… wanted to try one for a while (to compare against my other B15 type offerings 👍🏻😞

I’d like to hear what you think. I had and loved this pedal for years but sold it before I got hold of the Grand Slampegg and Bassrig Fifteen so haven’t been able to compare. I’d be curious to try it again.

Just ordered a Tech 21 Oxford preamp/drive pedal from Reverb, to a price I couldn't resist.

 

I already own 2 Joyo Oxford Sound, bought the latest one recently, as a backup, cause it is a pretty essential part of my basic setup.

 

Got the Oxford used for what basically was little more than 2 Joyo clones from new.

 

I hope it doesn't sound too different from the Joyo though, one can hope even greater, and this one got a cab sim on/off switch, and I know it will be quiter and much more sturdily build.  

 

It is this little fella' :

So looks rather used, but I don't really mind, and says it works perfectly.

 

Let's face it though, the Tech 21 Oxford is not a pretty pedal, no matter wear, and the Joyo clone looks much cooler.

Not tried it yet lol, I’ll have a play over the weekend 👍🏻

… well I’ve tried it and it’ll knock off the Grizzly Bass on my fretted board for the moment. Not compared it to anything else, but like what I hear and how it makes the bass feel under the fingers. I actually don’t like that much cab sim applied (takes off too much high end), and like a bit of grit to the sound when mild gain applied. With the comp I’ve tried it with (Greer Lamplighter Optical comp) I think I actually prefer it with minimal or nil compression. Got other compressors to try with it though. Will be interesting to compare it to the Slampegg and Beta Mk 2 at some point (and the TC Spark and Mojo Mojo for less expensive variants!).

 

Glad I bought it thankfully 👍🏻
