KRRR-ANG

I am one of the many who have decided to forgo buying a real Marshall SL and instead spend countless dollars on pedals that claim to do the same thing. For a while the Catalinbread DLSIII was my go to, but I found it never really hit the sound of the older Super Leads, it was missing that KRRR-ANG. Decided to give the Marvel a whirl and damn if it doesn't nail those old SL tones. It's a Jimmy Page sound in a pedal, there is no question to this. It also has the ability to stack with other pedals... well enough. Some sort comings are fuzzes, and some work and some don't. It seems to be temperamental to the guitar, the fuzz and the gain structure of the two channels. You can dial in some album sounds of Hendrix and it will take the octavio and fuzz faces well but not always. I still think this is the best MIAB available... I forgot to mention it cleans up stupidly well with the volume on your guitar... just like a real amp.
