OVERDRIVE- JANIS.LV EFFECTS ...Miesneieks OD ...a contempory classic

JANIS.LV EFFECTS MIESNEIEKS OD

$170.00 USD

Since 2009 a steady trickle of pedals has come from Latvia by Janis Altmanis. Since many reviewers talk about the guy in reverent tones as if he invented the Klon. I was surprised to find virtually nothing about the guy. He has a day job and a band and makes pedals to relax. They have always been sold through Reverb and there is always a handful of pedals to buy. The Miesneieks has always sold very well by word of mouth. It is a low to medium gain pedal. It is a very transparent pedal which responds beautifully to the dynamics of your touch. It is usually found in the hands of 

a Strat owner.

The layout is volume, gain, tone and a switch for added gain.

CONCLUSION

What is refreshing is the Janis sells it as an OD for a Strat. Only an artisan would sell a pedal this way. The marketers would want it to 

be a 'one size fits all'. If you play a Strat or even have Strat PU's 

in a different brand you ignore this pedal at your peril.
