OVERDRIVE- CAROLINE GUITAR COMPANY Haymaker ...a funky Bluesy pedal

CAROLINE GUITAR CO. HAYMAKER DYNAMIC DRIVE
$200.00 USD


It certainly is not trying to be Brit pedal or a classic American OD like Mesa Boogie pedal. Not much of the Tube Screamer to me it is too harsh it but there is something like it in there too.
It is it's own thing. by using a variety of very contrasting clipping diodes you get an unusually big assortment of sounds.
You could easily find at least, say, 3 radically different sounds. 
I suspect guys that have them pick a couple they like and actually hate the others.

If you are into a Blues or Americana type of thing it can pull out some really funky sounds reminiscent of a 50s era American made budget amp.












CONCLUSION
It is a really funky pedal. It has to much hash in it for me. Almost a bit like an unruly fuzz
but I do see it's appeal.
