OVERDRIVE- CORNELL Overdrive Special ...excellent old & very cool OD & still around

 CORNELL OVERDRIVE SPECIAL
$225.00 USD
These guys have been making amps and Pedals for years.

The first channel is a clean boost and the second is crunch.
You have a floor switch for Boost, a second for channel and the third is the on off.
a single switch is all you get for the tone.
It came originally in paint and later in chrome but appearances to in paint again are probably old stock. Used ones are not
hard to find.

It has very warm fat sound even the boost does not seem to dirty it very much.


$200.00 USD


CONCLUSION
The sound is excellent. It has a very rich and mellow 
singing tone with just touch of underlining grit.
It is a very saturated liquid sound. 
A  Dave Gilmore kind of thing.
If it works for you it will give you
a very identifiable and personal tone 
& we are all searching for that.
The price reasonable. It is very big pedal as it
has been around and unchanged for years.
It is what it is and I can not fault it but
it is too mellow for me ...and too damn big.
