OVERDRIVE- DONNER Umbria Ruben Wan Signature Distortion ___NEW ___ Flatulence

⃣⃝ DONNER 

....no price yet published

UMBRIA  Ruben Wan Signature  

DISTORTION 

Ruben Won is a guy that makes uninspired insipid 

Pop music but can play a few Jazz clichés.

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. 

A toggle lets you choose either Rumble or Classic.

            CONCLUSION ___

This is one of the most mediocre OD'S 

I ever reviewed. It is dark and muddy 

without any highs and in the classic 

setting. In the other position it is thinner 

than a hair on your head, tinny even strident.

WTF were they thinking of!!! Sonic flatulence!!!!

OVERDRIVE- COLORTONE PEDALS Parasite 2026 ___NEW ___ V.3 if their MIAB

 COLORTONE PEDALS

P A R A S I T E

$200.00 USD

Nothing earth shattering. It is a one size does all. All though 

they mentioned Dumble in the same sentence as an OCD???? 

A Dumble amp uses the same topography as Marshalls JTM 45

That said it is not some painful replication of an exact amp like 

a JMP 50 or JCM 800 etc, etc. bur WTF. It is is impressive.

This is in effect version 4, V.1 was released in 2019, 😇 

The layout is Level, Gain, Treble and Bass with one toggle which emulates the resonance of basic single 12"cab or a 4x12 half stack. Another toggle brings on Brite which is typical of many Marshalls bright cap channel.

    CONCLUSION __

It is simply a damn good Brit OD and the cab

resonance thing is always welcomed but seldom

added. It has balz, that in my book puts it near 

the head of the pack. That said since you will

always ask. 

My recommended MIAB is the $200.00 USD

PedalPalFX PAL800 Gold Overdrive V.4. 

...if the house is on fire & you can just grab one pedal  😇

BITCRUSHER- JHS 3 SERIES Bit Crusher ___NEW ___ just a weird Fuzz ???

 JHS 3 SERIES |   

  B I T  C R U S H E R    

$100.00 USD

WTF is it??? ___Think of it like this. When 'Moving Picture' were 

invented it was just that. The camera took a constant stream of 

or individual pictures than when run past eye at a good speed & 

many or them created an illusion of movement. Digital takes 'bit' pictures. If you take or use too few and blend it with the guitars 

signal you get digital Distortion sounds. The tone is bright like a 

Silicon transistor Fuzz but gritty like a Germanium Fuzz. 

So think of it like a new kind 

of Fuzz. 

          CONCLUSION ___

Nothing new but modern tech makes it 

easy to control so the signal can be filtered 

in a out or shifted in pitch etc. etc, etc. So? 

It isn't ... All Shoegaze. 

WAR? ____ARE YOUR PEDALS AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER?

 INTERACT ATTACKS    

This is a need to know. There is a lot of info and 

...unfortunately not easy to take in.

FUZZ- HOLY ISLAND AUDIO Micro Mountain Mover___NEW___ just released today

 HOLY ISLAND AUDIO

$185.00 USD

 MICRO  MOUNTAIN    

 MOVER    

Handmade in Cardiff Wales. A board friendly 

version of a bigger one. It is a beefed up 

cross between a Big Muff and an octave Fuzz.

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. A toggle

scoops or pushes the mids.

     CONCLUSION __

A massive harsh and nasty sound. 

Not for the cork sniffers or the Klon 

worshippers, 

NOTE: There isn't a credible video of this so

I posted the full size model.

FUZZ- ELECTRO HARMONIX Satisfaction Plus ...Maestro Fuzz Tone clone

 electro-harmonix 

$100.00 USD

Satisfaction  PLUS

The Maestro Fuzz Tone was the first readily available manufactured 

Fuzz. It was thin, very nasal and lacked serious sustain. But it gave

you a radical change of tone at the click of a switch. I got one as a 

kid to go with my National tube amp with one knob and an 8 inch speaker and my Harmony Rocket single cut semi :-)

Probably the coolest Fuzz ever is the Tone Bender. It is a hot rodded Fuzz Tone, lol. But I digress. 

This is definitely a Fuzz Tone but with a couple of extras. The layout tells the story. You get Volume, Gain and Tone and a BIAS control. 

A toggle labeled Fat is a mids boost.

 

CONCLUSION___

If you play music that is deliberately garage

band kitsch this is heaven. 

The mods added do not mask the basic sound.  

😦 ...spend $25 more and buy the Tone Bender
