OVERDRIVE- LOLLYGAGGER Canaglia Overdrive....medium gain, an exquisite organic sound


 LOLLOYGAGER CANAGLIA OVERDRIVE 

$279.00 USD
The first think you notice is that the casing is wood.
In fact wood with a stunning look and finish.
Then the high end aluminum knobs finish the prestige look. You even get to choose one of several colours.

But how does it sound. It has a low guttural sound which sounds very organic and 'real' the harmonics and and highs are very, very rich and full of detail. It reminds me of a few low gain designer amps. The ones with the $3000.00 to $6000.00 price tags.
Stacking it into another OD may make it's magic rub off. By using it to overdrive a crunch sound on a good tube amp may be to die for.

The controls are not typical. It has Post, Gain and Pre.
This should mean you are boosting the signal both before and after the gain. The only other pedal that does this is the T. Jauernig Grisile King. It too has that organic thing but it has a very sweet tone instead of that low guttural thing. The only concern I have is  it does not have a good ol' level control to be able to create unity gain with your other pedals.

I love it. It reminds me of my Celmo Pimento Sardine pedal in that it has total personality
dare I say it has a soul?


CONCLUSION
The guys that buy this are out to please themselves. They are not trying to follow this years fashion. The pedal has incredible character. Other OD's do too but none have such a deep assertive tone.

This pedal is going to haunt me.
