Default vfe blues king pedal

Well... I did something I've never done before. I never vowed I wouldn't, but I assumed I didn't need to make that vow because it was a foregone conclusion it would never happen.

I bought a Boutique pedal... I compounded that folly, by pre-ordering it! Pre-ordered! A new model, which is different than the one I played! Oh the agony! Oh the shame!

VFE Blues King. Played one at a jam last night. It pretty much covers everything I want to do, and a few things I didn't know I wanted to do.

To some $159 for a pedal isn't a lot. To me it's crazy! I'm the guy who runs Boss SD-1 instead of reissue tube screamers... I've never even come close to spending $100 on a pedal. Sigh... Hopefully this isn't a trend.

overdrive/boost pedals are a dime a dozen so having the ability to try it out sure makes it possible that it will work very well for you. i've only bought one pedal without playing it and was lucky that it is really great-the fulltone fulldrive 3.

play music!

Given the price point (under $150?), it's actually a good value for the number of tones you were able to dial in. Tons of options on this pedal.

Enjoyed the demo, thanks.
