Re: Pepe Rush PEPBOX
I have #10 from the first batch
Pretty awesome fuzz with a ton of volume on tap.
Replaced my Arbiter Fuzz Face with this pedal if that says anything?
The only drawback is that it does not really clean up per se
It gets thin and trebly and can really cut through in a mix when volume is rolled back almost like a rangemaster but never rolls all the way down to unity. Good thing there is a footswitch then.
Also dor some reason when engaged the tone knob on my bridge pickup becomes useless...but tone knob works fine on neck pickup.
I also dislike the attached cord espeically with a straight jack as a rule of thumb...makes it kinda hard to navigate pedalboard positioning.
I would be very interested to here it side by side with an original and a jerms.

Re: Pepe Rush PEPBOX
allright!
My Pepbox (no 13!) arrived yesterday - here is a 2 min demo. I recently got a nice video camera but this isn't shot on it - - i am having trouble with SD cards for it, so this is shot on my old casio still camera. Bear in mind the amp ia quite dark and the gtr is on the neck pickup. It's rough aand loose, but gets across the character of the pedal well. The sound is pretty great I think - kind of midway betweem a Fuzztone and Mk1, and tons of gain - the volume is on about 3 in the vid.

Re: Pepe Rush PEPBOX
Awesome!
Thanks for taking the time to do this, sounds great!
A healthy mix of Maestro and MkI is exactly how I'd describe my Jerms Pepbox, with monstrous output on tap.
Is that a Dallas '30' combo you were using btw? Super clean, want...
