The Blackheart Little Giant and a couple of pedals

andjar · Jun 4th 2013

It might have been cheap when they were still makeing it but it's my favourite amp to put pedals in front of.Great cleans of its own as well.I will never sell this thing.
This is it:
-the koreean made little giant head equiped with a tung sol 12ax7 and a jj el84.
-marshall haze cab with a 12" celestion marquee G12-66 speaker.
-the mighty great e906

I managed to profile quite succesfully 2 of my favourite pedals, the proco you dirty rat(the germanium diodes rat) and the voodoo lab superfuzz(one of the best silicone fuzzy distortions ever).

Thanks for making these - perfect timing, too. A friend of mine was just telling me how good his Blackheart sounds with pedals. And, thanks for including that Rat - I played in Kalamazoo a long time ago, and got an original germanium transistor Rat at the Proco factory while I was there. It eventually went away, but I'm lookimg forward to having that sound back

yes,in front of the blackheart,one at a time....both dialed to get my favourite sweetspot.The profiles might need some eq adjusments to everyone's tastes.

I'll also profile a whiteface rat reissue in the future .

I know the "CLEAN" profile is not very clean...for single coils it is clean enough i think.
