FUZZ/OD- ATLD PEDALS Kush 2026 Green ___NEW ___ Fuzzy Drive

 ATD PEDALS  
 Kush 
$160.00 USD
When you use an old school Distortion topography and 
put in FET transistors or an OpAmp you get a Tube sound. 
Add in germanium or silicon clipping diodes and you get 
a Fuzz/Overdrive cross breed. It is nothing new but it all
literally doubles the possibilities. From Dublin Ireland we 
get just such a pedal. The layout is Gain,Volume, Treble
and Bass with a welcomed toggle with a high pass filter to tighten the sound. A Boost floor switch adds great punch. 
      CONCLUSION ⃟ 
It sounds like a good Fuzz stacked on 
to beef up a good OD. It is definitely 
worth a good look. If it fills a 
'I Need' spot? Go for it.

MY MONTHLY RANT
G-zed-F-king-k-rice!!! My Ride blew up and the mechanic said it would cost $4000 to fix!!! Even worse it has a full tank of gas so I got to tow it home to use on the next wrecking yard rebuild car I buy!!! The only good news is my neighbor said he will trade me his Tele for that tank of gas. 
 
TIME OUT 
As my alter ego mentioned my $6000 car needs $40O0 of work. In short it is a write off. 
I have a line on an ancient Honda from a trustworthy friend but they need to keep the car until late August. If their plans fall thru I will have to give it some serious thought. Bottom line though is no car for the whole Summer, I live in the city so I can use the bus for basics, but ....



 

     TOYS FOR THE OLDER BOYS                                                                                     Some old some new, all cool !!!


SHAEVLE IRON REVOLT 
Old man Suhr brought out the Suhr Riot pedal and it became a major go to for those that wanted a hot MIAB. Years later in 2009 his son convinced him it was out of date and needed more gain to be cool. So out came the Suhr Riot Reloaded. Too little too late as the Transparent OD boom hit so the Reloaded was dumped and the original returned. That boom is all but over and most guys want massive gain. 
If they want it from Suhr they will buy used or if they are smart like us they 
will buy this clone of the Reloaded. 
$20 on Amazon...I repeat $20!!!  ...Count me in!!!

OVERDRIVE- SHAEVLE Iron Revolt ___NEW ___Suhr Riot clone $20 ...not a typo

$20.00 USD
on AMAZON
SHAEVLE 
IRON REVOLT LSS-01 Distortion 
 
A classic Suhr Riot clone. The layout is Volume, Gain and 
Tone with a High and Low Boost. It has a gated tail for all 
you 'Chuggers', lol 
 
CONCLUSION __
Does it sound like the Riot? NO!!! It is heavier than the 
Riot. I really like it and it is certainly cheap enough to 
talk myself into blowing my budget, 😇
UPDATE: Suhr for a short time offered the Suhr Riot Reloaded.  
A very much fatter high gain version of the Riot. The Iron Revolt 
sounds near dead on, to that sound. 
Iron Revolt...starts @ 11:30

A QUICK COMPARISON- MXR Analog Delay vs. BOSS Digital Delay

 DIFFERENT BUT NOT BETTER 
The difference is best explained visually.

Think of your guitar signal/sound as a 3 foot wide piece of glass.
Analog is that same size of glass but tinted a bit dark. It is continuous 
but colored.  
Digital is that same size of glass but made of 3 pieces noticeably 
glued together. It is identical to the clear glass but not continuous 
so it uses a bit of analog glue. 

              _________________________________________________________________________________________________

APPLICATION
Analog tends to sound like a silhouette or shadow of your guitar sound. It seldom 
competes with your guitar for the listener's attention. It is fatter sounding too. 
Digital sounds like a twin, not an identical twin but a twin. Analog acts more as a 
frame with your guitar being the picture. Digital tends to compete with the guitar 
for attention. It works best when the 2 sounds are meant to be equally sharing 
the listeners attention. 
Neither is better and having both is justifiable.

OVERDRIVE- JADE ELECTRIC PEDALS J6 Dynamic Overdrive ___NEW ___original ???

$150.00 USD
JADE ELECTRIC PEDALS
 J-6 
The company's second pedal. The first was a take on the 
NOBELS ODR-1. This is meant to be an always on original 
transparent pedal. The layout is Level, Gain and Tone. 
             ___
           CONCLUSION ___
It sounds rather nondescript?  In short it
sounds like a Booster pedal. In my book 
it is Booster pedal with EQ. There are 
plenty of those. In fact the TC Electronic
Spark is $65.00 USD and it has both 
bass & treble.😇 

        

    thefineprint
This is a Caline Blue Sky ...a V.1 Timmy. I use it as my always on Booster by leaving the 
Treble and Bass scooped & just barely adding the gain. It is set and forget.  It makes your amp sound like you own a gourmet model. The lows are still there but tight and the highs are dead clean & very crisp. Similar to the Bright switch on a Fender Twin Reverb. Best of all it is $30.00 USD on AliExpress with Free shipping.
