I went by Sat picked my two pedals and finally got to meet Andy Fuchs. Nice guy. We talked shop for a while and I demoed one of his amps. Real quality work, and he really nailed the Dumble with consistency. Very sweet. I demoed the 50 watt 1x12 combo while there containing an Eminence flat 1x12 speaker and it is really sweet. I was looking all the time at the 3K+ 3-Ch head sitting there next to me. Boy oh boy would I love to own one of these someday huh?

When I got back to the studio I put the two in my main pedal board and disconnected everything else and ran it into the 2x12 Holand Bishop with Hammond Tube Reverb on 6. It is the highest headroom 4-imput amplifier ever built on this planet, and is like a Fender Twin married a 1959 SLP on steroids. Dual G12-75Ms with a separate speaker for the Tube Reverb in between and below the other two. I soiled myself ??? really and truly. It???s all over. YOU HAVE TO GET THE Extreme and the gain in front of it. OMG I???m not just saying this.

I have never in my entire life heard anything so sweet and so pure and so amazing before. I started to play stuff I haven???t played in years and chops (that have been dormant since back my fusion days in the 70s) and came alive again .. talk about Mclaughlin met DiMeola met Gambale backed by the Corea Band. Holy crappola man, my fingers and fvvking brain synapse connectors woke up again. See what playing Loud Marshall Plexi amps and playing Hard and Classic and Metal Rock for years does to anybody? It???s like guitar player Alzheimer???s and I finally found the cure LOL. You kidding me? Fuggedaboudit!

My floor setup now contains an overdrive 'GAIN' pedal driving a the cream Exreme Creme in front of all my keeley pedals. Absolutely nothing like it on the market past or present and I've got most of Keeley's Modded Pedals. These are Blues and Fusion heaven's babies.

The Pure Gain is NOT a treble booster per say, it is an overdrive so sweet that it turns any modded TS9 or TS10 into instant Santana Lead Tone. Very nice. My Keeley SD1 Burr Brown Mod cannot do this.

Poor man's dumble my ass. He took Dubmle's idea to the next levels by quantum leaps. I ran this thru two solid state combos, three tube combos and some clean channels on three high gain monster heads and thru several high end rack preamp clean channels. Fuggedaboudit. It's Pure Nirvana Magic!

I demoed all the Plush Pedals, and this one was the biggest bang for the buck of the three creme series (Plush Creme, Plush Drive, and Extreme Creme) It has two modes: Warm and Hot. Same EQ and controls. One gainer than the other. If I just leave it on Warm at Gain at 11 oclock and slam it with the Gain pedal it is already in Nirvana Territory even w/o going to the hot mode.

This is pure Carlton, Robben Ford, SRV, Eric Johnson, Bonamassa tone country folks. I cannot imagine anything that will ever get any better than this

Reliability : No Opinion
Dunno yet. Some folks have articulated quality control issues with some heads. I hope nthe pedals hold up. Fuchs 5 year warranty or something? I'm hardly worried about it. At this price point? ARe you fvvking nuts? This is a masterpiece of guitar technology.
