thanks Dave. :thumb:

i’m quite tempted to get one. i used to have a Guv’nor (the original one) which i liked a lot.

it has the trademark, classic Marshall distortion sound… i don’t know how else to describe it.

by modern standards I’d say it has a moderate amount of gain – a little less gain than a Rat for example.
the three EQ controls and range of gain make it quite versatile in theory but i found that i only liked the pedal in one setting… which was with the gain at maximum for an all out rock sound. :rawk:

the EQ – the treble in particular – is interactive with the gain; i found that the higher you have the gain, the less treble you need and vice versa.
if i remember correctly, it is quite dynamic – even at max gain – and responsive.

Welcome JorisBlack and nice board

Yes, i might do that too – the inline function is pretty useless, i don’t even bother to use a mic with it anymore for bedroom practice. usually the tube gets taped to a mic stand and i use it into my vocal mic when i need to amplify it – running it through an amp just doesn’t work. A guy at college has a Rocktron Banshee talkbox which is so much better…

Julian, thanks for the suggestion about making a board, but it’s the case that i need really – my needs are a good quality case that i can just open up, lift off the lid and have all my pedals there already setup that i just need to plug into the amp.

Most recent pic of my pedals. It’s usually not that messy, and there’s usually not a bass laying on top of them. Hehe. I don’t have a board because I’m constantly moving pedals around.

EHX gear (all there, but some you can’t see, I think):

HOG w/ Foot Controller
2880 w/ Foot Controller (sits on top of amp)
Germanium OD
Graphic Fuzz
Small Stone
Q Tron

I ALWAYS have the Germanium OD and HOG (once I get around to having it repaired) in the chain.

Also, cool forum! Thanks for making it.

awesome

I love the HOG

Cool! How do you like the Hot Tubes?
I used to have the Holier Grail, but I sold it off and bought the Holy and Holiest Grails. I do miss the gate on the Holier Grail 😥 That was a really cool feature. I might have to pick one up again some day.
