Seems the special edition bVs that were built for Kiyotsugu Amano (http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/ki-amano/ - www.myspace.com/kiamano) were well received. 

The bV Overdrive is a smoothly voiced OD with plenty of gain, plenty of lows.  Newly badged bV ODs will be arriving @ Tone Blue (www.toneblue.com) later this spring – stay tuned for more info.

Tomo Fujita is a celebrated, funky blues guitarist.  He teaches at Berklee College of Music in Boston as well as recording/touring with his own music.  Not only does Tomo san dig the 19 Sixty 3, he loves Ibanez TS10 Overdrive pedals – these were made by Maxon in the mid/late 80s for Ibanez and can only be had on the used market today. 

Over the past 2 or 3 years GtrWrks has repaired and in some cases made slight modifications to old TS10s that he’s scored.  The TS10 (and 10 series in general) were considered by some to be more cheaply made than the previous 9 series effects – that said, the TS10 is a great sounding overdrive – sweet ‘clean’ driven tones with a tight low end and smooth attack.
