OVERDRIVE- SHAEVLE Iron Revolt ___NEW ___Suhr Riot clone $20 ...not a typo

$20.00 USD
on AMAZON
SHAEVLE 
IRON REVOLT LSS-01 Distortion 
 
A classic Suhr Riot clone. The layout is Volume, Gain and 
Tone with a High and Low Boost. It has gated tail for all 
you 'Chuggers', lol 
 
CONCLUSION __
Does it sound like the Riot? NO!!! It is heavier than the 
Riot. I really like it and it is certainly cheap enough to 
talk myself into blowing my budget, 😇
Iron Revolt...starts @ 11:30

A QUICK COMPARISON- MXR Analog Delay vs. BOSS Digital Delay

 DIFFERENT BUT NOT BETTER 
The difference is best explained visually.

Think of your guitar signal/sound as a 3 foot wide piece of glass.
Analog is that same size of glass but tinted a bit dark. It is continuous 
but colored.  
Digital is that same size of glass but made of 3 pieces noticeably 
glued together. It is identical to the clear glass but not continuous 
so it uses a bit of analog glue. 

              _________________________________________________________________________________________________

APPLICATION
Analog tends to sound like a silhouette or shadow of your guitar sound. It seldom 
competes with your guitar for the listener's attention. It is fatter sounding too. 
Digital sounds like a twin, not an identical twin but a twin. Analog acts more as a 
frame with your guitar being the picture. Digital tends to compete with the guitar 
for attention. It works best when the 2 sounds are meant to be equally sharing 
the listeners attention. 
Neither is better and having both is justifiable.

ROTARY- DRAWMER PRINCE Eclipsa Rotary ___NEW ___very, very impressive !!!

$590.00 USD
DRAWMER PRINCE 
ECLIPSA .|| 
Rotary Cab Emulator  
>>>  >>>  >>>
Basically the Yamaha RA-200 3 way rotating
speaker cab in a box with every and all 
the bells and whistles.   

    CONCLUSION __
What's not to love except the price, LOL
  
                                              

OVERDRIVE- JADE ELECTRIC PEDALS J6 Dynamic Overdrive ___NEW ___original ???

$150.00 USD
JADE ELECTRIC PEDALS
 J-6 
The company's second pedal. The first was a take on the 
NOBELS ODR-1. This is meant to be an always on original 
transparent pedal. The layout is Level, Gain and Tone. 
             ___
           CONCLUSION ___
It sounds rather nondescript?  In short it
sounds like a Booster pedal. In my book 
it is Booster pedal with EQ. There are 
plenty of those. In fact the TC Electronic
Spark is $65.00 USD and it has both 
bass & treble.😇 

        

    thefineprint
This is a Caline Blue Sky ...a V.1 Timmy. I use it as my always on Booster by leaving the 
Treble and Bass scooped & just barely adding the gain. It is set and forget.  It makes your amp sound like you own a gourmet model. The lows are still there but tight and the highs are dead clean & very crisp. Similar to the Bright switch on a Fender Twin Reverb. Best of all it is $30.00 USD on AliExpress with Free shipping.

OVERDRIVE- ENDURING AUDIO Bad Luck___NEW ___ BOSS SD-1 clone

$120.00 USD
ENDURING AUDIO=>-  
 BAD LUCK 
A bumped up take on the BOSS SD-1 that uses LED clipping 
diodes instead of silicon to give the pedal more kick and gain.
The layout is Level, Tone and Gain but a Presence control is 
added to give it some sparkle and pushes out some nice 
overtones killing any mud when using darker sounds. 
      ___
            CONCLUSION ___
It is really a totally different animal. The original 
Boss was introduced to be an alternative to the 
Ibanez Tube Screamer. This is more than 
a boosting OD, this has some punch.

FUZZ- WREN & CUFF Tri-Pie 70 ...the game changer

WREN AND CUFF
TRI-PIE 70   
$200.00 USD
The Big Muff was a game changer. The one know known as the Triangle was the first of a long heritage of the Electro Harmonix Fuzz pedals that even this year we have the new Big Muff 2. In the first year the company could only stay afloat by economies. They bought the parts in bulk from whoever could supply them cheap. A Fuzz made on Monday had a different brand put in it by Friday. In short some sounded killer, some were just OK and a few were dogs. Wren & Cuff have been around since 2006 both repairing and refurbishing these pedals. They have been able to find the 'best off' designs and parts and make new clones that 
will not disappoint.
                  CONCLUSION __
This is the sound of the electric guitar on some
thousand or more records. Well made and not
overpriced and never goes out of date or is
ruled by fashion. 
.....In 1971 I took my Triangle Fuzz to the UK where I used it 
           for years & years & for hours every day thru my Plexi. 
                  This one says buy me???

   

FUZZ- CRAZY TUBE CIRCUITS Triptychon___NEW ___ killer Fuzz x 4 =

$350.00 USD
 crazytubecircuits 
tryptyichon  
Another CTC pedal that like the last 3 or 4 are flat out no competition killers. You get 3 Fuzz types in one pedal. A Fuzz Face, a Vox Tone 
Bender, a Tone Bender Mk 1.5 and Tone Bender Mk2. It also has 
both a Rangemaster Boost mode and an Octave mode. 
              ___
     CONCLUSION ___
Perhaps arguably not a perfect clone of every
cloned pedal you get what sounds like the 
deluxe version of the original that somehow
never got made until now.
