The Return of a Legend - Bondi Del Mar Mkii | Secret Weapons Demo & Review

The Del Mar is a modern classic. There is no getting around its status as one of Bondi's crowning achievements and it's reputation as one of "those" pedals whose cost on Reverb skyrocketed following its discontinuation. But with the return of the mkii Del Mar we now see a new and improved design of this modern classic; one of the most well balanced, articulate, and versatile drive pedals I've ever played. I may even have to go so far as to call it my favorite overdrive I've ever played. So let's dig in.
