OVERDRIVE- DONNER Umbria Ruben Wan Signature Distortion ___NEW ___ Flatulence?

⃣⃝ DONNER 
UMBRIA  Ruben Wan Signature  
DISTORTION 
$66.00 USD
Ruben Wan plays uninspired insipid Pop music 
but can play a few Jazz clichés. A Sesame Street
George Benson? 😇
The layout is Volume, Tone and Gain. A toggle 
lets you choose either Rumble or Classic.
            CONCLUSION ___
This is one of the most mediocre OD'S 
I ever reviewed. It is dark and muddy 
without any highs in the classic setting. 
In the other position it is thinner than 
a hair on your head, tinny, even strident.
WTF were they trying to achieve? 
Sonic flatulence!!!!

thefineprint 
WTF!!! this pedal is labeled as a Distortion. A Rat 
is a Distortion. If this is a Distortion than a
Klon is a Heavy Metal Doom pedal.

OVERDRIVE- COLORTONE PEDALS Parasite 2026 ___NEW ___ V.4 of their MIAB

 COLORTONE PEDALS
P A R A S I T E
$200.00 USD
Nothing game changing. It is a one size does all. Their blurb 
mentioned Dumble in the same sentence as an OCD???? 
A Dumble amp uses the same topography as Marshalls JTM 45. That said it is not some studious replication of an 
exact amp like JMP 50 or JCM 800 etc, etc. but WTF. It is quite impressive.
This is in effect version 4, V.1 was released in 2019, 😇 
The layout is Level, Gain, Treble and Bass with a toggle which emulates the resonance of basic single 12"cab or a 4x12 half stack. Another toggle brings on Brite which mimics a Marshall bright cap channel.
    CONCLUSION __
It is simply a damn good Brit OD and the cab
resonance thing is always welcomed but seldom
added. It has balz, that in my book puts it near 
the head of the pack. That said since you will
always ask. 
My recommended MIAB is the $200.00 USD
PedalPalFX PAL800 Gold Overdrive V.4. 
...if the house is on fire & you can just grab one pedal  😇

BITCRUSHER- JHS 3 SERIES Bit Crusher ___NEW ___ just a weird Fuzz ???

 JHS 3 SERIES |   
  B I T  C R U S H E R    
$100.00 USD
WTF is it??? ___Think of it like this. When 'Moving Picture' were 
invented it was just that. The camera took a constant stream of 
or individual pictures than when run past eye at a good speed & 
many or them created an illusion of movement. Digital takes 'bit' pictures. If you take or use too few and blend it with the guitars 
signal you get digital Distortion sounds. The tone is bright like a 
Silicon transistor Fuzz but gritty like a Germanium Fuzz. 
So think of it like a new kind 
of Fuzz. 
          CONCLUSION ___
Nothing new but modern tech makes it 
easy to control so the signal can be filtered 
in a out or shifted in pitch etc. etc, etc. So? 
It isn't ... All Shoegaze


WAR? ____ARE YOUR PEDALS AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER?

 INTERACT ATTACKS    

This is a need to know. There is a lot of info and 

...unfortunately not easy to take in.
