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.
