Hello!
This is a question for David or Ronni, but if anyone else has experience with this pedal, I'd be glad to hear your comments.
This is my first post to the Forum. I am a proud owner of 4 Barber pedals: Tone Press (the ONLY compressor I've ever been able to actually use and enjoy!), Direct Drive LG, LTD, and Small Fry (which is one of the most unique distortion/overdrive pedals I've ever heard - so much so, that I have 3 of 'em , and 2 of the others!).
Anyway, I play through a Hiwatt DR 103 live , which as most know, does not color your tone much and is thus great for pedals. As with a lot of players, the big problem I have with most distortion pedals is the Mids. Many pedals have a particular mid hump that you either like or not, and more often than not, can not dial it out. I know I'm in the minority, but I've never been a fan of Tube Screamers for that reason - the mid peak.
My all time favorite distortion pedal is the original Marshall Guv'nor (not those GV 2 reissues!). I was curious, then about your new B Custom Super Sport because the description says something about a "British" flavor AND about an internal Mid switch which even can be set flat.
Is there any way the pedal can be set up in the Guv'nor territory or is still more in the Tube Screamer realm??
(BTW, while I do have a Direct Drive LG, I only use it at it's lowest and most subtle gain setting, to achieve a shimmery, almost "plexi" like slight crunch, which does sound really nice).
Thanks a lot! I really love my Barber pedals - both the tone and their mil-spec/industrial strength like construction!
