I've never purchased a "boutique" pedal until now.... Instant love for a new builder, Mr. Black and his Deluxe Plus....

Many of you know, I've had the privilege of owner two KBP Reverb Deluxes. Unfortunately I fought with the tone of them. The one thing I absolutely loved was the tube driven Reverb and Tremolo of the amp. If I was to have a "signature" sound, it's to leave a bit of reverb and tremolo on at all times. Gives me a more open, breathing sound to my playing. Since switching to a Jet City amp for the band, I lost my two beloved sounds. I attempted to replace them with a Line6 M5, but it's a one trick at a time pedal. I returned it to the store along with the funds from my recent pedal sales. Told the guy, I am looking for a Reverb and a Tremolo pedal. He said he found a new company that specifically makes a tremolo and reverb pedal based upon Fender Blackfaced amps. Pulled up to a Carvin Belair and a real deal '65 Stratocaster. Wow, it's just as good, if not better then my Traynor and any of the hand wired KBP's I've used.

 

Oh for your viewing pleasure, black over Sunburst '65 Strat.

Cool Blues. Congrats.

Jack Deville (Mr. Black) is one talented pedal designer. I'm a big fan of his Deuce Coupe drive w/boost pedal. Would love to hear a clip of that Strat with the Deluxe Plus!

That's a nice looking boo-teek pedal. If it gives up the vibrato & reverb goods, even better.

 

Are you familiar with the Boss Fender Deluxe Reverb/Vibrato pedal?

I use one for the same reasons you do...but not all the time.

They had one of those for $60. I was looking for one, but I didn't want an amp simulator (that's another thread)

I don't have $11,000 for a thin neck Strat. Or any for any guitar...

 

Anyone notice the Heritage amp?

To my recollection you only had the one Orange KBP reverb deluxe amp. What would the other one be?

I had a stained pine cabinet one for a short time. It was his first Reverb Deluxe...

did you buy it direct?

that's cool...and you can use it with whatever amp you want!

 

 

lucky for Mr Black, he got to pick his own name:

It does sound great. Much sweeter than the Boss Deluxe pedal. (I wasn't aware that it was considered an amp simulator!)

The Boss Deluxe Reverb is supposed to be a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp simulator. There is a Boss '63 Reverb which is a simulator of the stand alone Fender Reverb head.
