I find the first Riff, Beards & Gear demo hilarious. His pedal platform amp just drives way too much to use as a pedal demo for anything that's supposed to emulate Clapton:

So the more I read up on it, people say it's supposed to be run direct (e.g., into a FRFR or PA system). If so, every demo of this gets that part wrong.

@peskypesky Full Range Frequency Response. But frankly all the cheaper FRFR options are really just PA stuff barely tweaked and rebadged (e.g., Headrush). I did find one demo of it into a Mixer but it seemed like it was using a cell phone to record so... of course it doesn't sound great.

Chandler (Golem) let me try it. It is confirmed - nothing musical contained in that pedal. Must be a recreation of the tones Clapton achieved while he was in his passed out drunk phase.
