Catalinbread Super Charged Overdrive Pedal w/Les Paul and Crate Powerblock.

Mids, nice to hear from you again! It's time to spread out and take up some sonic real estate with the Super Charged Overdrive from Catalinbread. This is not really an overdrive pedal, but more of a distortion device. It does the "volume up, gain down" OD thing very well as there is plenty of volume available to push your amp into overdrive allowing you to monkey around with the Contour knob, sculpting your upper and lower mids. To my ear Contour to the left removes the upper mids / adds low mids while dialing it to the right removes low mids / adds upper mids, allowing for a nice presence and edge to the tone.

This pedal delivers live and won't let you disappear in the mix and also records very well.

Mic'd with a MXL 990 condenser. Shot with a Sony DSC-HX5V and edited with Pinnacle Studio 11.1.

The volume difference that kicks in around 2:15 is due to rolling back on the guitar's volume knob. Doesn't really clean up, but rather takes some of the "bulk" out of the tone. A very versatile, mid to high gain dirtbox.

not really diggin it.. it's been a toss up between this and the Mad Prof Stone Grey... I think the grey wins
