ALL ‘BIG’ SHOOTOUTS
You should really add the new Pike Vulcan XL to the list.
Wow! I hadn’t heard of them before, but looks very interesting. Duly noted and on the wish list!
Please, Please, Please test the EBS ValveDrive DI in comparison with other Preamps!
Please …
Thanks a lot!

Hi JR,
I have that on the wish list – along with the Micro Bass II (and a bunch of other pedals from EBS). I will try to get my hands on them, but can’t make any promises on how fast. Eventually, I am sure I will find both of them. Please check in once in a while or subscribe to the newsletter so you won’t miss out when it happens
