I was contacted discreetly the other day by a person dealing in high end contraband after he was tipped off by Someone who shall remain anonymous.
the message read:
“Hey man, I have an almost brand new Noble if you’re still looking?”
“Moi? I am clean, I’ve no money, I’m not a user, how much is it (asking for a friend) well maybe just a taste, you make a valid argument, I’ll take it!!”
So after a 6 hour round trip that deprived my blonde haired blue eyed children of their piggy banks I am now a proud user of a Noble preamp.
I use all valve amps, what could this thing possibly bring to the table?
Well actually a lot!!
I’m shocked, I’m astounded, I’m agog and let’s face it who uses that word anymore?
I have been thinking about thinning the herd of valve amps I have and going clean, but I couldn’t quite get off the next fix of pure tube growl.
well, there’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Noble!
The stingray, the Wal, the modulus sound amazing through this pedal (is it a pedal or a box that fits on a pedal board?) with roundwound strings.
The star of the show though, the biggest fix of the last day or two has been the Musicman Cutlass with the (oh shite, did I say that out loud?) TI jazz flats…
It’s creamy, it’s rich, it sounds like my fingers are dribbling over the frets and leaving them purring!
This box/pedal/thing has bought the decision to a head and the tube amps are going to be culled, I’m giving up, going cold turkey.
well maybe not cold turkey while I have a Noble fix.
