It is my bias opinion that Victoria Reverberato is the most important part of John's rig. And many other player's rig, for that matter! To me, the sweetness it adds to the signal is reminiscent of the same mojo provided by the original Maestro Echoplex EP2. Plug the Reverberato into the front of any amplifier and that amplifier simply sounds better. The sweetness, again to my ears, is more important to the signal than any other component. It seems to make the entirety of the sound more coherent and "like it is supposed to sound".

I received my lovingly made Tone Geek Valve Screamer Classic in the mail yesterday and even before unboxing I was impressed! The shipping box was signed and serialized #010 and included was a personalized note/user manual. Inside the box the pedal was secured with high grade bubble wrap, also serialized, followed by a black velvet case to store it when not in use - bonus! The casing and overall quality of unit and overall experience was beyond my expectation and I was very excited to plug in and play! I chose to play the ol' blackguard and with all the settings at noon, plugged the pedal right into my Victoria Sovereign (2x12 vintage Greenbacks) and fired it up! WOAH. The original signal was not muddied and the Sovereign's magic is still retained, harmonics are highlighted. I was thrilled! Instead of the usual having to buy fifteen Ibanzez pedals to sift through and find that ideal tone... I got it right out of the box from the Tone Geek TS10! The next play was to plug up my original Klon Centaur and let them add their combined sonic glory to the magic holy voice that is the Victoria Sovereign. Tone City! proof that it's real
