The Bogner Ecstasy Blue Mini is a compact overdrive preamp pedal based on the Blue channel of Bogner's celebrated Ecstasy amplifier. Covers the range from subtle clean boost and lightly enhanced crunch through harmonically complex vintage crunch tones. A Plexi mode engages a squashy, compressed voicing associated with early Marshall plexi amplifiers. A three-mode selector covers boost, clean, and full preamp modes. A 3-band EQ with global boost provides wide tone shaping. Sought by players wanting the Bogner Ecstasy amplifier character in compact pedal format.
The JHS Charlie Brown is an overdrive voiced to capture the tone of a cranked mid-1960s Marshall JTM45, delivering thick, chewy, old-school British rock crunch. With a three-band EQ it ranges from a near-transparent boost up to full, dimed Marshall-style saturation, producing copious chunky crunch just short of high gain and rich lower-gain overdrive with a thick shot of sustain and musicality. It adds a touch of compression and midrange and reacts much like a real tube amp, which makes it both a satisfying standalone drive and an excellent candidate for stacking with another overdrive. The V4 adds Marshall-style tone controls that help it mate with a clean amp and dial in the exact JTM45 character. It is especially suited to 1960s and 1970s blues rock and classic rock tones.
