This is me demonstrating the earthy, moody, early rock  vibe of the silver box I got from 'Made by Mike' pedals. The pedal's designed to give the wide dynamic range and clarity of the type of Hiwatt amps used by Pete Townshend/Jimmy Page.

I refer to it as the silver box because that's what it is - plain metal, purple led, no graphics, as I asked for it.  Mike hand builds all his pedals to order and I wanted to spread the word about him.

It's one take, just larking around to show the dynamic range. Pedal always on with fixed settings. All tonal changes are from guitar volume, pick up selection or just picking dynamics.

The pedal is Mike's recreation of the sound of the Catalinbread RAH. It's designed to emphasise dynamics rather than smoothing them out like most amps/pedals. That gives it a very responsive sound that shows up nuances and fluffed notes alike.
