Any guitarist that is looking for that Duane Allman sound should check out this pedal.

&t=226s
the guy demo-ing it is a pretty good player also.
I'm trying not to order one, I've got more overdrive pedals than guitars and I would have to think about how many guitars I have.

Not much noise for the degree of gain.
I'm still strictly an amp gain guy (Boogie & Marshall) so I won't be buying one.
I agree the guy is pretty good. He's good with the fingering behind the slide.

2. Ya I love amp gain

But having 5 or 6 amps is just a bit too much for me for the past couple of years. Now I just use a clean tube amp and a bunch of overdrive and fuzz pedals. I could make a large extra pedal board out of the overdrives and fuzz’s I have currently not on my board lol and that one is a large board also. In other words, too many pedals but they take up less space than that many amps.

...not the ones we hosted, I bought a Vox Saturator.
It's really good high gain, has a boost switch, chosable input damping & a good tone control.
The, instead of taking 70 or 80# of amp, I'd just the the host "Just give me a good clean tone."
I like it a lot. Doesn't record well, but sounds great out of amp.
It was designed by Vox for & in concert with Joe Satriani. That's why I figured it would be a wise buy.

A good one you can get for cheap used is the Way Huge Saucy, very ZZ top sounding. I love it plus it looks funny.
I can talk pedals for hours, and amps, and guitars and mics and,,,,,,,,,,,lol.
Keep on keeponing.

I went to wah only about 30 years ago.
I do have a digital reverb & a digital delay/chorus in a rack, but the latter is mostly on/off.
I know a guy with over 40 pedals on his pedal board. There are 4 routers on it. Takes him 20 minutes just to test it before a show. Thing is, the other guitar player in his band has 4 and has about the same variety of tone.
That pedal board has to worth 8 or 9 grand!
Not for me.
Oh and: that is a cool looking pedal.

I have an analog delay, a wah pedal and then the rest are just overdrives or fuzzes. And a tuner.

When I was playing, I had 2 sustain pedals & 6 volume pedals on the floor for my keyboard rig.
I had enough on the floor.
Stomp boxes for guitar would have left me nowhere to stand.
Our guitar player was like you. Pretty minimal.
Delay, distortion, chorus. That's it. He had a Boogie S.O.B that was like a Mk1, so didn't have true channel switching. He ran it on the edge of breakup and used an overdrive to push it over the top.
His tone was still less saturated than mine. So, my clean was cleaner and my distortion was denser. Worked well because people could always hear both guitars in the mix.
Funny story: when he got his OD, Guitar Center had a big sale on DOD & Boss pedals.
In those days, the nearest HC was nearly 40 miles away and we went all the way there for a stomp box
He was eying the DOD for $39. But, the pedal setup right next to it was Boss.
He tried the first one, and then tried the Boss. It sounded so much better than the DOD, I Saud "You're getting the Boss if I have to give you the other $10."
He used that pedal for the next 18 years!
