GK rails in a pedal?

[kleinenenten]

I keep feeling like I should buy one of these pedals but I just don't know what I'd use it for. I have 2 800rbs in my live rack, I rehearse with a 400rb and I have a spare 800rb. Btw, I have always read that 400s aren't very loud. Well, I have an '83, play into a 2x15 with EVs, I crank the master and barely open the vol knob it it is loud as hell in my metal/hard rock band with a very hard hitting drummer.

Whoever told you that is simply wrong. I use it because these amps are so loud that getting the grind from them is impractical for me. This pedal lets me get that sound at any volume. It also works as a nice dirty/treble boost for my other dirt when I need it.

I use a GK Rails with my GK400B(not RB). It slays.

Hmmm, who is making them still?

That is why I sold my 1001, killer amp but just couldn't turn it up enough without blowing everyone away. Switching to 800rbs helped that problem

Can never sell the 1001rbii, just the best sounding amp with head room galore. And that's the reason for the 800 sim pedal. Don't have to crank it any longer to get that sound!

Precisely. Also, I like to use other dirt, and other dirt doesn't always like the GK growl.

Here's a pic of my board, gotta say that the wampler pedal goes great after the 800 sim pedal. 800 sim is always, well almost always on, wampler sometimes. Great pedal though to compliment!

I don't need a pedal to get that sound. I can get it VERY easily from my amp, just by cranking up the input volume.

Oh, I just happen to have an 800RB.

Who is making these?? I thought, hell I have 2 800rbs in my rack, a back up and a 400rb for rehearsal, what would I need this? When your going to jump up at a show and play 4 songs with 2 different bands and use whatever they have on stage. Hell, I'll buy right now!

Does anyone here have a copy of the layout? The lastest link I can find in this thread is broken (Pg. 30: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed])

I got it! Thanks to all

Anyone selling one of these? Not looking for a long wait time on a build

Never. How dare you ask!

 

[therhodeo]

Does anyone have clips of this pedal?

Here's a short sample with boost engaged.

Sounds pretty bad ass. Think I may have a use for one now! I have been using an SVT Heritage lately. I've been thinking about adding an OD pedal and I was looking at the agro pedal but maybe this would be better. I haven't seen anyone selling one though.

Settings? That sounds great!

And the signal chain, please.

Mic'ed with the Sm7B into a cheap Yamaha PA mixer, into an H4N recorder.
[Note the gain on the amp at at 11 o'clock, which adds some edge]
