Topic: Rodenberg GAS-828

hey all-

I have been gassing for one of these for a couple years now... It's essentially just two tubescreamer style pedals stuck together, but better. Each side has its own bass boost and the left side has a switch that offers 3x more gain. It quickly found a permanent home on my board, which means that I need to design a new rig for my Goran Fatboy Drive XD. Only downside is the price... they're handmade in Germany and aren't cheap.

Re: Rodenberg GAS-828

Cool. Look into it more when I get a chance later. I like the fact it has a boost side for leads. Didn't see price but if someone uses a separate boost pedal or a compressor, as I do, for leads; you'd still need a second pedal so in the long run youd be spending extra anyway on one. So not necessarily a turn off if its higher in price. And also sometimes you want 2 tones from a tube screamer for different guitars but don't want to have to reset it between songs and stuff. I don't really get into the crap loads of endless overdrives on the market cause I like the ts808 and it seems everything is based off of that. I would like to check that pedal out though a little more. Looks cool and I'm a fan of anything German made. I'm sure it's quality stuff.

I've only gotten to play with it for a few minutes... but its really amazing, and built like a tank. There are different versions too... the 728 (I think) has a clean boost and an overdrive on one pedal.
