T-Rex Engineering

From the moment T-Rex started making guitar pedals, the company knew where it was headed. T-Rex wanted to make simple pedals that each did one thing superbly. Like fine musical instruments, T-Rex pedals used whatever combination of technologies was needed, offered a brilliantly simple user interface, and delivered astonishing sound however they were used. The first series of pedals culminated in what is arguably the best guitar delay ever produced: the T-Rex Replica.

Although optimised for "British" voiced amps [eg the Vox AC30/Orange AD30], I invite you to A/B test the Rich Drive against any other overdriver on the market. The stronger bottom end means this is also a great pedal for bass players.
