My Favorite Tone Capsule

I've been slowly working through all of the tone capsules and the Robben Ford (RF) is my hands down favorite. For a solid state amp, the Blues Cube amp offers an exceptionally clean sound that lends itself well to pedals. The mods that Tone Capsules provide are more than a gimmick. The RF sends the amp into a mid-range boosted zone that has a warmth that I really love. There is a bit of toothsome grit that isn't as clean as the stock amp, but its a subtle texture that I love. Boosted and over driven, it sounds awesome.
In comparing Tone Capsules, the Eric Johnson (EJ) pushes into a near piercing high-key register and also has a grit that you cannot escape. The Ultimate Blues (UB) has a warmth & texture that I really enjoyed and a grit that was palatable without being oppressive. The RF offers a resultant tone has a richness that marries with my telecaster like no other. Generally, the Tone Capsules are a great way to modify the amp for a couple hundred bucks and the RF offers the tone I love most. ~m
