Montreux: Knebworth

Like the electric Pikachu, Montreux's Knebworth will only stun when provoked (ie. with the Booster function in use). In other settings, it gives you a great Euro-tube type tone; imagine a set of EL34s deep fried with a section of ECC83s & some convincing warmth to boot. I give the booster section a thumbs-up for its effectiveness- it adds character & depth to the overall tone dialled in & not simply an addition of lower frequencies.

Montreux: Knebworth

The Montreux range of effects pedals are now available at SV... pricey but worth checking out. I was there last evening to put the Knebworth unit to task not because it was full of false claims but because it features an effective BOOSTER section. The other pedals I tried with such propulsion on board, simply added more bottom end as if this is the venerable interpretation of what 'booster' means. The 3-band EQ section has a good sweep range to offer. Together with the Gain & Level meddling, you'd be having a good tweaking time. I am for the Knebworth simply because it possesses that Butah (CMATmods) voicing; a good drive which doesn't overwhelm the user's default tone. The Knebworth lists for $420.
