Ease of Use
:
10
This custom lovely is an ABY pedal that also combines a selectable Rangemaster clone on the A Channel and a selectable Fat Boost clone on the B Channel. There is also a DI out if you're using an acoustic OR an acoustic simulator pedal. Super easy to use as you have 2 knobs for the Rangemaster side and 3 knobs for the Fat Boost side. There is also a Feedback knob which may or may not create some crazy sounds if you feed it back in on itself (2 inputs as well).
Sound Quality

I designed this pedal to enhance my rhythm tone from just one jangly Thinline Tele through a Univox amp to something more "wall of sound". I'm still deciding what other small amp to use for the other side of the stage but both sides on their own sound awesome through the Univox. I meant for the boost to be something to kick on but I found it sounds great at all times.

So far so good. I just received it a week ago but it already has proved itself at two gigs. The thing is built like a champ and functions perfectly.

Alex is quick to reply with email so I'm sure if I had issue he'd help me out ASAP. We had to do a lot of fine-tuning with the layout and silkscreen but he was attentive to it the whole time.

I think this pedal is brilliant and I'm happy I had a suped-up ABY pedal made as opposed to going with a store-bought Morely. Definitely worth the extra $$ and if you figure in all the features the pedal pays for itself.
