THE COMPANY
Cody fields in 2015 set up shop in Lyman South Carolina to make pedals for what is generally referred to as the Worship scene or Christian Music Industry. These days there are are indeed all genres in it. The whole thing is upbeat and free of cynicism with a live and let vibe.
Seth Morrison is the guitarist from the band Skillet. I will not digress into his career but only to say he has broad fan base of both those in the Christian Rock scene and those that are not. He is both a MESA and also PRS artist.

THE BOX
$150.00 USD
This pedal is a MESA Dual Rectifier Rev F-in-a-Box. You get an amp like layout of gain, 
presence, volume, treble, mids and bass.
The voicing is debatable that it is indeed that amp. It has however nailed  the most common modern Metal sound for the last 20 years.

CONCLUSION
The guy set out to nail a sound and he nailed it. 
The price is more than fair. Comparable pedals 
are a hundred more.

The fine print
The trouble is with my style in a single tune I can go from a Brian May, Dave Gilmour melodic approach thing to Robert Fripp insane rhythm and scales thing or even a bit of sluggish Doom. 
Hence my need for very different dirt pedals. LOL So my point is ..this cold be the  ultimate pedal for one maybe two songs. Because it is the ultimate I want it. Because I use 58 pedals to cover 31 songs then  WTF !!!
