The Keeley tone workstation can replace 3 of the 5 pedals and add a compressor as a bonus. Was also used by John. If I'm not mistaken the original concept was designed for him or something like that.

Do you own the tone workstation? What’s your experience? I tried a Keeley Aria once and the noise floor of the compressor was unbearable. What’s the compressor portion of the Workstation like, quiet or noisy? I def like all the options it would provide.
@ninokolen43002 жыл бұрын
@gamerblazer No I don’t own one. However I do own the Monterey and that one is noisy to, also when bypassed. Pedal does sound okay though. However Keeley is a renowned builder so I would suggest you find one second hand and experiment. If you don’t like it you can always flip it without a real loss. That’s how I go about it at least.
@vivalajustin92 Жыл бұрын
@@DGoetz26 I had the pedal for a bit when I was starting out. I was pretty new so don’t remember exactly on the sound of the compressor, but it overall was pretty noisy. May have been my power supply but I think that was a pretty common complaint. The other big downside was its size - the knobs and switches were so small, tough to move around.

Really enjoyed the fact that you didn't go TOO cheap I feel like not many people realise how much harder it is to get a good crunch tone (eg pretty much any John Mayer song) compared to heavy distortion so I completely get spending a bit more than you would think on the drive. PS my two drives are an original Mk1 and a TC El Cambo, and the TC is an amazing TS10 copy for no more than £30!!! blends beautifully with my BB and nails all the Mayer tones as well as any solos I do with my own band

I've literally just done this exact project. I managed to get a v1 katana fir 100 gbp, Marshall bluesbreaker 2, ts5, reissue ad9, DD7, TR2. Those other options for the 'fifth spot' gives a great list of pedals to pick up next to start fleshing out a whole continuum board.

If you're wanting to get closer, I'd ditch the B.B2 since it's a different circuit, and go with the Blues Blaster by "Blammo!" pedals. I picked one up and it sounds amazing... an exact copy of a BBv1 with a couple slight mods for reliability and less noise... and the mod is optional via toggle button.

Hey Justin, have you ever looked into the Snouse BlackBox 2 as a Blues Breaker pedal alternative? Curious if you have any thoughts on it? I have it, the Stage Pro Mod version which has external switching options, but I have NEVER played a real Blues Breaker to compare with. :) Understandably, it’s a premium product, maybe not for a $500 board, but for a higher end board maybe. Love your channel! Gabe (from Australia).
