I loved the sound of the Bogner Red but didn't love how adjustable/tweakable it was so I sold it. Do any of the other Bogner pedals (that have less dials) have a similar sound? Or any other brands I should look at?
I don't think the sound is all that similar (haven't tried one), but people seem to like the Wessex for similar high gain applications. Some even say it sounds better (?) for some stuff.
I understand the OP's point. Maybe for space saving, or maybe some folks just like a simple pedals with 3 knobs. I don't think it is a bad thing to ask for the same sound as a large pedal but in a smaller, simpler format.
