I was holding off on saying anything about it until i really knew what I wanted to say but It's got nuthin' to do with the green amp. When i first started working on the Monarch I mentioned that it was a mix of plexi/bassman/orange and it really ended up with more of the orange flavor. This is the more marshall/cranked bassman type sound but it's a little bit more. It's an attempt to get the sound heard on how the west was won and several other zeppelin bootlegs. Not totally over the top distorted yet not too clean with a healthy mid range that's still full and lively with the low end. An "Amp on a record in a box" It's also transistor based which is a little unorthodox. Gives it a little more of a vintage feel I think. Works best at 18v but still sound cool at 9v. Should be going out at the end of this week or early next week. Because I like the challenge, the first 125 are done ye olde fashioned way with ivy green spray paint and waterslide decals, the rest will be powder coated (color undecided) and screen printed. $145.00 is the price.
I feel like a giddy schoolgirl. This pedal looks & sounds like it's gonna be another winner!! In honor I fired up the Monarch and Pulse Machine tonight and wailed away.
