Default Smaller box in the mail!!!

And holy mackerel! What a box.



Plenty of box candy and... the box in question:



Yes, I know, it is garish. This is the Analog Alien Joe Walsh Double Classic. I'm going to call this a "better box." If you've got a decent but uninspiring amp, this thing makes it sound better. It features a really gentle soft-knee compressor and an overdrive. The overdrive is a low-gain thing, really just a step above the low-gain Fender amps. It's like "canned attitude." An "amp in a can."

I brought it in to work at the studio today and plugged it up to the '71 Champ I keep here, and boom! - smooth drive and sustain out of a little Champy. I actually bought it to add the smooth growl to the Leslie G37 that came last week and it also does that well.

Yeah, but a review is coming... after the honeymoon.
