Gurus Doubledecker MkII

The Gurus Doubledecker MkII is a reduced version of the original, a beastly 4-footswitch, dual Marshall-in-a-box that alone would occupy half a pedalboard. This new version trims a bunch of functions overlooked by most players while keeping intact tone, two-channel configuration, and sculpting features. Sporting a real, high-voltage tube at…Click on the title for more
