "subtle shades"?
