Pete Cornish will give you chapter and verse why they are shite and what they do in terms of tone suck when in a chain but switched off. Jester does basically the same, but about 4 times better. If you want Sloe Gin in a box, get a Jester. Completed builds: Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face,Tone Bender Professional Mk 3,Tone Bender 3-Knob,Baja BK Butler Tube Driver,Baja Real Tube Overdrive,Roger Mayer Octavia,EH Soul Preacher,Tech 21 XXL Distortion,MFOS Weird Sound Generator. If anyone wants mine, email me this is one of the staple Gilmour pedals, and it's still a very good pedal, yet I think they're crap compared to the Kingsley Jester, which is in another league. Congrats on the BK Butler Kev, it's one I'll never sell! I feel that it's easier to get the "violin" tone with that particular tube. The 12AU7 also tames a little of the spikey-ness of the JJ 12AX7. There is so much gain in these that you actually get a much more musical and usable range with the lower gain tube. Get a feel for the pedal with that tube but IMO I heard a DRAMATIC improvement in mine with a NOS JAN 12AU7. The tube inside appears to be a JJ ECC83 - is this a 12AX7? It arrived today!! I am looking at it now in my office - can't wait to get home and crank it up.
