OVERDRIVE- SONICAKE Cowboy Distortion ___NEW___ Dimebag Darrell-in-a-box????

  |SONICAKE COWBOY   D  I  S  T  O  R  T  I  O N
Yes it is a very high gain OD, lol. 
$40.00 USD
What I find very odd about it is for years all of the Sonicake mini pedals
 
were not only made for them by Mooer but they were simply Mooers own pedals with a different paint job, different graphics and the brand name changed. Big but? Mooer has never made a casing with 3 knobs placed 
in it horizontally over the pilot light. Except for that all else is 100% 
Mooer. Other brands place there pots, jacks etc. in different locations. 
Often not by much, but visible. 
The layout is Volume, Gain, Bass, Mids and Treble.
      CONCLUSION_
Most of the Sonicake mini pedals are black. The green 
with the yellow graphics is not only a nice change but 
the whole pedal looks much more up market. The pedal 
is very Fuzz like. Good ol' Dimebag frequently changed 
amps and pedals and on vids I watched they had the 
sound of a Marshall or an amp based on a Marshall. 
That said the Cowboy name suggests this pedal is a 
Randall RG100 HT-in-Box.  
In the end Dime is not playing you are. It lacks a bit 
of harmonic detail but it has a foot on the
pro ladder. Hardly versatile but for the really over the top sounds it pretty much has it nailed. 
Not bad, not bad at all!

On April 1/26 I got one during a 24 hour flash sale 
 of 30 units @ $27.00 USD each  while a timer was 
knocking off the seconds. 
It sounds its best set with the 2nd gain stage 
switched in & then dime the gain with 
a bit of a scoop, lol. It does not disappoint!!
