ACLAM GUITARS WINDMILLER PREAMP
In 1967 the only dirt pedals were Fuzz pedals this was long before any actual OD existed it was discovered that if you used the Grampian Reverb meant for vocals as a reverb for guitar it may not be a great for reverb but cranked it made a killer OD. Townsend used one.

Aclam are famous for nailing pre's there first Dr. Robert. It was by cloning the one from the the Vox UL730 from the first Vox transistor amps that the beatles used on their early recordings. This Pre won the company many 'Best Of' awards when it came out.
This is only the company's third pedal and even it was 'crowd sourced' for money to bring it out. The company is all about getting a pedal 'perfect' to the original which is not easy. Others will make knockoffs that will sound great but this is the 'Klon' not the 'Me Too'.
CONCLUSION
Like all Aclam's efforts this pedal is not just unique but sounds both unique and pleasing. It will do well enough to keep the company going but most players are looking to imitate tones that others have laid down recordings that are in styles they find pleasing.In short ..."Cool ...but not for me" :-)
