New Pedal Day! Spent a few days demoing this pedal with various amps, including the Rumble 500c that I own, and comparing it against the Ampeg BA-210 that I used to own. I much prefer the pedal to the BA combo for various reasons and also prefer it to the SansAmp BDDI preamp that I had. Love it paired with the Rumble. I run it thru the input and mixed with the Rumble's preamp, I get a great mix of both Fender and Ampeg tones. Didnt want to spend $249 on it though. Got lucky and found one on in great condition on GC's website for $129!

I just bought one myself. I was wondering if you were running it at 9 volts or 12? I'm think about going to 12 volts which may give it some more headroom.
