Really stoked on this. I do a lot of touring by flying out and playing on borrowed gear. I normally use the Rusty Box into power amp in of whatever amp I'm using, but this might be another option for those situations.

Too big for a pedal/for me and most certainly way too expensive.
From me it#s a 'No thanks' '

Anyone got board pics of the meatsmoke alongside other pedals? Just trying to get an idea of the sort of board space I would need.

probably not what you are looking for but here is my board and my meatsmoke preamp pedal at a gig

That's a great help. Thanks very much. You've got a killer step there. Are you running the meatsmoke as the last pedal in the chain after your board?

Oh no, I was just bein a wiseguy, I think someone else requested the pic. I actually have mine on my board. I downsized to the Meatsmoke, OSD, GreyStache and a NS-2. And TU-3 of course. They all kinda sit around the MS pre. Best pedal ever. Totally worth the price.

That's right, I was also running the preamp into the effects return of a GK head with the recording output sent to a JDI

Can someone post more pictures so we get an idea of how big it is? Or even post measurements

Here ya go. Pardon the mess. It was the first day I had it and I was tryin dif configurations and pedals out before it. But, this will give you a better idea of the size.

Thanks!

I have been thinking about rearranging my board to accommodate mine. I took some measurements last night, I believe it was roughly 8x10"

Anyone else hear a weird almost filter effect when you roll the volume past 3 oclock? I know there's not any need to turn it up there really, but its interesting.
Its most prominent with the boost on and the gain up high.

Interest in a Meatsmoke club... anyone?

[franksgbass]

Sure, maybe we should make it a Verellen club. Since there are skyhammer and big spider users here as well.

Okay, here's my question for y'all - and I can repost this in Club Verellen if I need to - but I have two SVT Bluelines that I'm just sitting on. I hate lugging these things around. I'm thinking of downsizing. I love the Verellen Meatsmoke, but never considering going for one cus of the aforementioned SVTs.

How do these pedals/pre-amps compare? I'd love to get rid of one of these monster heads and get something cheap, like an old acoustic or gk, run one of these pedals into it for the warmth and tube overdrive. Would it even compare? I was really impressed with the sound clips you guys posted, plus the kickstarter video...

Thoughts/opinions?

I had a SVT CL and I just ordered my Meatsmoke and to my ears it gets close enough it has three tubes which could be changed for a different taste. I think your idea would work just fine.
