OVERDRIVE- SKREDDY Skunk Drive Model 1606__NEW__Supro/National Amp-in-a-Box

SKEDDY PEDALS 
SKUNK DRIVE MODEL 1606
$215.00 USD
Marc Ahlfs and the Skeddy team have been around for years. Usually
cloning old classic Fuzz pedals. Even specific models only produced over a few month's in a specific year were reproduced until NOS parts were virtually totally unattainable. 
I am sure it has been a few years without something new. In this case we get an Amp-in-a-Box taken from capturing the sound of the 50's small amps. Most of these amps were from several small companies never too far from if not in Chicago. One by one they failed or amalgamated until we pretty much only had National, Valco, & Supro. 
CONCLUSION ____
Used more as boost set low does remind me of my first amp. A National/ Valco 1210. Pushed it gets very Fuzz like gritty but still keeps a tube vibe. How usefull it is for most guys thing is obvious. It does however sound killer and nails a fat, chunky old tube vibe just dying to make some fresh new music with.
