Barber 1/2 Gainer

After just having decided that I will cut-down the number of pedals I have and moving back to my smaller pedalboard here:
I have received a pleasant surprise from my wife as an anniversary gift in the form of a Barber 1/2 Gainer overdrive!
Barber Half Gainer
I must admit, that I haven’t used it in a live band situation. Nor have I tried it with a real guitar amp. What I did, though, is to try it out with the next best thing. As a front-end to Logic Express with it’s built-in guitar amp sim. It’s not the most ideal, but then, I have been craving to try it out 
Here’s a very short demo of:
1. Single-note with delay
2. Arpeggio with modulation
3. Straight-up rock-n-roll power-chords! Yeah
So far, I’m impressed. But, I will not pass judgment until I try it with a loud amp … hopefully soon!
Here’s the mp3:
Let me know what you think …

Great tone, brother! Surprised how warm it is. Thanks for the clips.

thanks. yeah it does sound a little warm. although it could be the amp setting or my guitar tone knob setting … unfortunately, by the time i realized that i should have recorded the dry guitar tone, i already changed my pickup/tone/volume settings.
