OVERDRIVE- NADY TS-30 a nasty take on a Tube Screamer that sounds so wrong it sounds great!

$45.00 USD
 NADY TS-30 OVERDRIVE 
It started life as a Tube Screamer but somehow down the line it became a 
Turd Screamer. LOL
The only video is a shoot out with a TS-9 but
w.t.f.
Simple set up with gain, tone and level. 
Surprisingly the casing is metal.

I was working on a tune today I wrote with my bass player and at a break neck tempo the only pedal that worked was a $20.00 USD Dano FAB Overdrive.

This another little gem that is handy to have on 'board' for those type occasions. Pun intended. :-)



CONCLUSION
Nady make 5 pedals and Amazon has 4 in a bundle for $100.00 USD. I expect if you look around you can find one new for $30 or used for $20.
It has no resemblance at all to a ts9 so the vid is a joke. On the other hand thousands of OD pedals tart like as a ts because in the design the bulk of the sound comes from using a single chip. A bit of trial and error and you will get a dirt pedal. You just will not always get a Ibanez ts 'wannabe'.

But judged on its own merit the ts-30  could stacked it with a good OD you could get a great poor mans ProCo Rat sound. It can easily sub for a Fuzz. Sometimes I find I get totally P. off when something like an intro or bridge in a tune just doesn't cut . That is when the little cheapie and outrageous pedals come to the rescue. Ironically it would probably sound great stacked with a 'real' ts.
