CROTHER AUDIO|HOT CAKE OD

$260.00 USD

In 1976 Spit Enz drummer Paul Crowther who has always called New Zealand home decides no one made a good OD that was both transparent but could be pushed into a good crunch just shy of high  gain. So he designed it and it took off. He licenced the pedal a couple of times once to a Chinese company and later with a Japanese one but there were gaps of a few years here and there where they were not made or he made them intermittently now and then.  He made a couple of other drives. The Blueberry, the Prunes and Custard and the double Hot Cake. He is again making the Hot Cake but has added the Blueberry called Plus Cream you get by clicking a switch. There was also a switch inside the original that is now on the face of the pedal that give the pedal a bit more headroom.

CONCLUSION

It is great to once again be able to get a classic. Those made in the 70's show up for $600.00 ish as collectors scoop them up over the years. It is cool that ol' Paul is making them again.
