I just got a joe meek gbq in the mail and plugged it in. I think some of you guys would be interested in one of these ( heady) . Extemely tweakable od/distortion with separate footswitchable eq section
Cool man, looks like a pretty impressive unit. I like that they started making floor effects, heard great things about their rack processors and the FloorQ comp has a great rep if you want something transparent. I've never seen an effect loop on a dirt pedal - I guess that allows you to put effects between the overdrive and EQ? Or just before the master/output volume?
How do you like the overdrive? Is it at all comparable to a TS or just a different beast? It would be pretty useful if you could dial a TS in on the overdrive/distortion side and set a midrange boost on the EQ for leads - which is why I figured you said I might like this pedal ;) I would have definitely been interested in that if I were still using a Fender amp, the lead channel of the Mesa does the trick for me though!
Just out of curiosity, have you found the Even Order Harmonic control useful? Seems like a feature they added just cuz they could.
Also, have you tried it as a headphone amp? I tend to assume I would prefer just playing acoustic if playing loud wasn't a possibility.

Oooww. Too many questions. My brain hurts. I haven't really fucked with it yet. I will spend some time with it in a few days and let you know. So far, i would say you can dial in whatever you want with this thing but it does have a big footprint.... Happy fathers day to raisin, walker and AO and all the other responsible dads
Lol, I figured. I didn't even know that existed, so I haven't seen any reviews. So I know it might take a bit to gain an opinion on those aspects. Take your time on that, but from the limited info I found, that seems like questions that might come up. I feel pretty set with the '83 TS I just got and I found and '82 as well that I think I am getting Tuesday, but I still think that seems cool.
Also, happy fathers day to those who are fathers, happy fathers day to those who are fortunate not to be accidental fathers as well (me, at least).
Sounds like a cool piece of equipment. Happy Father's Day to all you bad mothers out there...bad mother f&ckers I mean!
