OVERDRIVE- JAM PEDALS Tiny Amp Destroyer___NEW___ just released & sold out in minutes


$370.00 USD
JAM   PEDALS 
Tiny Amp Destroyer Distortion
__ X Stu Mackenzie Signature pedal
Stu Mackenzie is from the Australian band The King Lizard and the Lizard Wizard. He stacked 2 defunct Jam Pedals Boomster onto a small Pawn Shop amp to make an Album. This pedal captures that sound and adds a Treble booster as well. 
CONCLUSION __
It sounds good but is definitely a niche sound and like all Jam pedals pricy. Even so there are many guys who collect these pedals. The site crashed minutes after launch by being overloaded and now the pedal is already sold out, LOL ðŸ˜‡

      

OVERDRIVE/FUZZ- DOES IT DOOM Weedeater ... a niche classic 😇

$290.00 USD
does it doom 
 Weedeater 
A Morley JD-10 with a Green Russian Muff.
Doom and Sludge only, lol 😇
The layout is the OD has something acting 
as a Volume, Tone and Gain and all else is 
a mystery.  
   <> <> <>
     CONCLUSION __
It is a one size 'is'' all ....not fits all. 
Unpretentious and straight 
to the point.  
 

OVERDRIVE- PEAVEY Rock Master Pre ___NEW ___ clone of Peavey's own Tube Pre

PEAVEY 
 Rock Master   __GUITAR PREAMP
$200.00 USD
Back in the Hair Metal days Peavey brought this out as an 
amp but the vibe Pre of it was must have for the bands 
that the norm fit the day were Rack Mounts.
In spite of the jargon the pedal is still basically Gain, Level, 
Bass, Mids and Treble.
                         CONCLUSION __
The difference between the Tube Rack Pre and the 
pedal is the pedal has tighter lows.
It is 'the' sound of the 80's and 90's that has been 
over time morphed into even more extremes that 
are good too but not improved.
For me all pedals are like paint on a palette of an 
artist to be put on one's canvas. There are 
no dated colors only dated uses of those colors. 
This is the perfect pedal to make some new art.

CHORUS- SHAEVLE Jam Chorus ___NEW ___ BOSS/Jam Pedals clone

$25.00 USD
Amazon
 SHAEVLE
JamChoir  LSS-06
A basic BOSS CE-2 clone with a dash of Jam Pedals take on it. 
The layout is Depth the mix between the effect and your guitars 
normal sound and Speed, the number of sweeps the modulation 
makes over time. 
     CONCLUSION __
It has a very pleasing sound though the sound lacks 
breadth. In short a bit thin. Used for clean sounds 
it would not matter. As a fattener for solos it is 
less appealing. in short, robust build, Pro sounding 
and dead cheap.

OVERDRIVE- ACORN AMPLIFIERS Epstein Didn't Kill Himself ...Fuzz Face clone

$125.00 USD
ACORN
EPSTEIN DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF
In spite of the goofy high school humor this is worth a look. 
A basic 3 silicon transistor Fuzz Face. 
The Layout is Volume & Gain with a toggle to turn on or off N'T 😇 
       CONCLUSION ___
A very good take of the classic that we all should 
have. A great Fuzz for a guy that sees himself 
as an only Overdrive guy. it has OD like 
tightness and control but a just right grit.
The question is ...should you leave the toggle up? 
...or ?
      ...down?

OVERDRIVE/PRE- PEAVEY VTM Pre Amp ___NEW ___ rip your face off sounds

PEAVEY 
VTM  PREAMP
$200.00 USD
In 1987 Peavey brought out a Marshall derivative the Peavey VTM 60/120 watt amps. They had what one refers to today as the Jose mods. The sound is now considered harsh but it cut like rusty knife in a time when radio rock was full of Hard Rock tunes. 
The layout gives you Pre and Post with a normal Bass, Mids and Treble then you get a series of DIP switches to bring on the Jose mods.
           CONCLUSION ___ 
Before you think this is totally not your sound you might want to think of it is a fresh alternative of a sound to use where you would use a Fuzz either as a cool on your face or stacked on a more mellow Overdrive. I love it!!!

PREAMP- DOMINION ELECTRIC Filmotone___NEW ___from defunct movie film cameras

Dominion Electric EFFECTS COMPANY     
$250.00 USD
 Filmotone  CINE-PREAMP
A Canadian company with always a twist in the pedals 
they release has taken the recent trend towards looking 
for new sounds by converting now defunct analog tech 
used for film or broadcast.
The layout is simple Boost and Gain. An internal switch tightens the sound.
            CONCLUSION___ 
Oddly enough it has a very cranked Fender 
Twin with the bright switch on vibe. It could 
be magic on a dark amp. It may even be  
deadly as an always on pedal. Impressive, 
very impressive. 
 

OVERDRIVE- MORELAND MAGNETICS 202a Percolator ...not enough perks? 😇

 Moreland  
202A PERCOLATOR   
$200.00 USD
As the builder put it there are dozens of clones and all took a 
different take on the Interfax Harmonic Percolator. Basically 
the original was a guy that loved both Germanium and silicon 
sounds so he made a pedal that had both blended into one 
sound. You get the rich gtiy of the germanium but the cut & 
definition of the silicon. The layout is simple just Volume 
and Gain 
         CONCLUSION __ 
Others add features that move it into being a
different
 
sound. This sticks close to the original 
one trick pony but an impressive one, 😇.

Yes ......the electro harmonix  
EHX Percolator can dial in the originals 
tone and it is just $100.00 USD
