Mesa Boogie Grid Slammer

The team's opinion: You all know the Mesa Boogie brand for its amplifiers. The Dual Rectifier, the Mark series! Impossible to miss these references as their place in the rock landscape is important. But did you know that the Californian brand also manufactures high-end effects pedals? Now if ! We've been wanting to get a copy for a while and now it's done with this beautiful Grid Slammer. During the unboxing, we were seduced by its sober but devastating look. A black plate mounted on a water green box, with a beautiful glitter effect. If you are here thinking of obtaining Dual or Triple Rectifier sounds, you will have to turn to other references, friends! The Mesa Boogie Grid Slammer effect pedal is actually a tribute to the Rock sound of the 70s. Halfway between a Tubescreamer and an Sl Drive from Xotic but still with more gain (sound inspired by the MARK I) . At the beginning of the race we start with a rather soft Overdrive but ideal for a Clapton style blues/rock. From noon, we arrive in the territory of Gary Moore. As long as you adjust the Tone (which affects the gain!) you will find this typical fat sound! Finally, in the last quarter, on a guitar equipped with double coils you will find the sound of Randy Roads on Crazy Train! Of course, it is possible to use it as a boost on a Lead channel and obtain sharper sounds, ideal for a Hard Rock/Metal register. You know it by now, but at Effects Area we like to think outside the box when it comes to effects pedals. Rather than sticking with the classic Tubescreamer from Ibanez, try defining your sound with this type of reference.
