Overall Excellent Condition. Looks, Works, and Sounds Awesome!!
Enter the Grid Slammer—a straightforward, low-gain overdrive pedal that promises to uphold Mesa's tone-rich legacy.
Although Mesa/Boogie has engineered pedals before, like the iconic valve-powered V-Twin, the release of a quartet of 'normal' stompboxes into the already saturated pedal market might seem audacious. But with over 40 years of legacy creating some of the most revered distortion tones, they’re well-equipped for the task.
Key Features:
Robust Design and Build
Sturdy Metal Chassis: The pedals share a solid, metal enclosure, a bit taller than the standard MXR-style box, yet built with impeccable precision.
Durable Components: All jacks and pots are securely mounted to the chassis, although battery access requires the removal of four screws.
Power Options: Requires a 9V battery or AC adapter, drawing slightly higher current at 15mA.
Simple, Effective Controls
Gain and Level Controls: Balance your drive and overall volume effortlessly.
Tone Control: Offers global EQ adjustments, allowing for darker or brighter sounds based on your preference.
Sound and Tone
The Grid Slammer excels in straightforward, low-gain overdrive, making it perfect for those seeking a pure, unfussy tone enhancer. Whether driving your amp further into distortion or using it with a clean setup, this pedal adapts to your rig seamlessly.
Pushing Overdriving Amps: Designed to push already overdriving amps into richer distortion and compression. The Grid Slammer’s inherent mid-frequency hump adds drive and punch, perfect for solo boosts, harmonics, sustain, and chewy, rich rhythm tones.
Clean Amp Performance: Even into high-headroom clean amps, the Grid Slammer provides enough drive for blues and lighter rock, with dynamic control available at your fingertips.
Versatile Midrange Boost: Great for fattening Strats and Teles, while offering extra chewy harmonic overtones for Les Pauls, 335s, and similar guitars.
Conclusion
The Mesa/Boogie Grid Slammer Overdrive is a testament to Mesa’s dedication to superior tone. Whether you’re a gigging musician or a tone purist, this pedal offers simplicity and high-quality sound, perfect for enhancing your rig without the fuss. Experience the low-gain overdrive that only Mesa could deliver and discover why this pedal is making waves in the crowded stompbox market.
