OVERDRIVE- FIRE CUSTOM SHOP CARPE DIEM .... this plexi changes everything !!!!

FIRE CUSTOM SHOP
CARPE DIEM
(100 watt Plexi stack)

So just when I think I can not possibly find another mind blowing overdrive this shows up.
Go figure from Brazil too. Who would have thought.

Current price $280.00 USD

Now Wampler do make a pretty decent one and with countless more knobs and switches. The Wampler is nothing to be ashamed of. BUT...as they say in a horse race this wins by a nose.
In a word this has balls. The sound is definitely better then the Tech21 Hot -Rod Plexi by a lot. Unless of course you have the limited Edition Export model.
The 'thump' control which is simply a Marshall 4x12 speaker simulator is to die for.
It is a shame someone does not do a Marshall 4x12 simulator with controllable resonance. (for those that have not heard this)
 A: check the post and
 B: do not confuse this function with speaker simulators for recording...the difference is night and day!)
OK OK...I digress again!

So the Carpe Diem is a classic Plexi.
in this case I would say this is the 100 watt stack with the heavy lower mids...as in Hendrix style.
Yes children Uncle Paul says this thing hauls!!!

....finally when you get this pedal ...play it for your friends ....then say to them in a kind and soft voice 

"Eat your guts out!" "This one is mine!' "ALL MINE!!!!" then break out into a sardonic laugh. A small dance would not go a miss either.

So...'That Pedal Show' got this pedal from the manufacturer...and let us hear it....so ...orders go thru the roof but no one has any???
So Anderton's and others go chasing after it.
Fine but.
Fire Custom Shop really never exported. They soon learnt how to...and what to charge too.
In Brazil it sold for about $140.00 USD before this sudden exposure.

Yes...I know what you are thinking ...others have tried but...the leak was pre plugged.

"Ok" ...you say..."will you buy this pedal?"  you say.
and I say "that is the dumbest damn ass question I have ever heard in my whole life!!!!"
