Mesa Engineering is famous for the Boogie branded Mark series amps as well as the massive sound of the Rectifier series. The company has also recently released several pedals to compliment the various amplifiers they produce.This is not Mesa's first foray into the pedal market. In the 1990's and early 2000's Mesa released two tube driven pedals. The well known V-twin preamp pedal and the little brother and lesser known Bottle Rocket overdrive.
The V-1 Bottle Rocket is driven by two 12AX7 preamp tubes that create a wide range of overdrive and distortion tones. This pedal is quite different than the high gain tones of the Mark series amps and crushing distortion of the Rectifier series. This pedal thrives in the low to medium gain blues, rock, and classic heavy rock tones.
Below is a quick demo of the Bottle Rocket being run through a Fender Blues Jr.
Enjoy
