Incoming Kartakou Collosus

[Spaced Out Ace]

The only rack preamp they do is the Detonator, IIRC. But since the Bogner XTC is essentially a Hot Rodded Marshall with more bells and whistles I guess it can work.

R&R does, though. It's called the DP13.

I meant one of the pedals they make. Apparently though, you have to order them from Russia, which... no thanks. (I don't have an issue with Russia exactly, but rather international shipping in general seems a bit of a mess.)

Yup. That's exactly the reason I don't have a Beastbox. First you have to import it from Russia (330$ pedal + shipping + 25% VAT), and if anything goes wrong you have to:
a) Send it back to Russia and pay import taxes again after getting it repaired.
b) Get screwed because there are no schematics of his stuff and the pedals are entirely SMD. Good luck repairing them without the schematics.

Either way, they might do custom stuff (pedals), but the problem with shipping remains.

Yeah. I like some of the pedals even though it doesn't tell me what a lot of them are based on. I just wish they had American distributors like AMT.

Still have my Beastbox rack. There's only one other in existence and I haven't seen it yet. It's glorious into the return of my Origin 20 cranked.

Nice! I spoke with Vasili a few weeks ago and he seems to be working on an IR loader included version of the Beastbox. I'm really looking forward to that one.

A Beastbox or Kolossus?

 

[Gmork]

I really need to get a colossus already. Im sure it would sound good going through a mesa 50/50
but i wonder how itd compare to the real deal.

 

[sonoftheoldnorth]

The Colossus sounds great going into my Peavey 60/60. Interestingly though, I can dial the GSP1101 5150 model to sound indistinguishable from the Colossus. Like, when A/Bing, you actually can't tell the difference.

 

[op1e]

I heard that about the ENGL patch in the 1101 and the e530, but I much prefer the Beastbox. I used the e530 and the 5150 patch for years and they work, but tubes always feels better and reacts more in a way I prefer.
