The thing I love about your vids, is that you go back to the original by-passed sound often during your demo of the pedal. Most others play 2-3 clean chords and then 5 minutes of overdrive. By then, I've forgotten what the original tone was!
I pick one of these up recently in a trade - it's a serious od pedal. Believe the hype and if you need the front end of a tube amp skullf*cked this is the pedal to do it. HUGE amount of volume available and then the more button! Ouch
Great vid's and keep showing us that GMD's (gear of mass destruction)
I'm looking for an OD that kicks other pedals' ass gain wise. A demo with humbuckers would be nice to see just how much drive this thing actually has.
@KJansen00 Not really. Do you realize how little goes into a Fuzz, OD, or Boost pedal? There are only a small handful of components. The only real difference is buying in bulk reduces your cost. A cheap resistor is about $.05. An expensive resistor? You're not talking $5 a resistor.
@smoss469 Is there any reason why this overdrive sounds so much more like a tube amp's natural distortion? the volume, perhaps? Im about to just make this if i can get the circuit diagrams somewhere. 300 bones >< ouch
@ahpplejuc If he thinks it's similar to a Klon, there are a few places that offer kits, boards etc for it. Also a few places that sell pre-made clones for around $200 IIRC.
not bad! :)

I just played one of these in person and it's by far the most impressive overdrive I've ever had the pleasure of playing/hearing.

Truly one of the great ODs out there. Some more controls would be nice, but I guess that'd just mean more components to buggerise the sound.

A lack of a tone knob would make one thing it wouldn't have much in the ways of variety, but I'm impressed.
