Guitar Player: "Toolbox: Groovy Gear Under $500", August 2003:Guitar Player's Terry Buddingh wrote, "Don't expect Fuzz Face rasp or Tube Screamer grind; the Vintage channel is most effective at pummeling a reluctant tube amp into submission while retaining an uncompressed dynamic response and natural feel."

Buddingh continued to discuss the Vintage chanel, stating that its 1966 mode, "...is voiced perfectly for a Les Paul's neck pickup, and through a vintage Marshall half-stack, I was able to evoke some convincing Bluesbreaker-era Clapton tones. Switching to 1973 added just the right amount of fatness to the bridge pickup, and this setting also worked well with single-coils."

When commenting on the Modern channel, Buddingh stated, "The crystal-clear sounding Modern channel is handy when you need to increase the volume without altering the tone, and it provides another useful boosting option."

VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE: - New Gear Review, March 2003: Vintage Guitar writers Phil Feser and Bob Tekippe wrote a wonderful review in the March 2003 issue of Vintage Guitar magazine and the TMB even got placed onto the cover! Here are some quotes from the story, entitled, "LegendaryTones Time Machine Boost; Built like a tank, but sings like a bird..."

"We plugged the Time Machine in line between a Fender Esquire and a clean-sounding tube amp. The 'Modern' setting gave us a nicely-boosted signal with transparent harmonics that made the amp come alive, sort of like how a compressor lievens up the signal, but without affecting the dynamics of the signal like a compressor would. It sounded really nice."

"The '1966' mode offered up some of EC's famous treble-boost 'Bluesbreakers tone' that serves as the mode's inspiration, while the '1973' mode gave us a more midsy tone, with increased low-end response...Very sweet, and nice and fat!"

"Next we plugged the Time Machine in-line with a late-'70s Gibson SG going into an all-tube half stack set at moderate distortion. We then kicked in the 'Modern' boost mode, and our immediate reaction was, 'Wow!" The unit boosted the amp's natural distortion to a sweet, singing, harmonically complex sound that would please any pro."

To sum up Vintage Guitar writers wrote: "Overall, this pedal does an outstanding job in all modes, and is one of the most usable pedals we've tried. The trick is to experiment, but essentially, the Time Machine Boost will make any good amp sound great."

GUITAR WORLD - "Buzz Bin", February 2003: Editor Tom Beaujour selected the LegendaryTones Time Machine Boost for GW's "Buzz Bin" section after giving the TMB ample testing time during his band's rehearsal. In his article entitled, "Genie in a Pedal," Tom discusses his enlistment into a band that will perform David Bowie's 1973 album, "Aladdin Sane", in its entirety at a tribute show.

When discussing Mick Ronson's tone, Tom admitted, "I've been struggling to replicate Ronson's cutting, midrangey vintage tones on the legendary tracks like 'Watch the Man' and 'The Jean Genie'." Use of the the Time Machine Boost's vintage channel was the recipe he was apparently searching for. "Lo and behold, I found that I'd hit the tone jackpot - gobs of midrange and swaggering crunch with none of the character-masking 'refinements' that plague so many of today's overdrive and distortion pedals."

Beaujour also highlighted the modern channel and how it, "employs two JFETs to produce copious amounts of transparent clean boost that can be used when retro is not the way to go."

In the end, Beaujour goes back to the vintage channel summing it up, "...if you crave vintage treble boost, the Time Machine has the magic you're looking for."

Thanks for the kind review Tom! We're thrilled you enjoyed the Time Machine Boost!
