OVERDRIVE- CHELLEE Ponyboy v.3 ...another Klon clone? ... More like a hot rodded Tumnus!!!

$120.00 USD
 CHELLEE PONYBOY v3 ORVERDRIVE 

The original Klon is a rock Icon even the guy who
invented it can not convince the masses that his new pedal is even close to it LOL
Well the price for the original is still high enough to buy a nice car.

BUT... it is now just a Tube Screamer in that everyone makes one
even MXR :-)
So players are not interested in the esoteric but in a good sounding low gain pedal with a full feature set and a good price.

Chellee are a guy and his lady making hand made but reasonably priced pedals in Florida. They have been around quite a while hence this is v3.
They have a very good world wide following. In short they know their stuff!

The Wampler Tumnus has been a huge success by taking the whole point of the Klon's original purpose and improved on it.
The Ponyboy has done the same and has added even more.
this certainly puts it head to head with the new
Wampler Tumnus Deluxe.

So added is both bass and treble tone control and a choice of
germanium or silicon clipping diodes. Others have added this or that but this has added it all. It is not only cheap but hand made.
Not bad!!! You probably can not do better!

mmmm... I was thinking I might update my Tone City Bad Horse to the Wampler Tumnus (which by the way Wampler are NOT handmade) But the The Ponyboy v.3 has it all and $80 cheaper too!
No small thing!
