Love the Golden Plexi 2. Great Pedals, I also have the Flexo Drive for that low-gain vibe, stacks well with the GP. Those original drives they did with the dual switches always has an almost unusable amount of volume on their boost. The slightest turn of the boost know and it'll blow your ears off

I actually prefer the GP1 over the 2 but both are excellent pedals

Me personally I prefer having more range on the drive, but I get it, the original was much loved by many because it was ball to the wall Marshally gain.

I use mine permanently on with a Marshall GuvNor .
I think there’s a Mk3 now which is the Mk1 & 2 in the same pedal..

Never heard of them, I'll take a look!

Still have to patch all power cables but the good news is that there's room for one more pedal because I can move the patch box under the board. I've tried if there's room and there's plenty.

New entries are OCD and Echoplex.
Ocd will be used for very light od sounds with the jubilee clean channel.

I'll probably swap vibe and ocd positions because ocd will be more an always on pedal within a song.

My Tone King Imperial pedal arrived yesterday. It doesn’t chug, it won’t do Nu Metal, but it does old school like nobody’s business.

2 of 4 are from this year, SlapBack, Prince of Tone.

More from this year:

Cool tiny fuzz. Bazz circuit, sounds good, not over the top. It’s in a candy coin box, 1.5 inches square. TOO CUTE!

Some bass pedals:

Like both of these, the Microtubes is nasty with a good eq sweep, Wine Cellar, cleaner, also great eq and a DI.

Killer tape delay, half price so I had to go for it! No pictures, but I bought 3 fuzz pedals, the cube above, a Devi Ever clone, EHX Lizard Queen, and a Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive v1. When I look at it I feel I’m out of control!! Having fun tho……

Might be due to how the jubilee loop works but the MXR Echoplex plays so much better than the TC Flashback that I'm considering buying the MXR reverb (M300) and replace the hall of fame too.

is not about the algorithms but how the (analog part?) pedal responds. with the tc there is a kind of a ducking effect that prevents the repets (or the reverb) to really wrap around the dry sound. sounds like the pedal can't handle the incoming singal. I hear also some kind of compression/limiting on the pick attack (with clean sounds), that is not a big deal but is a bit annoying, tbh.

the echoplex works perfectly and sound really good.
