Haha, I’m just the messenger. I could ask if he’d prefer bitcoin if you like?

He doesn’t have a website as far as I can see, his email is

Second video up of 2 of the higher gain versions.
The Supersonic has more gain than I know what to do with but the Ecstasy was right up my ally!
This guitar was an impulse buy and it will be available after I’ve done all the higher gain pedal videos. There is a VH4 and DSL100 pedal to come which I might keep this guitar for too.
Any suggestions on riffs to learn for future videos are welcome, I’m running out of ideas and it’s good for practice to challenge myself a little.

Did a demo of Baja’s new version of his Real Tube Overdrive today. They now operate at 9v as apposed to the old ones at 16v.
My personal take on it after playing it, it’s good for lead but not that tight for rhythm chords etc. at higher gain it feels similar to playing a fuzz face turned down a little, has some fuzzy texture around the notes and I want to play in a similar way to when I’m
Using a fuzz as apposed to an opamp overdrive type pedal.
12ax7 is operating at proper high voltage which is cool as it is a standard 9v input now.

Quite liked that Reg. I didn’t think it was too fuzzy

Well done.

Glad to see the tube is running at high voltage.

Baja DR Boogie preamp. Thought Master of puppets would be easy to learn, turns out I over estimated my skill level.
Anyway demo of another one of his preamp pedals.
