OVERDRIVE- GUPTECH Trou D'Biege TB Drive _NEW _Hot Cake ___mini/clone

GUPTECH

Trou D'biege YB Drive

$130.00 USD
This is a mini version of their best seller the Donut. Both are clones of
the famous Crowther Hot Cake that came out in 1976 and is still

made.
The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain

I always wanted a the Crowther Hot Cake but there is a waiting list

of about 6 months. The guy that made is about 70 something. He admits it has always been more or less a hobby so you are waiting

for him to be in a making pedals mood, 😇. Add to that he ships fully insured fast delivery so your shipping etc. could easily add another $100, lol.

CONCLUSION __

The GUPTECH has the size, the rep
and the price!!! You can even pick

the color.

This is screaming "buy me!!!"

$110.00 USD

DELAY- GUPTECH Chickadee-Lay-Analog Delay ...BOSS DM-2 clone

$110.00 USD

GUPTECH
Chickadee-Lay-Analog Delay

The Saguenay Quebec Canadian company with affordable
handmade clones does a Boss DM-2.
The layout is Time, Feedback and Echo.

CONCLUSION __

Not much to add. They make quality

pedals and accurate renderings of

whatever they clone. The price is

more than fair for what you get.

The OD in the video is the Trou D'Beinge
TB drive 9 (mini donut). A killer clone of
the classic decades old Hot Cake.

FUZZ/OD- MASK AUDIO ELECTRONICS Part Garden Ge... Swiss Army dirt pedal

Mask Audio Electronics

PART GARDEN Ge

$285.00 USD
A Fuzzy Drive. Think of Boss DS-1 Distortion but with the warm gritty sound of a Tone Bender. To do that you need a lot of Germanium transistors. They were not used enough by end of the 60's for the manufacturer's to continue making them. The radio and television companies wanted the new silicon transistors. Those that are around are few and far between. In short a good trick is to use just one to color the sound and use silicon for the others. The layout is Volume, Input boost, and Gain. Texture is more gain. A toggle gives you different voices.

CONCLUSION ___
A Swiss Army knife dirt pedal. Great sounding and highly

useful when the OD's and Fuzz pedals you have are not

doing the needed thing on some of your tunes.

OVERDRIVE- JUDGE AMPS Judge Drive... Nobels clone made glassy transparent

Judge Amps

JUDGE DRIVER ·

$235.00 USD
The topography says Nobels ODR-1 with a change here and

a tweak there. The gain was increased and the muddy bass

fixed. To my ear the most notable difference is it has more

even harmonics even symmetrical very much like like the

Tube Screamer. The layout is from the ODR with Volume,

Gain and its Width/Spectrum Tone control.

CONCLUSION ___

I am impressed by how un-ODR it is. It has a

district voice with a transparent chime. Very

mellow without being dark or muddy. I see

this as a seriously good secondary alternative

sound but not your main OD. For some it could

even be an always on pedal.

OVERDRIVE- FUZZLORD NAZARETH Octave Distortion _NEW _ the devil has a soul !!!

FUZZLORD
$265.00 USD
NAZARETH || OCTAVE DISTORTION

Mr. Rat is back again, but he gained some weight with a very
heavy low end and boost circuit pushed to take it up an octave
like a octave Fuzz but this is not a Fuzz.
The layout is classic best of. Yes ...a Volume Treble, Mid and
Bass with Boost wired to a second footswitch.
CONCLUSION ___
Yes you get all that beyond heavy sh@t but what
grabbed me is when it's backed off it has a better
amp-in-Box the many boasting of having nailed it.
It has it all breadth, poke, punch, balz & a
beautiful earthy character when backed off. Killer!!!
