Robben Ford Discussion

This is not intended as spam, but since a few people here are aware of, or even have the SOV-1 overdrive pedal (Robben has a couple), I thought some people might like to know that there is finally an SOV-2, battery operated pedal available. All I can really tell you about it right now is that it eats batteries, and the prototype I tried sounded even better than the SOV-1. I also know it's not gonna be cheap.

The company that makes it here in Japan is Pacifix Ltd., and while the designer is a friend of mine, I'm not affiliated with the company. However, if anyone would like to contact me about the pedal, I'd be happy to pass your inquiries along.

Again, sorry if this sounds like spam. David is welcome to delete this post if it is considered inappropriate.

Thanks for info Bill, is there any link to their site or sound samples on the net?
Also any info on Providence Sonic Drive 3 pedal will be appreciated – how it compares to SOV-2, etc.

Thanks a lot,
I’m really looking forward to hear some demos, especially from Garth.

I'll be sure to tell Garth Webber about it when he comes over tomorrow.

I'm one step ahead of you, I was off from school today and made sure everything was ready, I have an 18 watt Aracom Amp that is on loan to me from Jeff Aragaki, my Fender Concert Amp (the same model and year that Garth uses) is also ready, as for pedals my Zendrive is also ready, the guitars are tuned, my new H4 Zoom recorder has new batteries in it and is raring to go as with my video camera . But he is really coming over for a relaxing family Thanksgiving and I don't want to bother him too much. We will also begin working on his MySpace page (Garth Webber and Red Rooster Studios) which will be up soon.

Hi Phil,

you are one lucky person to be aquainted with Garth, and have him come to your home to play. He is a superb player/musician, and unbelievably not that well known to the masses. I hope a good time is had by all. I have sent you a PM.

Cheers,

DD
