HipKitty Oxblood Distortion Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Hip Kitty Oxblood is a hand-crafted distortion pedal that nails the Vox AC15 vibe. It offers a warm, British tube-amp tone with added fuzz for those who crave the classic Vox sound without the hefty price tag of a real amp. The pedal features simple controls for Drive, Tone, and Volume, making it easy to dial in your preferred sound. True-bypass ensures your clean tone remains unaffected. While it shines for vintage enthusiasts, metal players might find it lacking in high-gain distortion. Ideal for those seeking authentic British charm in a compact, durable pedal.

Killer Vox-in-a-Box

This is one of my all-time favorite dirt boxes, and a unique little monster to boot. It's made to mimic the chimey distortion of a cranked AC15, but unlike similar pedals, it's specifically intended to give the semblance of a single-speaker combo amp at any volume. There's an internal trim pot that lets you adjust this effect, but not eliminate it, so it'll always have a fair degree of natural compression and a slight "boxiness." Personally, I think it sounds absolutely fantastic and true to intent, and I use it for recording frequently. It's all hand-wired and hand-painted, superb craftsmanship.
