Description

The MACHINE HEAD reproduces the legendary tone of Ritchie Blackmore around 1972. Albums like “Fireball”, “Machine Head” and “Made In Japan” are still the reference for the ultimate Strat sound. Every experienced player knows how difficult it is to achieve such a sound with a Strat. But beware: The MACHINE HEAD is NOT a TREBLE BOOSTER! You could rather call it a “Ritchie in a Box”. It is connected directly in front of a clean amplifier. The pedal reacts like a good tube amp and it’s possible to control the overdrive from the guitar. Without any loss of treble or dynamics. The MACHINE HEAD can even replace a complete tube amp, that’s how good the response and dynamics are. Some of my customers and myself play it directly into an IR loader and then into a monitor! Convince yourself! It’s never been easier to sound like Ritchie Blackmore!
