No, not Simon Cowell but the new boost, overdrive and distortion stompbox from Lovepedal 13-Jan-10
Lovepedal have announced the Englishman stompbox. Here's what they have to say about it...
The ENGLISHMANâ„¢ simulates the classic AC vintage amplifiers right before the amp fries. I have found these vintage amplifiers sound best CRANKED and on the verge of failure.
The unit will also enhance the sound of any amplifier without altering the tone of your guitar. The ENGLISHMANâ„¢ has the ability to act as a super clean boost, semi clean boost, or with the volume & gain pushed higher it is capable of pushing any amp into beautiful harmonic breakup, overdrive and distortion.
With 3 modes of failure the "FAILâ„¢" switch embarks new worlds of natural overdrive and downright amplifier distortion in a good way.
It flat out screams if you want it to or not. Just like the original English amplifiers of a time gone by...
