OVERDRIVE- HAMSTEAD SOUNDWORKS Odyssey Intergalactic Driver ...an everything dirt box???

 HAMSTEAD SOUNDWORKS ODYSSEY INTERGALACTIC DRIVER 


$255.00 USD

So what is it anyway?


-transparent (low gain) OD
-medium gain OD
-high gain OD
-Metal OD
-Fuzz
Did I miss any?

It has a 3 way EQ with a mid boost and 3 clipping circuits.  Oh yes ...it also has a high price tag.
Hamstead are yet another gourmet amp maker from Brit, that does a few pedals. In fact only two.

One must admit the tone is very rich and detailed. I find in the real world ...like at a gig no one has the time to kneel on the floor between songs to dial up a new sound having to move 3 switches and 5 knobs. Much better to have 5 pedals then one with 5 distinct sounds. Add to that most players will either only really like one or two.
On the plus side it has a very convincing amp like tone.The pedal is very versatile and it's ability to mimic other pedals shows you the depth of the circuit.
On the other hand I do not hear that 'one' sound from it to die for. I have a pedal with 11 controls ..I only use one BUT!
