OVERDRIVE- BROWNE AMPLIFICATION Carbon V.2 ___ NEW ___ did the best get better?

 Browne  AMPLIFICATION 
CARBON
$180.00 USD
The most loved OD on the planet that you can actually buy new is the Analog Man King of Tone which is based from putting 2 Marshall BluesBreaker pedals in one box. Since then there are almost as many companies making a BluesBreaker as there are those making a Tube Screamer. Yes they all re-name it and many sell their pedal as being something 100% new but you get my point.
The reason this and many, many hot pedals are popular at the moment 
is they are 'transparent' meaning you can hear your guitar and amp rig almost as if you did not have a pedal turned on. Very few are very transparent so the term covers a broad range.
The layout is simple with just Level, Gain and Tone and V.2 has a toggle for cutting the highs. 
CONCLUSION ____ 
Do you want transparent? If this were any more
transparent it would be invisible. You get the great
stuff a good OD can do but for example if you play
a Strat the chime from your PU's ring like a damn bell. 
I have bought several so-called transparent Drives for 
twice the money and this makes them sound like total junk!!!!
Regular readers know I have 24. Yes 24 OD's all on my board. 
ALL are used just to cover a single gig. 
_____I use this 3 times more than the others.
