Have anyone tried the Radial Tonebone overdrive/ distortion?
Classic or Hot british? I've read only good things about them, but would like to hear from users instead of magazine reviews.
Anyone?

I've got the Hot British.

It's a beast, I'll tell you that. You can *barely* accomplish JCM 800 style tones at it's absolute lowest settings, but from my experience, it's more adept at simulating absolutely CRANKED JCM 800 tones, with mid-scoops, the whole bit. Endless sustain.

You can achieve just about any tone quot;shapequot; with that pedal, including that of a vintage Marshall, but it won't sound like the real deal. You basically have to set everything to quot;zeroquot;, and bump the midrange, etc.

It's a fun pedal, and worth the money, but not a replacement (nor is ANY pedal) for the actual amp.

I do wonder if the Classic would've been a better purchase for myself (looking for cranked Plexi tones), but I still consider the Hot British an absolute gem. I've got NOTHING bad to say about it. Absolutely studly construction, I'll tell you that.

I had a Hot british that I got off ebay but man mine was fricken cursed... 2 switches and one of the pots on it failed and I couldn;t get rid of this strange hiss sound out of it even at low volume/gain levels.

I think I got a bum one cuz I've never heard bad things about these, but everything was wrong with this one!

These are more or less the same comments as I've read. Nice to hear from users, though! Thanks!
