Recently a friend asked me if I'd tried the Hermida Dover Drive. Embarrassingly, I realised that I'd had one here for the best part of a year but had yet to give it a go, so today was the day. My friend also wanted to know what the EPH-3 might be like in front of a Plexi as a sort of pre-slap-back, so I've thrown it into the mix as well.
The Plexi 100W is a model from the Axe-FX III, the current G.O.A.T. modeller, in my opinion. The machine's peripheral software is still in development but it's eminently useable and I'm just loving it.
And the Dover Drive - Killer! I never realised...
