Dirt/Preamp Pedals with Tubes

[KingsXJJ]

I have a couple from an TGF unapproved brand pedals that I really enjoy in to my TM Super loaded with CB’s. It’s my only big amp at my current location.

But I’m thinking about getting another. The Two-Note Revolt is on sale for about $230 right now but there’s also a nice looking new kid in town. The T-Rex Twin Blaze looks super duper but has fewer features like the effects loop on the Revolt. It’s also a bit more at about $290. But it sure looks nice in the photos.

Any thoughts or experiences to share? Stock photos.

I'm curious too, about those.

I’ve never heard anything but high praise for Kingsley. I need to try one someday

If I knew the Crunch was really awesome on the Twin Blaze, I’d get it. But I want plenty of gain and feel from that.

Lots of pedals! I wish I could easily see which were hot-rodded Plexi’s and 800’s.

FWIW, I really dig the newer Vox EQ and Comp pedals. The EQ is very “musical” to me. I know that’s not a helpful term but it is accurate in my opinion. For the Comp, I really like the “Sag” setting for emulating a tube power amp feel on a pedal board while using headphones.

Kingsley do great stuff. I really like the Kourbis tube pedals and the Crazy Tube Circuits tube od's too.

I've been thinking about the Vox eq lately tbh, I may end up with it soon. I could see using it with the Cutting Edge to really carve out some killer tones. It's already a great pedal, but I think the extra eq would make it super versatile.

I own three Kingsley pedals. One of which, the Constable, is a vintage Plexi preamp. The other two are boost/ODs... A Page v2 and a Page TS. Simon is great to deal with and builds superb pedals.
