LOVEmyPEDAL

[Slowy]

The latest addition to my pedalboard is the ex Conway - Benderissimo, Lovepedal Les Lius. I've spent a couple of weeks with it now and it has proved instructional. It turns out to be the missing piece of my tone puzzle.

A useful image of my sounds occurred to me:
Start with a great clean tone and add washes of colour to tint the original sound. Like a watercolour painting as opposed to an oil. Not saying it's better or worse, it's just my thing.
( Actually, I love watercolour paintings too.) Timmy and Les Lius are definitely watercolour pedals. The DLS isn't but that's OK because it gives me some of the JTM45 character I fell in love with... which I can then colour.

The Les Lius replaced a Catalinbread Formula 5 which has gone to Jeremyb and I have high hopes it will work really well for him. It's an oil painting pedal; powerful and unsubtle but still versatile when you take time to learn its ways.

I'm totally in love with the Les Lius. I thought they sounded amazing on Youtube and the reality is even better. Thank you Ben & Conway; it was a roundabout journey but the Les Lius has finally arrived home.

I'm glad I managed to get another. It's the best sounding pedal I've tried for that kind of sound. One of the things I love about mine is that it gives an extremely convincing impression of how both my amps sound cranked, but at family/neighbour friendly volumes.

Did you get Rhett's? That is the later, ProGuitar version IIRC. Does it sound the same?

[Conway]

Awesome. And expressed with poetic beauty. A fairy tale ending.

[Pastasauce]

Fantastic.

Yes, yes and yes.

It's identical, aside from being a different colour.

Forget about the poetry, and play the real stuff...

I'm not lucky, but you're half right.
