I bought the new BBE AM-64 today at GC. There is no info on BBE's site, or the GC site, but it was advertised in the August GC flyer. I believe these are only available at GC.

$39 for just the pedal. No PS included :( Still though, not a bad deal for a well made distortion pedal. Typical BBE build quality: nice quality PCB, heavy duty enclosure, sturdy stop switch. It also had plastic knobs which I like better than the metal dome knobs on the pervious pedals. It does have true bypass, FWIW.

It sounded pretty good in the store, but when I got it home, meh, not so good. I ended up taking it back. It sounds kind of like either a Boss DS-1 but a bit more saturated. Maybe a bit like a Rat?

Here is a link to some d-bag on Craigslist trying to rip someone off:

$100? Craigslist. :whatever:

I like the racing stripe graphics, though.
