OVERDRIVE- BOLT & FORGE Bad Hoss Harmonic Sustainer ___ NEW ___ an original?

BOLT&FORGE 
BAD HOSS HARMONIC SUSTAINER
$250.00 USD
At its roots this is a JFET OD which means it will have a tube sounding vibe. It blends in a high gain circuit with a low one and perhaps even some clean boost to give you a transparent tone when either set at low or high gain. The beauty of this is unlike most pedals cleaner sounds do not force you to live with little or even all but no sustain. You also get good definition throughout the pedals whole range. Chords notes spring out they do not mush together.
The layout gives you Volume, Gain and Tone. A toggle allows you to scoop mids and another kicks in a second gain stage.
CONCLUSION ___
They achieve their goal. It does all it claims. It does however give you 
it's own original sound. It is not a clone of a famous amps tone. It is refreshingly unique enough to give the daring their 'own sound'.
I find it different than any sound I have and I try and have at least 
one amp-in-a-box of every real amp, including, Laney, Orange and 
SUNN as well as the obvious Dual/Rec, Marshall, Peavey, etc.
It has a warm grit that gives you good definition without having 
to use a biting metallic like thing. The low mids are fat but
never get muddy. It is kind of like the combination of a Muff
Rams Head Fuzz blended with a Brit amp and well stirred, lol.
Dead impressive pedal. Worthy of my short list 😉
