Amt Electronics Tube Hall - "Impeccable sound, outdated ergonomics"

Behringer Vintage Tube Monster VT999 - "Bon rapport qualité prix "
I bought a used one. I changed the old 12ax7 Brugera for a 12au7 G.E NOS, but the loss of gain was too much. I finally put a 12ax7 JJ, and I am satisfied. The sound ranges from a light blues overdriv…

Vertex Effects Systems Ultra-Phonix HRM - "Good OD"

Korg Pme-40x - "Major mojo"

Boss OD-20 Drive Zone - "gotta know how to use it"
