OVERDRIVE-MYTHOS Erlking ...a transparent clean sound that is surprisingly huge!

 MYTHOS ERLKING 

$199.00 USD

So what's the big deal about this. Just another Tube Screamer? ..
Maybe. BUT.

A Tube Screamer made by anyone can NEVER give you an absolutely HUGE sound!!!
Can it???

Supposedly  based on the Nobels ODR-1 ....the Nobels was based on a Tube Screamer....







In Zach Broyles hands it has gone from the very ordinary to the exquisite.
I have owned 3 different TS pedals and ended up hating them all.
They all got 'Reverb-ed' LOL

With the Erking you can dial it up to give you a quasi Tube Screamer like tone.
BUT if you want a HUGE rich sumptuous and beautiful airy sound it can do that too.
In fact it does it BIG TIME!!!!
In short it is a total chameleon!

In comparison the Nobels seems overtly aggressive.
Mythos need not show their inspiration.
They have an original pedal. It is a damn good one too!!!

It can create a very etheral, mellow but clear and transparent tone especially ideal for accompanying a vocal.

There are legions that think that the Tube Screamer is 'KING'. No problem! buy this and own  two great but DIFFERENT sounding pedals!!!

Mythos is small Nashville company with Zach Broyles and his wife making the pedals. The pedal is exquisitely hand made without compromise on any of the parts.

Rob Chapman of Chapman guitars was so impressed he bought half the pedals that they offer.

JUST WHEN I THINK I HAVE HEARD IT ALL  

I am very impressed I can not think of any pedal this big sounding that has such a rich soft sound without it being weak and insubstantial . 

A Mammoth sound that is light as a cloud.

I have only had it 2 days. The video shows it off well. I do have the advantage playing it and both seeing how good it is too my touch and getting real world listen. I would say it is actually fuller sounding then the video. It is not an aggressive pedal and it seems even more laid back thru my rig. It has no annoying artifacts or overtones. The tone is as smooth as glass and as soft as velvet.

 One final thing. The fit and finish is simply stellar. If you are familiar with a Catalinbread box  

you will have a good idea. The artwork has been well thought out and executed.

MYTHOS SEEMS TO BE ALL ABOUT ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!
And that is evident both on inside parts and the outside appearance.

A WINNER!!!!
