    I know Jim Hagerman and the designer quite well (initially from the high end audio world), really talented engineer. I have the overdrive version of this pedal and love it! I especially like adding it to an amp that already has gain, it's like having another tubr gain stage Without having to mod your amp, blends in well with a distorted tube amplifier pretty much better than just about any other overdrive pedal I have tried.

    Interesting pedal! I wonder how it compares to Fryette’s Boostassio (and/or S.A.S.) since also use the EF86 tube. Killer tone coming out of the Hagerman for sure! I have the Fryette S.A.S. myself, and although it seems to be a different circuit, I can definitely hear a similar “sizzling howl” on the sustained bends (like from 06:00 onwards) coming out of the Hagerman, which I believe is related to the character of the EF86 tube. Great job BTW!

    • @kenaiello4851
      @kenaiello4851 4 года назад

      @@PeteThorn The boost is called the Boostassio I used it with the Class 5, it made it a bit more bigger sounding and more dynamic. The SAS can be used as a clean boost with a tad of grit and when turning the gain up its a slight crunch to full on fuzz. Steve designed it to sound like a small vintage amp thats on a verge like the speaker is blowing up in a good way lol kinda like old Neal Young's tone IMO.

  • @leftymadrid
    @leftymadrid 4 года назад +5

    Pete, sounds tits up! Interesting pedal for sure. Your playing is tops dude!
    One thing I'd like to mention is, I've noticed the more amps and guitars and equipment I have the more I have to divide my attention to everything I have. Your saying that about your amp is a perfect example!! You said "I don't know why I don't use that amp more, it sounds great" I tell ya, It's like having way too many girlfriends!!!! It sucks because in the end you are driven crazy (at least this happens to me) so I came to the conclusion for now to use only the very best sounding equipment and guitars, and NOT by how much it cost me but how well it sounds...
    Now It all makes so much more sense, and sticking to certain guitars and equipment enables one to REALLY get to know an instrument and gear. Mentally I'm more sane (at least I believe this) lol
    Yeah, I can't help it but I think I'm a one girl is enough type of guy lol
    Just thought I'd share that, anybody else go through this out there?!
