OVERDRIVE- THERMION (Power Bolt Series) Power Drive___NEW ___ killer!!!

Thermion 

POWER DRIVE  Power Bolt Series

$150.00 USD

This company from Albacete Spain have been at it since 2012. 

Back then there wasn't an English site. I bought their MIAB and 

used it for a few years.

They only recently got into a few new pedals. It was worth the 

wait. The new line is just as well made but compact and cheap.

The layout is a nice simple Volume, Tone, Gain & a toggle to 

switch from a classic to a modern voice.

     CONCLUSION

These guys do not clone and their stuff is like Crazy 

Tube Circuits, always really well done and with 

small surprises that work. 

Saying this pedal is tube amp like is a cliche. BUT!

If nothing else it sounds like a pedal with a couple

of real 12AX7 tubes in it!!! Best of all it has a 

very organic grainy character that just grabs me!!!

OVERDRIVE- COLLATERAL FX P021 Parsec ___NEW ___ Greer Lightspeed clone

$150.00 USD

COLLATERAL FX

PARSEC  NATURAL OVERDRIVE 

A company from Brazil makes Greer Lightspeed clone.  

Just for the record the Greer is a Timmy v.1 pedal with tiny couple of mods. In short removing the Timmy 

Bass and Treble and putting in a standard tone control that primarily pushes some highs. 

This fixes the tone in the sweet spot of the Timmy . in short it us an idiot proof Timmy v.1 , LOL

But I digress. So the layout is virally a basic Volume, Tone & Gain. 

     CONCLUSION ___ 

In true Brazil fashion the Parsec is over built and under 

priced. It is built in a steel casing not a cheap & cheerful Hammond B box. the look is elegant,understated and 

looks high end. It sounds like the Greer except a bit

fatter and bit more bite.

Just buy the perfect v.1 Timmy clone. 

The Caline Pure Sky at $30.00 USD.

I love mine.

Joe Satriani & Steve Vai Tour ___ Toronto 2026

 JOE & STEVE 2026 ||| 

The 3rd guitarist is Canadian Pete Thorn who had to 

learn the tracks of both Steve and Joe's tunes. He is 

capable of being the second guitarist for either of them. 

No easy feat. The poor bastard plays a gig in Toronto 

Canada and the camera totally avoids him. A year 

ago the guy did a tribute to EVH as the only guitarist. 

That too is a near impossible task but he nailed it. 

The guy can shred and gets a few shots on some 

tunes but not one is on the video.  

 

.....The poor bastard just can't win.  

 

OVERDRIVE- MYTHOS PEDALS Erlking Overdrive V.2 ___NEW___ Nobels ODR-1 clone

$200.00 USD

MYTHOS PEDALS  

ERLKING O V E R D R I V E 

It is very true to the original except quieter and with an 

external Bass roll off to tighten the sound. 

The layout is Volume, Tone, Gain and a high pass filter.

     CONCLUSION ___

Mythos do a thing that make all their pedals have 

a very organic sound with a bit more breadth than 

the originals they borrow from. They shut down 

their factory but went back to small batches

handwired yet if anything lowered the prices 

down to something MXR would have.

 

OVEWEDRIVE- JAM PEDALS Tubedreamer MK2 ___NEW ___ dead classic or with bite!!

JAM PEDALS

Tubedreamer  MK.2

$260.00 USD

This is their second take on a Tube Screamer. The first was made 

20 years ago. It still uses a real TS 808 chip, a JRC4558 C. The 

new one is far more usable with giving you excellent tones in 

the low gain when using it as real transparent pedal or for a 

SRV type boost pedal.

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain with a toggle to change 

gain stages.

    CONCLUSION ___

Like the the first Jam you get a dead on ts sound 

but with a lower noise floor. With the higher gain 

it simply adds a few more good overtones & just 

a bit of bite giving it great definition. You get your grandads ts, quite literally but that but extra that 

was added on the board when it was recorded

on those old records.

FUZZ- AIRLINE Dirty Birdy ___NEW ___ why ask ???

Airline Dirty Birdy

It checks all the boxes of a gimmick & novelty item except 

not being overprice. There isn't any specs even hinted at.

It could be based on anything. 

$100.00 USD each

CONCLUSION___

The price suggests an OpAmp Fuzz. 

It appears that so far as we know 

all its beauty is just skin deep.  

WTF ... it is a case of buyer beware. 

FUZZ- BEARFOOT FX Artic White v.2 ___ NEW____ cool or cold?

 BearFoot 

Artic White .  4 knob V.2  

$190.00 USD

Designer Bjorn Juhl has made his own pedals but primarily licenses 

them to other builders but often not with exclusive rights so at any 

given time there can be as many as 3 brands making the same pedal. They use the same topography but usually different brands of parts. Bearfoot have been around the longest and make a better than 

adequate pedal at a reasonable price.  The unit is a silicon Fuzz very loosely in the Muff family but leaning into FuzzyDrive territory.

The layout is Volume, Treble, Gain and BIAS. 

     CONCLUSION . . . .

Version 2 has a BIAS control so you can get

more raspy and chunky sounds from it. Even 

faux germanium sounds. There are dozens 

of v.1 videos but only the one v.2. I hear 

nothing to bitch about but nothing exciting 

either.
