Been buying and trying out a bunch of different pedals lately, and decided not to keep these two:
Heavy Electronics Descend Pedal - Volume Reducer - Like a Reverse Boost - $110
Great for keeping your tube amp cranked to get your tone and then reducing the overall volume.
Never gigged with; only a couple months old; used just a handful of times at home. Comes with original box.
Here's info from the maker:
Simple and precise volume reduction with no muddy tone! Put your amp to work and use the Descend as a clean channel in a box. Stunningly useful in live performance.
All too often, guitarists find themselves unable to drive their amps into distortion and rely solely on pedals for distortion while limiting the amp as a clean(er) channel.
The Descend was made to reverse this issue and inspire single-channel amps to get cranked back up where they belong. The 6-way rotary VOLUME switch gives the user a consistent and calculated level drop, while the bypassable TONE knob ensures that the resulting signal can either be matched to the bypass tone or purposfully set apart.
When it comes to overdrive, we know guitarists dive in with time and money to find the perfect tube amp. Why not let those tubes go to work for a killer overdrive tone? Crank it up and let the Descend handle the clean(er) stuff.

Twin Clean Drive Pedal - GuitarFetsh - 2 Channel Clean Boost - $50
Used for less than a year - this model is actually a blem - the company accidentally printed the labels for gain and tone on the 6L6 side in reverse - but it works as it should and sounds great. Comes with box and manual.
Info from the company:
The Twin Clean Drive is designed to provide extra clean gain and body to a single channel tube amp- It is NOT a distortion box, and not really designed to boost an already distorted sound- It does what it does brilliantly... and offers two distinctly different types of guitar sound.
The "6L6" Channel offers the feel and response of a Blackface Twin.. Warm and sweet with a crisp, tight high end. Add some sparkle to your normal clean sound or add warmth, body and GIRTH. It'll get fat and round if you increase the gain...and can overdrive even the meekest of amps into a great loud dirty vintage amp.
The "EL-34' side gives you the bark and bite of a 60's Marshall amp- but again... we're talking pure clean drive here. All the dirt comes from your AMP, the pedal just provides the tube-tinged clean boost. The Master control is your overall gain setting- Tone is the typical "Cut" control to roll off high end- and the "Gain" knob modifies the CHARACTER of the gain- not the amount. It's like a presence control on Steroids and is essential to really driving your amp hard without any mud.
The 6L6 channel IS cascadable into the EL-34 channel for an infinite amount of possibilities- even a credible overdrive sound.
This is a professional quality pedal, with a completely steel enclosure- stainless steel hardware, THICK double sided high-quality PC boards, super high quality low noise components and a heavy duty footswitch.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, sells a pedal this good, this cool looking, this cool sounding for this kind of dough!
