OVERDRIVE- CALINE CP-74 Red Action Replay ... BJF dyna Red Distortion clone

CALINE CP-74

Red Action replay · 

$45.00 USD eBay

A take on Bjorn Juhl's BJF Dyna Red Distortion, which is a MIAB. Better 

known by the Mad Professor version. Bjorn has licensed the pedal to 

others as well, Bear Foot and One Control. This sounds most like the 

Bear Foot v.1. The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble and Low/Mid boost. 

__

  CONCLUSION __

It's a classic and has recently as it always does every few 

years become hot again. It definitely has is own quirky 

vibe especially in those grainy low mids. I feel its 

best sound is with the Gain backed enough to go 

into a crunch that has a very appealing 

earthy tone.

...the Movall MP-319 Dynostaur is the same pedal but to my ears 

it has a bit more character.  

At $25.00 USD & free shipping On AliExpress WTF!!! I ordered one. 

It should arrive today. So I will soon let you know if your flexible 

friend stays in your wallet or not.

OVERDRIVE- PAST FX OG-2 ___ NEW ___ Boss SD-1 & SD-2 clone on steroids

PastFX  

OG-2

$210.00 USD

The BOSS SD-1 came out in 1978 and has been a bestseller since then. The idea from the beginning was a better Rat by combining  transistors to the Rat's OpAmp circuit. It was followed by the DS-2 

that added a fatter mid range. The OG-1 captures both.

The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain adding more gain with Clip 

then Bite & a mids control for the DS-2 like thing. A toggle gives 

you more highs or a unique low sound turns it into a modern High 

Gain Metal pedal.

__ CONCLUSION __

It covers a lot of ground tackling 4 different pedals and 

not dropping the ball on any of them. It is at its best 

when centered around its added modern 

Metal capability's. What's not to like!!!

CONCLUSION__ 

Unless you are into Shoegaze, making soundtracks for big budget Sci Fi movies or simple doing something totally avantgarde 

you do not need this. It is the Versailles 

Palace and what you need is nice condo 

in a Highrise.

...but WTF ...it is worth a listen.

ROCKABILLY BANDS ___ HIGH NOON ___ THE JETS

If you were not into Brian Setzer when these guys were also hot 

but into a new guy called Eddie Van Halen then you missed out 

on some just plain fun music. It is never too late to smile, 😇

FUZZ- SUNHAUS Ballam Dirt Fuzz ___NEW ___ a parachute!!! ...a downsizer too,

$170.00 USD

Sunhause 

Ballam Dirt Fuzz ·  

A one size fits all low gain silicon Fuzz probably based on a Muff. 

It has a Dave Gilmour vibe to it. The layout is Volume, Clean a 

toggle labeled Weight adds heavy but usable Lows.

       __ CONCLUSION __

It comes in 6 different colors,😇 

It is not only is a killer Fuzz but backed off all the way it 

is a killer boost. add more and it becomes a crazy good hardclipper Overdrive. 

Very few guys could not get through a gig with this as 

their only pedal. I can not think of another pedal better 

for a parachute than this one.

 

thefineprint

I can think of maybe 3 or four cheaper pedals you could get. 

But you would need all of them to do what this can do and do it better. 

....sold out everywhere!!!

Gain. A BIAS control is adjustable inside the casing to tighten 

the sound or add a bit of Velcro.

The layout is Volume, Gain and a Rotary switch lets you 

choose between 6 voices. A toggles brings in a Treble or Full boost for the first 3 voices and the last 3 has its own boosts.

It looks like some pedal for the cork sniffers 

and faux Jazz players, LOL The damn thing 

can tear your face off. It is not a clone but 

its own thing. Love it!!!

Note: This Pre came out as a box before a pedal. Same unit but just a different format.
