The pedal is housed in a sturdy chassis featuring a sub-miniature NOS 6112 tube, true bypass switching, stage ready led and 12V adapter powering. The Fire Bottle is essentially a pedal-sized vintage tube amp input stage designed to boost your cleans or, when driven hard, push your tube amp into creamy overdrive. Once I got to know it though, I fell in love. It’s much more than that and it really forces you to rethink the whole concept of tone and what it is that makes up a good tone. It took me some time to realize that this is not just another booster. I must admit, I did have a hard time figuring out the Fire Bottle. It’s down to the basics and the pure tone. In my opinion, only a booster or overdrive would do just that. My desert island pedal would have to be one that could make my guitar and amp sound better – like I was using several amazing sounding pedals. It’s also about finding the pedal, or pedals, that will do the job then and there and that also makes a perfect match for your guitar and amp. What is the perfect pedal? Well, it’s a very subjective opinion and what might work for me, might be very wrong for you. I might have found it in the Fire Bottle from Effectrode. I think mine would have to be one that’s as versatile, yet basic, as possible. If you had to choose only one pedal, what would it be and why? I guess we all asked ourselves that question and it’s for sure not an easy one.
