OVERDRIVE- PHANTOM EVR sharp 3 Eno ___NEW ___ elegant & refined look & sound

$485.00 USD
 PHANTOM EVR 
 # 3  ENO 
Handmade in Japan with the best of everything without 
anything compromised. The layout is Volume, Gain, Treble, 
Bass, Level & Boost that is triggered with a second 
footswitch.
             CONCLUSION __
Elegant and refined in both looks and sound. But 
more so the idea than the sound. If I was going 
to spend big money I would go for the slightly 
cheaper $450.00 USD Vemuram Los Lunas.  
It picks up in gain where this leaves off.


OVERDRIVE- Himmelstrutz FETTO Nord+ ...16 years and still selling

$400.00 USD
 Himmelstrutz  
FETTO Nord+||
It is what was state of the art 16 years ago for a Brit Stack 
Amp-in-a-Box. The layout is Volume, Treble, Gain and Boost. 
It also has a Mid Boost on a toggle and another toggle for 
Presence.
      CONCLUSION __
Well it does sound very, very good but without 
some basic power chords and a few notes 
featuring what sustain it can do. I wouldn't ... 

FUZZ- St.George ARBETARN ... One knob Fuzz Face

$205.00 USD
 St. GEORGE 
 ARBETARN 
It is a good ol' classic germanium Fuzz Face.
the layout is ...damn I forgot!!!
   CONCLUSION __
It sounds very good. The price 
is not crazy for a germanium 
jobbie. That said I would get the 
2 knob, silicon version from Sonic 
Geek. Their Fuzzcat. The sound of 
$65.00 USD rings out loud and clear. 
 


OVERDRIVE- McColson Custom OYNX Distortion ___NEW___ a bit off the wall

McColson
$290.00 USD
       ONYX DISTORTION
This one comes from France from a small amp and 
pedal builder. The layout is Volume, Mids, Tone & 
Gain. A toggle gives you Voice. Voice appears to 
be more Gain. A second footswitch, Boost, gives 
it a fixed punch.
            CONCLUSION __
It is not a clone. It is an old school 
hardclipper Distortion. My ear tells me 
it has cleans mixed into the signal. The 
dirt sound in it has a germanium vibe.  
In fact it only compares to low gain Fuzz 
pedals. It is definitely its own thing so 
you love it or give it a pass.

OVERDRIVE- BOSS DS-1X Distortion ... a Slingshot Dragster !!!

 BOSS  
DS-1X Distortion
$175.00 USD
The original DS-1 has never been out of production and is BOSS's 
biggest selling distortion pedal that whole time.
Its best kept secret is it stated on the breadboard as a RAT pedal,😇. 
There have been 7 basic models and some of them have had a few versions. This came out in 2014.
This one was designed to fix all the problems of the previous 
models and to my ears the problems of those that followed.  
The secret is digital control. Digital is a dirty word. Worse 
still orange pedals are forbidden to be a bit pricey. 
        CONCLUSION __ 
It was nearly discontinued but it became the dirty
pleasure to those that have used their ears & even 
more so when in application. No fizz or buzz. Very 
fat but never muddy in the lows. It has great cut 
without being nasal or having nasty honk. 
It even sounds great at low gain.
