Sorry for so many questions.

I was listening to the sample sounds of the Boss Fender pedals

FDR-1 and the 59 Bassman pedals.

Does anybody use either of these pedals with a Blues JR a GDEC. I wonder how it would sound with the Blues Jr?

I have the FDR-1 that I use with BJ. it is an amazing pedal that just reacts the same way to the picking dynamic like playing straight through the BJ. It is pricey, but worth every penny. I have spent 25 years trying to find "THE" overdrive pedal that reacts like a tube amp, and my search finally ended with the FDR-1.

Some folks look at these pedals from the wrong perspective, and A/B them with the real thing to find how close they sound. If you have an open mind and realize that nothing will sound like the real thing, you may appreciate them like I do. I must say that they are not for every one like a tube screamer is. Fender's overdrive tends to have more bass n' fuzziness tone in them, and some people don't like that. Like anything, always try before you buy !

If I ever see one them on sale--I'm checking it out.
I've played through old Fender amps--and they sound great--so I'd like to see how these compare.
