 HIGH GAIN SHOOT OUT

BIT CRUSHER- CATALINBREAD Jimothy Bit Crush___NEW___ Limited Edition

 catalinbread

$175.00 USD

JIMOTHY BIT|CRUSH · 

A basic Bit Crusher and is on sale as a Limited Edition.

The layout is simply Degrade and Mix. No it is not based  

on some old classic because there isn't one, lol. 

         __ CONCLUSION __

They sound their best with a Fuzz stacked on 

them.  

The JHS Series 3 is as good & $100.00 USD.  

I would checkout the Sonicake Wave 

Crush $45.00 USD 

OVERDRIVE- PEDALBORN Raven Overdrive___NEW___ heavy but articulate?

 PEDALBoRN 

RAVEN O V E R D R I V E

$135.00 USD

Adding a clean sound to blend in with a Overdrive is not new 

but there are so few I can not even think of one. When it is 

done it has its own knob/pot to add it. This however uses a 

clean blend as its fixed voice. Most of the dirt is in the lower 

mids and lows which are heavily saturated and blended in. 

The result is a heavy sound with lots sustain and definition 

and clarity on every note. The layout is Volume, Gain 

Treble and Bass.

            CONCLUSIoN

This pedal is damn impressive. I can't even 

think of another truly similar. It is well made 

with a high end understated look. I can not

find even some lint to pick.  

...the video is well done and the reviewer is new so subscribe  

FUZZ, BOOST & OD- WARM AUDIO Dirty Boy Jr. Pedals___NEW ___ LEAK??? WTF!!!

WARM AUDIO    

DIRTY BOY Jr.   

$180.00 USD

Back in the 90's Poisons guitarist Blues Saraceno used Dirty Boy pedals. Oddly enough they were made for him by his father Alex. Soon players like John Frusciante, 

Neal Schon, Tom DeLonge and Phil X wanted them.

Sooo ..Alex went into business and over the years he produced 20 pedals. These 3 by Warm audio are distilled from taking the 'best of.' Back then handmade at $350.00 USD a pop they were loved but were hardly best sellers.  

____

At the moment Danny Gomez owns the brand but he too makes them one 

at a time, old school and on a prepaid order 

biz. So the Warm pedals are a licenced deal. 

 ____ 

CONCLUSION 

Well Warm Audio makes some very good sh@t but they do a fake leak for every new 

pedal. It takes as long as 3 months before I can get a good video of any single product. 

With one pedal on release day one chain of stores was selling the pedal for $125.00 

more than the price on the site WTF!!! 

When I pointed it out they gave me a hard time. To be fair I do not mention them 

as they not only apologized but put my name and Stomp Box Steals on their store site.  

These pedals all sound more the same than different. The Overdrive is the best of the lot. 

It does have some character.

That said ...WTF, I am not impressed!!! Mostly hype!!

 

 

OVERDRIVE- TECH 21 Double Drive ReIssue___NEW___ Marshall or VOX or whatever Rocks

 T E C H  21· N Y C 

 Double Drive · 

$225.00 USD

They have been making a version of this on then off 

again for 14 years. This is the 2026 version.

The layout is unique. You get Level and Tone but you 

get a Gain A that emulates a class A power amp like 

a VOX or another that is A/B that emulates a Fender 

or Marshall power amp sound.

           CONCLUSION__

Well adding both power amp sounds will in 

theory give you a blend of having 2 different brands/types of amps on. The truth is simply 

if you get a great sound who cares, LOL. 

It indeed checks a lot of boxes for many of us. 

Soooo... If so go for it!

OVERDRIVE- GREER AMPS Mori Drive___NEW___Klon & Tube Screamer in a blender

 Greer Amps 

 M O R I   D R I V E 

$360.00 USD

Yes it is a cross between a Tune Screamer and a Klon. Knowing roughly how they are both made I would say 

the clean boost in the Klon is what is added. It is what gives this pedal it's unusually good breadth. 

The layout is as expected Volume, Tone & Gain.

                  CONCLUSION __

I think it is a very good fresh 

approach to a better transparent 

type OD. It is more its own thing 

than a clone or a marketing gimmick.

I do think it is $100 over priced. 

OVERDRIVE- SUMMER SCHOOL ELECTRONICS Trash Panda // hard not to love :-)

$150.00 USD

Summer School Electronics

TRASH PANDA . 

It is very much an exaggerate Tube Screamer given more gain 

& like the BOSS SD-1 that also started life as a ts it gets some asymmetrical distortion. It takes the ts honk in the upper mid 

and exaggerates it into a cocked Wah sound.

The layout is of course the classic Volume, Tone and Gain.

          CONCLUSION __

I would not want to over use this sound but it 

does a good Mick Ronson cocked Wha that I 

used a in the late 60's.
