Let me know your opinion on sound and build quality for these pedals? Prices seem quite high, for example the HT-DUAL is nearly as much as an HT-1 practice amp.
They do look good for recording DI'ed into a desk or live into a PA though.
Sound and Build Quality is good, but the problem is, I tried a Krank Distortius Maximus Pedal years ago and found the Blackstar pedal wanting, compared to it. You can hear the sonic and tonal difference...it's not quite as extreme and breaks up. For less metal saturation it does well. I prefer the amp sounds that I can get from the Blackstar itself, especially using the shape buttons. By the way I am a Blackstar dealer as well. Their HT Pedals are okay but I think they are about 40.00 too high.

Would agree on the price, for a Chinese made pedal but Blackstar have got it sown up (as you probably know 
)
Better be careful. There may be Blackstar spies about.

I'm not worried about it, Ive never been one to mince words, and if you want to do good in business, its a good idea to be able to recieve feedback. I tell my rep the same thing. I'm not afraid, if they want to live in a fantasy world where everything they are told is great and wonderful like a soothsayer, they are going to have a hard time with the likes of me.
