Well well well. When somebody brings out an overdrive pedal that isn’t an overdrive pedal… //doesn’t// call it an amp in a box when it’s probably the best one we’ve heard to date… //and// charges a pretty penny to behold its charms, you can expect us to sit up.
This is the audio from our video of 17 Aug 2018 that you can watch here: https://youtu.be/y9aZ83_RVjE
So yes it’s complex.Yes it is amp like. And yes it’s an overdrive pedal for people whoo don’t like overdrive pedals. But is it the hands-down, bottom-up no-brainer purchase that we should all make? Nope. This puppy is dividing opinion good and proper.So what about us?Please enjoy the episode…
