OVERDRIVE-LAWRENCE PETROSS DESIGN LPD Modern Classic ...DUMBLE ?

$185.00 USD
 LAWRENCE PETROSS DESIGN LPD MODERN CLASSIC 
 LPD are well known for taking  each year that Marshall produce a classic amp and quite literally make a pedal that put that sound in box. He has done this a 68 and 74 Pexi and a 87 JCM 800
In fact I own all three. They are all killer pedals. 
I make jokes with him that he should offer a 3 Pack. 
I would not part with any of them. They may only do one thing each but all 3 have nailed their goal.
If you had all them and compared them too some wonder Marshall pedal that covers them all you certainly be returning the 'wonder pedal'. lol
So this is not only a different pedal it is a pedal that covers a broad range. It tries to cover a Dumble to a Marshall?

First there is no such thing as a Dumble sound. Dumble makes every amp tailor made to fit every aspect of the buyers wants wishes and most important needs. 
You can not even buy one unless you agree to  spending 
considerable time working with Dumble to design 
and then modify and finally tweek the amp to your needs.
How can any Dumble amp sound like the last one.
However the LPD does give you all the sounds of players
that gravitate towards a Dumble. As a category they are usually 
players that have styles and prefer tones that thread their way 
back and through Jazz Fusion style Rock genres.


CONCLUSION
Well I was surprised. This pedal succeeds it's goal keeping all the clarity and transparency of the gendre. It has the best 'before' break up sound I have ever heard. It can whisper but it can scream as well as the best. Like all LPD peals it has tone, tone and more tone. A blend for some clean is definitely the crowning touch.
Listen to the clarity and definition.The lows have bite and are very tight but still fat! 

Will I get one. 
I think is more about when?
