OVERDRIVE-KMA MACHINES Logan Transcend OD ...versatile aggressive OD with an American voicing

 KMA MACHINES LOGAN TRANSCEND OD 
$225.00 USD

A German company makes a very American sounding OD.
It has an unusual controls. The standard level, Gain/drive. a bass and treble and a sweepable mid boost that is more like a wah type circuit, Often called a parked, cocked or fixed wah.
You can set the gain post or pre EQ.
KMA are famous for their twists and confusing turns. They have a very big following. In the end these pedals are a very high quality product. In short they sound good.

Unusual is the fact that the over all sound is more American then Brit. It has more of an amp with 6L6 tubes then EL84 power tubes.


CONCLUSION
It sounds damn good. Much tighter then your average  Plexi type sound. The pedal has excellent clarity and it has very good definition on the attack of the note.
A worthy choice if you are looking balzy gutsy aggressive sound.

Note: just for fun I set it up against the Origin Revival Drive Compact 
Damned if the Revival isn't noticeably better! 
but $385.00 USD ....OK who do I have to kill to get one !!!  LOL
