Dr Boogie
Hi
What is everyone's opinion on the Dr. Boogie DIY pedal?? I love the Rectifier tone but can't justify saving £1000 at 17 without a job. I'm just wondering your opinions as I might have a crack at building one  Thanks

General reviews say its good, however, from my experience, you simply can't replicate the feel and touch-sensitivity of a good amp through a pedal. So don't be going around expecting a bang-up replica.
The pedal might give you the level of gain of a rectifier, but it won't give you the rectifier sag that the Rectos are known for.

The sag is from the response time with the rectifier tube. It almost give it a compressed feel.
SS rectifiers do not have this.

Eh, I dunno about that. I guess in general that's true, but most people who own Rectos run it on the SS Rectifier setting.

^ that's what i'd have thought.
still the general point is good- i haven't tried it either, but from all accounts it's meant to be a killer pedal. If you go in expecting a killer pedal, it's probably worth a shot. If you go in expecting something which means you no longer need or want a killer high gain tube amp, you might be disappointed.
