OVERDRIVE- NOAH SARK Distortion M ...cheap Japanese hand made Marshall Guv'nor

NOAH SARK DISTORTION "M"
$50.00 USD*
used
Cool idea. In Japan collecting old pedals is a mania so prices got stupid. Two young engineers figure they could get a few and try and capture the best ideas from all of them. So the pedals are not clones. Since it was price that got them started they wanted to make their pedals cheap. Even so they are hand made with quality Japanese parts.
Like many Japanese makers they are content to sell through the local market so they do not post a site. In short they are often impossible to track down. Some go out of business and after endless hunting I end up having to assume that.
My best guess is if new they sell for about $100.00 USD or less.
I only am reviewing this because I found a lot of used ones and they sell for about $50.00 USD.
They make more OD's with just an initial to to tip you off
"B" is Boogie, "T" is Tube Screamer etc.
So what do you get ?
Actually a nice Plexi of the Marshall Gov'nor wannabe genre.

CONCLUSION
Great pedals for chord work or a bit of riffing. A medium gain pedal with out much sustain but with a really warm, rich and generally pleasing tone. At $50.00 USD and well made it could be a real asset to scoop one up. BUT you better get on it as thousands will read this Post.
