Sounds great! But if I may, why do they use 3 Monkeys or Redplate amps (which I am SURE are GREAT) instead of something for which I have a frame of reference? Like your bog standard pre/post Fender Deluxe Reverb or Tweed Deluxe or something more frightfully common? I never understood this on demos. But I don't understand A LOT so there's that...

I would love to Tchula...........alas, I don't own THAT pedal. I DO utilize the Tchula mode on my Lovepedal Les Lius and having had discussions on other forums.........these are not the same. If you are looking for a pedal that gives you 3 modes of tweed tone, the Les Lius does an exquisite job. The 3 modes are 1. Tweed Deluxe 2. Tweed Twin and 3. A combination of the two Tchula. (I believe the name Tchula is a town in Mississippi)

I , too have a Les Lius, and you are correct. The tchula mode on the LL is not like the stand-alone tchula.

For those unfamiliar with the Les Lius, it nails the tweed tone:






The stand-alone tchula is a modified COT (Church of Tone) circuit with a preset amount of drive/gain and a second, stackable gain stage with a bias control. To muddy the Mississippi waters further, Sean makes different batches (by colour) that all sound unique.

I have a red tchula, which is not the same as a gold or cream tchula.
