OVERDRIVE- OVALTONE Fat Plexi _NEW _MIJ ... sounds great!

$210.00 USD

Ovaltone GUITAR EQUIPMENT
F·A·T PLEXI
Made in Japan by a small company with a dozen assorted dirt pedals and some Pickups & Asc.
The pedal is a take on a Marshall Plexi dialed into a crunch

sound.
The layout is Volume, Gain, Bass, Mids, Treble and a Boost.

CONCLUSION __
It has a nice balzy punch & good sustain. It is going for
a crunch & there is lot of definition.
Marshalls own 1959 does this & more for $160.00 USD.
Although it focuses on higher gain the Tone City Golden
Plexi is worthy of anyone's attention. It is $60.00 USD.

REVERB/DELAY- GFI SYSYEM Solis Ventus .... Nerds or the Nosy

GFI SYSTEM

$550.00 USD
S O L I S V E N T I S

This unit takes no prisoners, LOL. It covers all the basics and no end of 'Stat Wars Only'. That said it

is much more user friendly than units that do

half as much.

CONCLUSION __

In the real world it demands a leaning curve

too demanding for many of use. Me included. That said just like a Ferrari it is always nice to pull on the gearshift and push some buttons and switches.
In other wards hear some presets. __

OVERDRIVE- TONE CITY Nashville _NEW _ or not ????

$65.00 USD

TONE CITY
Nashville
If this is an obvious Nobels ODR 1 Then what happen to their
Nobleman version? If it is v.2 why change the name? WTF!
The layout is Volume, Tone and Bass Cut/high pass filter.

CONCLUSION __
Nobels make the ODR Mini 2 for $80.00 USD
which is not a lot more. Sooo....

OVERDRIVE- FULLTONE OCD 'Lux'_NEW _Crunch & Lead channels

Fulltone

OCD 'Lux

$300.00 USD
A classic in a dual pedal. The Crunch side from the original

v.1 and the classic lead side was what overtime was considered the best, the v.2 was an obvious choice and since has been generally though as the best. both have toggle for

a second voice, both sides have a standard OCD layout of Volume, Tone and Gain and a toggle for the HP & LP sound.
CONCLUSION __

The v.2 is arguably all one needs in a single pedal but with a separate boost even a Tube Screamer Circuit tuned to a SRV sound like the King Tone

Solo would have been perfect.

BITCRUSHER- TURBULENT AUDIO Nyquist Bitcrusher_NEW_ musical fluctuance :-)

TURBULENT AUDIO
NYQUIST

$200.00 USD

What is it? Digital works in audio by recording tiny bits of sound
and then playing them back in an instant stream. If there are
too few then the playback has a noticeable gap of distortion.
Chips of such low quality were first used primarily in talking
toys like dolls.
The layout helps explain. You get Volume. Slew which toggles on
more degradation. Frequency chooses a narrow area like the highs
or lows to be effected. Depth blends the clean with effect.
A second foot switch triggers in a full on Glitch effect.
CONCLUSION __
For most of us it is too crazy to use and if we wanted
really weird then try a ring modulator it is somewhat

similar but arguably more musically usable.
JHS 3 Series Bitcrusher is $100.00 USD & is as good

OVERDRIVE- ONE CONTROL Cranberry ... Bjorn Juhl's low gain Dyna Red

$145.00 USD

ONE CONTROL

CRANBERRY OVER DRIVE ·

Most people these days know of Bjorn's designs via Mad Professor
pedals as the guy has designed most of them. The most notable
is the Dyna Red that has been with us forever and for good reason.
The newest version of that is called the Strawberry Red. In either
case this is a low gain version. The layout is Volume, Drive & Treble.
CONCLUSION ___
I find it too gutless. Check out
the Dyna Red clone.
The MOVAL Dynostaur.

_THE UPDATER_NOVEMBER 2026_NEW GEAR NEWS_UPDATED 24/7

THE UPDATER
October 2026

I separate the pedals that are a steal from
those who are stealing from you at any price

IF IT IS WORTH KNOWING IT IS HERE FIRST !!!

____________________________________________________________________________________

MY MONTHLY RANT

Damn elections. There should be a law. They stuffed the guy that through everyone under the bus into the toilet but forgot to flush.

TIME OUT
___The site went crazy all month. Last year about 1,500 of you guys showed up every day. Now it is 15,000. I think it is because everyone is worried about money and/or whether or not Russia or Iran or China or even America itself will be the catalyst for WW3. People come here as a diversion. A pedal can be bought or even saved up for by anyone. Buying online and waiting gives anyone something positive to look forward to. Keep in mind players from all over the globe come here daily. Even counties like Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore visit here in large numbers.

___There is some major good news with the elections voting in those that want to fix the economy. The only way they can make a significant difference is to kill the tariffs and put any back old school one at a time and ONLY if they merit it.

SMILE! We all got back 'A Future' 😇

BEHRINGER REIGNS?
All 37 of the pedals in the pic are soon to start heading your way. They will come in
metal enclosures not their infamous plastic ones, Many will be classic clones but
some will be originals.
The price? How about ___$10.00 USD to $15.00 USD!!!!! Yes some will be that cheap.
