words cannot describe the feelings when seeing the Raagnarok in real life...
such an emotive and beautiful pedal...

work does not allow me to try it out until the weekend though ☹
but benj's work is tops! wow!

I went down to the CraigAmps HQ yesterday to go and check some of pedals Benji is currently working on. He is busy with a "Hendrix type silicon fuzzface" pedal, and there was a "proto type" ready for me to test!!!
This Fuzz has got that smooth vintage sound down, but is also bright enough to cut through any mix. It really cleans up very nicely when you roll the volume back on the guitar. Awesome Fuzz pedal, and I can't wait to see what the art work.
Tested it with a Strat and a Epiphone Dot and it worked beautifully with both.

And GAS got the better of me before I left I ordered a DualDrive2!!!

Benj has just informed me that my DD2 is done and I will have it by tomorrow :dance: :dance: :dance: :woohoo:.

Man oh man, I cannot wait. :'(

Will give some feedback tomorrow!

I see Craig is now shipping overseas

Congrats Benj!! :applause: :applause:

I love how Benjamin's pedals are always so neatly made.

He shipped a 'Vintage Green' to me in the UK in February 2012!
And my bass player got a SickFuzz shipped over to him
here around August 2012.

He's already international....

Unfortunately Benjie is the designer, manufacturer, chief cook and bottle-washer, he could do with a bit of help on the demo side of things.

StefStoep Why don't you do a deal with him, to cut demo tracks /Vids on all his pedals. to be placed on his website/YouTube etc. etc.

Alan you are so right, +1000000000 :applause:

Hi Attila, i'll have a chat to Benji tomorrow, it's the man's birthday tomorrow and where having a little celebration braai at his place.

Don't think it's a bad idea at all, but it must be done in good quality otherwise it doesn't help

Happy "early" birthday Benj.

Stef Hope you guys gave it stick on Saturday :goodtimes:

True but a simple formula, ala - short overview to the pedal - one or two riffs in various comparative settings - and a players opinion....

I would keep the the test bed fairly static - same guitars, same amp & setting, same riffs, same recording setup and same player.

anyway this is just my opinion.

If anyone is going down to Nelspruit soon, please let me know as I have something I need to give to Benj (an old EHX pedal I am not using)

I just need to say, I am LOVING my Vintage R! I've been favouring it over the TS808 reissue, its fantastic. Thank you Benj!

+1
I would maybe add single-coil and humbucker guitars to that formula.

Roy, I'll be in Centurion/Pretoria on Thursday and Friday. If you want me to bring the pedal back with me just let me know.

eric-vaxxine

I have said it before, but I will say it again....
I use two Craig pedals through the clean channel of my
Marshall TSL...not the Marshall's Crunch or Lead nor
my Boogie MKIV.

I've asked Benj to consider building me an Octave pedal (TwoTastic)
a Leslie Rotary emulator (Circus) and a Reverse Repeater Delay
(Push 'n Pull). . . (my names).

If he does...oh my goodness....I will need to save up and go
without beer for a couple of months !!!

Big-G

I've also been chatting to Benj about the possibility of a delay, and I did also ask about an octaver, but I think the delay is more of a priority right now?

Just got to sell all this surplus gear to fund it all! Keep an eye out here next year if I succeed?!!

Cheers
G!

Nice Joel
