OVERDRIVE- LUNASTONE TrueOverdrive 1/ TrueOverdrive 2 ....excellent transparent tone

LUNATONE TRUEOVERDRIVE 1 
& TRUEOVERDRIVE 2

Both these pedals are very transparent. The 1 is neutral across the entire range where as the 2 has more gain and a very heavy low end. They both sound excellent.
If you love the clean sound of your amp you may really love the neutral sound they impart. I especially think either could act as Tube Screamer type boost but without the ts sound overlaying your sound with it's less then stellar and overused sound.

$100.00 USD

For some players that lean towards a Jazz or modern Fusion type vibe that have a really great single channel tube amp ...one or even both these pedals used as more channels could be all you need. Maybe add a compressor like the CKK Gears Compressor and your basic sound is beautifully not only covered but detailed.
The Gears Comp is very transparent with just a hint of a light sweet ambiance added.


CODA
This is the very best of any transparent pedals I have ever heard. All others either sound artificial or have very annoying anomalies in the sound. The coveted Zendrive and it's countless copies, clones and 'Me Too's' are all a case in point ...they sound artificial and worse yet have little in the way of sustain let alone such a smooth sustain without a trace of fizz.
The best of the others need to move into a noticeable Brit medium gain amp sound to even perform with any grace. Hell even the price is reasonable.
Finally they perform as well laid back as they do if you need some punch and aggression in your tone and without any adolescent 'look at me' vibe.

Definitely the best value for money. If not just simply ...THE BEST!!!
