This is new at Davis GMC - Friedman's Loud Box (List: $299). There's no hiding it's actually a British type overdrive that replicates the actual Smallbox amp voicings. Some would argue that it will never be a direct interpretation of the said amp as it is a pedal, not an amp. That's a valid perspective but equally valid is the acknowledgement that replication here is not about reproduction - the pedal is mimicking the actual amp in its own way, not the amp circuit's preamp + power amp way. In fact, this is the philosophy of all pedals in use; getting the amp tone without being one.
One of the very few people who managed to capture the Smallbox at its best is Pete Thorn.
