I've had this pedal for quite awhile and until very recently had it stowed away in my gear parts closet. When went back to playing my original Roland Blues Cube 60 again I decided to bring it out to use with it not as an overdrive pedal but with a narrower very specific purpose.
Tonally the BC60 is patterned after a late '50s Tweed amp and it does that well despite it's analog SS design. But there are times I prefer the tonality of the '60s Blackface amps from my era. Set correctly to embellish the Blackface voicing of the pedal it gives me the equivalent of a dual channel amp with one Tweed voiced and the other Blackface voiced. I have to admit that for the price these are very handy little tone boxes.
I also have a Quilter US SuperBlock which can do much the same and throws in the Blonde era tonality as well but it's not able to be footswitched in and out so it's less practical for a live gig than using the American Sound in the signal chain. Anyone else using this one and if so how are you using it? Just looking for even more ideas for it.
