MI Audio Blues Pro

I have a fond story about this pedal and an amazingly kind gesture from Michael Ibrahim, its creator. I’ll tell it to you one day.

    Wow, that’s a great demo of the pedal. Excellent sound. You can really hear all nuances. Good work!!!

    Fantastic demonstration of the versatility of this pedal and its responsiveness when working off the guitar’s volume and various pickup options on the tele. Great playing, great recording & delectable sound!

    No, I couldn’t use it and I actually had the toggle removed by Michael Ibrahim after I pushed it in one day. Doh! So this is a custom job of sorts. 🙂

    what do you think about the Fuzz? Is it a useble feature? Thanks!

    Nope. A handbuilt 59 Bassman clone made here in Melbourne by Achillies Amplification. Full credits are at the end of the clip..

    then this pedal has it’s reservations made on my pedalboard 😀

  9. Burgerman666 on January 13th, 2011 8:18 am

    Yes! Perfect description of its capabilities, actually. Nice one. 🙂

    is this a good gain boost for a semi clean amp to get a ’60s-’70s rock tone like grand funk railroad, the who, the mighty led zepps, purple and other stars? by semi clean i mean blues junior, jtm45 kind of amps….;)

    James Reyne’s band. I was on tour.

    you must be in sydney if michael could catch a bus out to you… what band do you play in?

  13. colmonic on January 13th, 2011 10:27 am

    Haven’t got one yet. Santa got me socks again so I’ll have to wait and see….
    Like the look of the new tonebug OD now though. I’ll probably want something else tomorrow….

    I had Micheal Ibrahim remove the Fuzz toggle after I snapped one off one day. So this is a custom job – sort of! Thanks for watching. Have a great 2010. 🙂

    @colmonic in front of a high gain amp im not so sure, but you can drop the gain knob all the way down and it gives a nice clean boost. the only thing might be that the pedal drops a lot of tone, and even with the tone knob at the max the signal comes out fat. you might like it though, i love this thing and take it with me everywhere 🙂
    good demo, too. do you use the fuzz or overdrive setting?

  16. colmonic on January 13th, 2011 11:37 am

    Would this pedal be any good to use as a booster/tone shaper in front of a high gain amp? Can’t find any vids of anyone trying it like that. Or would it have a bit too much hair on it? Would I be better off with Maxon/Ibanez 808?

    Haha 100% agree dude!

  18. Burgerman666 on January 13th, 2011 12:44 pm

    Thanks, I’m pretty fond of it too. It’s pretty hard to beat a Tele; sounds great, super fast neck, unpretentious look, lightish – cool as f@#k. Every home should have one! 🙂

  19. noamhermon on January 13th, 2011 12:51 pm

    i love your guitar 😀

  20. Arttuonline on January 13th, 2011 1:21 pm

    great tone, awesome demo 😉

  21. Burgerman666 on January 13th, 2011 1:46 pm

    OK, I’m with you. Story: Michael Ibrahim went out of his way and caught a bus to my gig to replace a pedal that I’d buggered up – on the same day his warehouse was robbed entirely of its contents. Now that’s service! Serious props to Mr Ibrahim. 🙂

  22. Burgerman666 on January 13th, 2011 2:41 pm

    Ummm…not sure what you mean Paul. Gimme the time in min/sec and I’ll try and enlighten you..

  23. adrummer469 on January 13th, 2011 3:23 pm

    Arse Kickin demo as usual Burgs….i gots to know…the gesture?

  24. Burgerman666 on January 13th, 2011 3:31 pm

    Yep.

  25. surfco on January 13th, 2011 3:41 pm

    was that a 500k pot on the volume?

Got something to say?
