These new pedals are sodding expensive.

That remains my only complaint about them.

I wish they were around the £199 price point, so that many more people could enjoy them.

That said, they always seem to be sold out everywhere, so I guess folks are finding ways to afford one, even in these difficult times.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Santa brought me a wonderful gift to go with my - the compressor.

Waited months for one of these to turn up in the UK. Well worth the wait.

At the weekend, I did a live , looking at the . Towards the end, I said that I was still preferring my beloved .

It’s the that has stayed on the board all week, not the 🙂

Both sound great. My is going nowhere. Some days I prefer the . This week, I’ve been preferring the Horsemeat.

Although a new contender has entered the game …

Is the worth the money?

For me it is, because I'm totally gaga for .

The EQ controls make this a very flexible / adaptable pedal - and that's very rare amongst tweed-tone pedals. Most are one-trick ponies!

When I bought it, I wasn't expecting it to give me tweed tones. I bought it because I was expecting it to be interesting, and I think it is.

What do you think? Or have you all muted me because of the long multi-hour thread? 😂😅

The morning is almost over, so it's time to wrap up this instalment of .

The is not a killer for me. It's not going to kick my off my board.

It's a *great* sounding pedal - right up there with my beloved .

It gives me another option when I want tweed tone - and I *love* having options.

Followers from the BirdSite, and regular readers of my blog, will probably recall that I am a lover of all things tweed-tone.

It turns out that the is an excellent tweed-tone pedal. It might even be the best-sounding one that's currently on the market.

I'm not going to test the as a cranked boost into a cranked amp today.

It's simply not what I use my for.

It's not my world, and I don't know enough about it to say anything really about that.

I'm sure you can find plenty of folks on YouTube who have done exactly that. Go and listen to them on that use case!

No matter what I try, I can't make the provide the same kind of clean boost that my does.

The Horsemeat just doesn't seem to have the same kind of mid-boost that the Klon does.

To be honest, that makes sense: the Horsemeat's full name is the Horsemeat Transparent Overdrive. It's hard to be 'transparent' if a pedal brings a serious mid-boost to the table.

So now we get onto the main topic for this instalment of : is the the Klon-killer that it's been marketed to be?

In my rig, that translates to: can the Horsemeat replace my Klon KTR in the clean-boost role?

Let me go and fiddle some knobs and find out! I'll be right back 🙂

Here's what I'm starting with on the board:

All three pedals are in separate loops on my trusty old G2, so they can't interfere with the overall tone when they're not in use.

Good morning, everyone!

This morning - as previously promised - I'm going to do my first live on here.

Today, I'm going to be talking about my favourite overdrive pedal: the .

PRS have marketed this as a killer. Why has it become my favourite pedal, and can it replace the Klon on my board?

Sadly, there seem to be no people within my observable fediverse who are talking about the 🙁

I guess I need to try and help with that on Sunday, with a live thread. Don’t think I’ve done one of those yet this year? I can’t remember.

Topic will be the pedal. Spoiler alert: great great pedal, but not replacing the Klon on my board.

Afterwards, I’ll repost it on the with audio samples.
