I use my Ecstasy Blue at every single gig, and it sounds stunning in front every amp I've used, including 65 Amps, a Peavey Classic 30, solid state combos, and a vintage Fender Twin Reverb. I've A/B'd this pedal with other really good name brand overdrives, as well as against premium hand wired drives, and the Bogner Ecstasy Blue surpasses them all in terms of organic feel, naturalness, and degree of interactive quality. It's warm, woody, crunchy, and sounds authentically like a great overdriven Marshall type tube amp. It is in the true sense of the word an "amp in a box."

The most I've paid for a pedal is like $65. for the RAT2.

I keep coming back to the Dano Daddy 'O for the boxed Marshall vibe lately.
Which I think I bought after a TMC review as well.
I'm pretty happy with it, so I'm probably just blowing smoke.

Demo with an SX:

Apparently, some people don't like how much boost the boost has. They want the ability to get unity gain from the boost. I don't think that makes sense to me at all.

It's crazy that Guitar Center would make a pedal demo with a $150 guitar that they don't sell.

golem wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 2:42 pm @slowhand84 just got mine dropped off. The package and finish on this are intense. It's like opening an Apple product. I can't try it until m wife wakes up (sleeping between night shifts).

Update: Plugged it in. The boost is a pretty big jump in volume. I used it with my Origin 5C, an amp I tend to use with both built-in boost and EQ or compression pedal pushing it further. It sounds good without the boost but heavenly with it. I've barely tried any of the settings on it but can already understand why some people love this pedal the way they do. I have to try it with more amps and other settings.

Nice, I'll report back on mine tomorrow. I think primarily this thing is meant to be used with the amp run clean which is how I use ALL my pedals, so I expect it'll sound pretty great with it. I'm a little up to my ears in drive pedals but we'll see if it ends up being a keeper. Glad to hear you like it!
