$185.00 USD

 GAMIN'3 MUSTARD POT 

A very small Belgium company that has the good sense to make a low to medium gain reminiscent of a lot small '50's amps that had a very warm sound. It is awesome for tunes that need a very warm mildly distorted tone. Fortunately it is not another faux Tweed or the next 'big deal' that is really just part of an endless stream of ts and Timmy boxes.

The Mustard Pot uses germanium transistors not found in OD's but in the very early Fuzz units. By the time OD were being made everyone were using silicon transistors and within a few years FET's. Germanium transistors have a very warm sound and a lot of character. It is very clever idea to revisit and repurpose them. This is v.2 which has more gain and does both a great low gain  and medium gain sounds. One very cool thing.
It is usable through its entire range. Unlike a Timmy or ts that has only one sweet spot.

The simplicity or the vid is genius. You hear 3 distinct and usable sounds .
No grandstanding no noodling.
You just give the vid a few play thru's and study the tone.

NICE!
Laid back, but earthy ...
