I know this is a prototype but it works great! So, it was a delight to try the Mayday and find that I can get a fantastic BM AC30 sound at very low volumes with your new Mayday and a treble booster. It’s been OK to use but I have preferred to use a Pathfinder 15 with a treble booster rather than suffer the “unsavoury” sound of the lowest setting of the PB100 just to prevent the neighbours complaining!
Although the PB100 is a fantastic attenuator (in my opinion) for gigging when it is set at 50% or more….but for playing on the lowest settings is not so good.Īt those levels the PB100 is kind of fizzy and lacks a lot of character. I use Marshall PB100 power brake attenuators with my AC30s. I had tried the old Mayhem pedal many years back, which was a great pedal…and also had a neat Deacy setting, so this new pedal was quite interesting to try out to hear what the differences might be.
I have been enjoying your Mayday pedal very much. When using the Vox AC30, keep its Normal Channel volume control at approx 1/4 and adjust the Mayday output level knob down to as low as you need for extra quiet playing.ģrd Sept 2015: Soundfiles and report from Mark:.When using the Pathfinder amp, adjust the Pathfinder volume right down low and keep the Mayday output level knob at the usual position (approx 9 or 10 o’clock).Mark recommends that to reduce overall volume level to a whisper using the TB Super>Mayday>Pathfinder combination and keep the rich distorted rock sound, it is necessary to do the opposite to when using a Vox AC30: (Pathfinder ‘Boost’ button was pushed IN on both ‘AC30’ and ‘Deacy’ settings)Įxtra quiet volume level playing for late at night etc: and I have more tour dates end of this year and next year so I will have more videos for you.’ And thanks, amazing pedals its a real pleasure to play with them, the managers and the team of the Artist loved the sound. But the Roland is very AC30-like with these pedals and I liked the sound very much. The Mayday and Treble Booster Touring gave me more gain that I expected with the Roland amp, but it was easier to control than with the Fender Twin Reverb – that is a hard amp to control I didn’t like it. And the sound was really great too!’ĩth Nov 2015: guitar cam video clip from Danny Rodd playing live using the Burns Red Special guitar > Treble Booster Touring > Mayday overdrive > Roland Jazz Chorus amp.ĭanny’s comments: ‘Hey Greg look at this, I used the Mayday through a Roland Jazz Chorus amp and the sound was great! The place was sold out, the artist that I played with, Camilo Sesto, is the son of a very famous Spanish artist. That legendary Brian May sound is there! With that combination! I really loved the sound!! ‘Hey Greg! How r u? Yesterday I played on the tour again, and I played through an Ac30, the Mayday and the TB Touring… And finally I tasted that flavour using the AC30… I really loved the sound.
