What sound do you need?

sounds really good. |

The TFR and the B3K aren't too dissimilar even though one is an OD and the other a fuzz. The TFR is rather polite to my ears and the B3K overlaps a lot of the same ground on higher distortion settings.

|  | OK. Now I'm biased.
Endorsed Artist: Myco Pedals | | Join Date: Dec 2009 Location: Lake Charles, La | | | I rock the B3K. Love it. But it certainly isn't fat and round...and it's modern (which a lot of old schoolers would call fake). Like it's designed to do (the Vintage will be more.....vintage). Compared to my B-Peg, it's tingy and fake sounding in the same sense a GK amp is tingy and fake sounding to an all tube amp. Not a laughable statement by any means.
But the Kool-Aids still good, I'm refillin' my cup. |

That being said, I wasn't a fan of the B3K either, but am expecting good things out of the vintage model. |

| Very true. I did take that into consideration. I'm looking forward to the Vintage too...sounds like they'll be swamped with orders.

We did a teaser last weekend. Hope it's ready to upload soon.
Regards, Doug.
