OVERDRIVE- MAD PRO Little Green Wonder ___NEW ___ in fact released 5 minutes ago

M A D  P R O F E S S O R
LITTLE GREEN WONDER
$385.00 USD
Version one was about 20 years ago. Back then all the Mad pedals
 
were handmade. This one is too but that is because the new owners 
are putting every effort into bringing the company back into a leading 
role in the present. Recent new versions releases have been damn impressive.
I am sure this pedal 20 years ago started life from the topography 
of a Tube Screamer.
The layout is a simple Volume, Gain but the overall tone is fixed 
and we get Body which is in all probability a mids sweep boost. 
            ___
            CONCLUSION ___
Nothing wrong with this pedal. The pedal may be 
worth every penny but at a hundred less of the hard 
earned other little green wonders there are a lot of 
other little green choices.







thefineprint  
The company make many pedals and some are truly killer. Most of even those 
that are NOT handmade and are indeed cheaper or very, very much worth the 
price should get your intention. The Silver spring Reverb that Robben Ford has 
used for years is just perfect. The Sweet Honey should be checked out as well 
as the Royal Blue.

OVERDRIVE- TSAKALIS AUDIOWORKS AC Master ___NEW ___Vox AC30 & Rangemaster

Tsakalis Audioworks 
AC MASTER
Yes a serious Vox-in-a-Box with a Brian May
touch. A Rangemaster Treble Booster.
The layout is very Vox amp. You get Master, Normal Volume, Top Boost, Tone cut a high pass filter, then Treble and Bass. 
The Rangemaster Boost has Volume, Boost and 
Range. 
      CONCLUSION __
It is very impressive as a main Brit pedal.
In short, instead of a MIAB or, hell 
have both, LOL. 
 

OVERDRIVE- SUTTON INSTRUMENTS Igneus Overdrive ... old school original

SUTTON instruments
Igeneus 
$320.00 USD
It is an old school Overdrive where the builder does not clone another's pedal or try and voice it to be a particular Amp-in-a-Box.  
The layout is Volume, Gain Treble and Bass and Toggles 
for more gain or highs. A Boost side gives you Level 
and a toggle for a dark or bright voicing.
           CONCLUSION ___
I cannot fault it. It is very good. You love it 
or you move on. But hate it??? I don't think so. The knobs are labeled like a clock. Ideal, it should be the law, lol. I keep a ongoing record of all my settings using the clock thing. I have 70 pedals 
to record, lol. 
 

OVERDRIVE- ELECTRONIC AUDIO EXPERIMENTS Limelight ... Bluesbreaker clone w/extras

   ELECTRONIC AUDIO EXPERIMENTS  
LIMELIGHT * 
$250.00 USD
A Bluesbreaker clone designed for Punk band Touche Amore 
about 4 years ago.
Not so different than the Browne Amp Protein that uses a 
Nobels ODR-1 clone to act as its Boost side.
The layout is Volume, Tone, Gain and Boost. A Toggle acts 
as a low cut plus it adds sparkle and chime. 
            ___ 
     CONCLUSION ___
It sounds very good. I would prefer a smaller 
pedal even if it lost the Boost footswitch but 
WTF that is just me, lol.

DELAY- JHS PEDALS The Milkman ___RE-ISSUE ___a slap echo/boost

JHS PEDALS
MILKMAN Delay
$180.00 USD
Why would you want a pedal that only made one single echo??? I have to mention from the get go I have an old
Analog Delay that I use for just that. The big deal is not that it adds an earthy ambience to your sound. It does but the really big deal is it fattens!!! 
Yes it fattens your sound substantially. It also melts into your guitar sound when using dirt to the point you can put it through another Delay and it does not sound like a delay going through a Delay but just a fat guitar sound.
  
 
CONCLUSION __  
It is a nice enough pedal but most analog 
Delays will do the job. Not only that if you 
are only going to use it for a single repeat 
than do what I did and use a cheap 
mini pedal. Eight years ago I bought a 
Mighty Sound M5 Delay for $24.00 USD.

REVERB/TREMOLO- SOURCE AUDIO Pathways ___NEW ___ compact and complete

$350.00 USD

SOURCE AUDIO
PATHWAYS  REVERB & TREMOLO 
The quality of Source Audio is a given. They took the classic concept seen most in the old Fender amps of a Spring Reverb and a Tremolo effect and expanded having only Spring Reverb to include Hall, Plate, Regen, Tank then added an Echo and Slap Back. With Tremolo you 
get both Harmonic and Opto. You can store your sounds in 16 
memory banks.
      CONCLUSION ___
Everything is covered from all the timeless sounds 
used over the last 75 years. It is all in a good looking
compact enclosure. 

FUZZ- STRYMON Canoga Fuzz ___NEW ___analog Fuzz Face clone from King Digital

$200.00 USD
strymon
  CANOGA  
Yes folks an analog Fuzz Face from the the King of digital. 
Their site lays on the accolades of it with a trowel but it 
is just a 2 knob Gain and Level Fuzz Face, LOL. 
       ___
   CONCLUSION ___
Times are tough all over, LOL. Nothing wrong 
with it as good as most but so are Chinese 
budget Fuzz pedals at $50 plus or minus 
a few dollars.


thefineprint 
A Fuzz Face is a modified Tonebender Mk1.5 ...If you get crazy  about heritage the Joyo 
appears to be a Tone Bender Mk4. but its all the same family. I own the Joyo. 
The Joyo is $40.00 USD ...Do I need to say more???
