Happy New Pedal Day to me for yesterday.... took delivery of the Hot Lanta pedal from Missing Link Audio.
All my life I have lusted after the tone that Duane Allman used.... that howling wail that was soooo good!! But I've never came close, mostly because I am less than useless at setting amps to get a sound. I just don't know how. And as much as I've tried, I've never learned. And I know I ain't gonna sound like Duane, (no-one can right??) and that's not what I'm hoping for anyway, just that wild tone!
So this pedal was advertised as "Fillmore East in a box".... I watched a few reviews on You Tube and was smitten.... I had to have it!
It arrived yesterday, I plugged it in to my Hot Rod Deluxe immediately, and with minimal fiddling with knobs, got a sound I'm already happy with! I played through it for nearly two hours before I succumbed to aching back and gave it up for the day. I've played though it again for a couple hours today, again succumbing to old age aches and pains, and I'm really happy with it.
When I ordered it, the web site advised a 4 - 6 week delay from order to shipment, which I accepted. The actual shipping time though was 11 weeks, but each email I sent them inquiring the whereabouts of my pedal was responded to very quickly, with polite explanations about their work load. I was satisfied with the whole process, frustrating though it was waiting for this item. But on the whole, I would not hesitate to buy other products from them in the future. Maybe I can win the lottery and buy one of their amps!!
Cheers
