New Pedals in Action

I recently picked up 2 new pedals, An MXR Micro Amp (clean booster for overdriving amp inputs), and Phase 90 (script version) I just laid down a short demo (New Pedal Demo), playing along to a bass/drums backup track I found online. The amp's a Fender Champ cranked full for the main guitar. The cleaner part during the chorus is a Supro 2X12 combo.

djax always makes me think of the large black character from mortal combat... wasn't his name djax?

anywho, love the recording. you really showed everything that can be done with a phaser. the light phase on the overall gtr sound and the 'almost vibrato' effect ala led zeppelins no quarter. outstanding.

I have a phase90 and a BYOC confidence boost (sm circuit as the micro amp). A lot of folks wonder... isn't a boost just for solos? and anyone who's owned one knows - "no, they make a great transparent overdrive possible".
You def showed that here.

Thanks MM...Yeah, I wasn't looking for volume increase at all really with the Micro Amp. I was after a pure booster with no overdrive or coloration that would hit the inputs of my tube amps, and make the amps do all the distortion.
Dajax is just Dave from Ajax, pretty clever huh? :lol:
