OVERDRIVE- BROWNE AMPLIFICATION Unit-13 ___NEW ___ massive sound!!!

BROWNE AMPLIFICATION

UNIT-13   

$360.00 USD

The company bring out a pedal about every 2 or more years quite simply because they are anal about as perfect a sound 

& feel as possible. Their pedals start like many with a classic then take it to a pedal that is miles from the original but with the same vibe but without a piece of lint to pick. They do 

not say but it just has to be 2 RATs in this box. 

      CONCLUSION __

They make the cleanest and most transparent of 

all Blues Breakers so I should not be surprised 

they have made the most massive of a RAT 

of all time. 

 

         

FUZZ- HARDWARE FIXATIONS Chern Yephe ___ NEW ___ toneless Muff ???

$100.00 USD

HARDWARE FIXATIONS

CHURN  YEHb · 

A Doom or Sludge treat. They have simply omitted EQ from the 

circuit of a late model Russian Big Muff. This results in the full 

range of the signal getting through with an equal amount of all 

frequencies. The layout is simply a single volume knob, 😇.

           CONCLUSION __

Something anyone can use if stacked on another Fuzz or 

especially an overdrive for a massive sound. The price 

is OK especially as only the Mr. Black Doom Stick is an 

equivalent & it is $140.00 and at the moment it is not

in production.

FUZZY DRIVE- CAVE PEDALS Pit Bull ___NEW ___ a pedal with a lotta bite!!! :-)

$120.00 USD

 

CAVE PITBULL || 

Angus makes 21 pedals all dead simple. A few do not even 

have a knob. Most come in a raw aluminum casing with a 

simple sticker. The Pitbull is vaguely Muff like with twin 

circuits in the box and a gate with trim pots to set it 

up to your rig. The layout is a Volume knob, 😇.

CONCLUSION 

  What's not to love. Just one big 

  overkilled biting (pun intended) sound

  and a price I can live with.

OVERDRIVE- KARDIAN C3H5N309 Nitroglycerin ...Vintage Tweed-in-a-Box

$250.00 USD

KarDian 

C3H5N309 ''Nitroglycerin" 

 

Early 50's Tweed-in-a-Box. MIJ with all the 

attention to detail with quality parts & build 

one tends to expect. 

The layout is Volume, Gain, Bass and Treble.  

      CONCLUSION __   

Small amp??? damn big sound with 

punch and balz to spare. Scary 

good and priced 

fair for what you get!!!  

 

FUZZ- DEAD AIR Ruin ___NEW ___ BOSS HM2 + Octave Fuzz

$145.00 USD

 DEAD AIR  R U I N · 

Putting a FOXX Tone Octave feature in a BOSS HM2 is not 

a stretch. Same ol' becomes new.

The layout is Attack/Gain, Volume, Texture unleashes the 

Octave effect and Color brings on the HM2 overdrive 

fixed at its most classic Death Metal sound .    

        · · · ·

 CONCLUSION 

What's not to like. A big balzy sound 

at a price that isn't too scary !!!  

 

OVERDRIVE- CONCRETE SOUND LAB Slab ___NEW ___ American Metal

$225.00 USD

CONCRETE SOUND LAB

SLAB ·  

It is meant to go from Low Gain to near Fuzz using a booster circuit to push it over the top.

The layout is Low, High and Gain and tone which seems to 

have a Low pass filter for heavy lows. A Boost control can be turned on by its own foot switch. Level controls all the output. 

     CONCLUSION __

It uses reassuring FET transistors that by nature are 

as tube as it gets & are used in many high end Amp-in- 

a-Box pedals. It is its own thing but borders on trying 

to be the $200 Peavey Rock Master but with more lows. 

    

FUZZ- VAN DIEMENS ANALOG AUDIO DISRUPTORS The Tarkine ...Vox ToneBender clone

V A N  D I E M E N S EFFECTS

THE TARKINE FUZZ

$300.00 USD

This is made in Tasmania Australia by Richard Turner. 

It is based on a VOX V828 and is variation of a Tone 

Bender designed and made by Sola Sound. The pedal 

is wired point to point on a phenolic board. It uses a 

NKT CV7007 and a SFT323 germanium transistor. 

The layout is Volume and Gain. 

     CONCLUSION ___ 

The V828 where only made for 2 years 

as VOX at the time had gone bankrupt.

It has a very open sound that borders 

on an Overdrive.

OVERDRIVE- OBSIDIAN AUDIO Death by Preamp Pedal ___NEW ___ High Gain do-it-all

$300.00 USD

OBSIDIAN AUDIO  

DEATH Preamp Pedal  

················································· 

The layout is Bass, Mids and Treble. A toggle lets you switch for using as a stand alone Preamp or going through the frontend of your amp. Another control is for Bright and still another is for Contour and it reshapes the Treble control. A smaller knob controls Depth and another adds Presence. It seems more complex than it is but the video is easy to follow.   

 

CONCLUSION ___  

It is definitely one size fits all simply because if it is in your head there is knob or more to find it in the pedal.  If your music and/or gear changes over the years this can dial in that change.
