The Red is the main part of my pedalboard at the moment, running into an AMT F-1 preamp (so it's effectively simulating a Fender Twin). What kind of "rock" are you talking about - 80s poodle-rock, or 80s Springsteen-esque rock?
Without the boost engaged, the Red cleans up pretty well with the guitar's volume even with the gain maxed out. There are a lot of settings on the toggle switches which reduce the gain levels too. I'd say the Red is by far the most versatile of the Ecstasy pedals.
More poodle than Springsteen! Sounds like red it is then!
I had a blue
Sold it after one rehearsal - stupid, stupid pedal
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
The pedal itself sounds great, and the combination of the Red and the AMT preamp reacts exactly as you'd expect from a valve rig. I'm in a position now where I'd happily gig without any glass bottles at all...I just can't be bothered buying a rack case for the power amp
20 hour shift....
just found it really hard to dial in a sound that was either no gain or way too much - there seemed to be no in between
The interface was really complicated too
The Red is very good for higher gain rock. Considering all the controls it's not very versatile just extremely tweakable within it's boundaries.
The Blue is nothing special and doesn't have all that much gain. The other thing to note is the boost is so loud as to be almost unusable into an amp with headroom even on minimum.
