Ive been looking to have a few different overdrives/fuzzes/distortions laying around so that I have some options depending on the gig and also to not have to rip either of my pedalboard apart whenever I'm doing something different that needs specific sounds. After lunch with Mrs W today I stopped by the Fountain Valley GC to see what was in the used case. Usually it's a bunch of crap but today they had some good stuff. I had them pull a Way Huge Green Rhino, an Xotic AC Booster and this out for me to try:
I've seen these over the years but every time I've heard someone demoing one it's sounded like Sanatana playing with Nickleback. Actually trying it myself with a Fender Professional Series HSS strat into a Princeton Reverb reissue was great though. I especially liked that it has more dirt than my usual TS-style pedals but if you play lightly it totally cleans up. VERY touch sensitive. The boost is a nice extra feature. I'll try and do a video of it later today. The best thing is that I got it for $150 less than the current version sells for on their website.
