BOOSTER- SPACEMAN Mercury IV ...germanium harmonics booster... a brilliant idea

$345.00 USD
 SPACEMAN MERCURY IV 
The idea must have occurred to hundreds of builders
BUT???
A tube sounds great even clean because it exaggerates the even order harmonics . The strongest being the second harmonic. Look at it this way if the second harmonic is virtually a faux octave above the program source then the tone is rich because it is in essence doubled.
So what if you could have a pedal that added the even order harmonics.
It would make your sound automatically fat and lush
.










CONCLUSION
I was expecting a pedal with more of a sound that when in a clean mode it gave you 12 string like overtones without a second string. The fundamental sound is just a presence that is so bright it adds a metallic shine to the sound that sounds very Fuzz like. A cool sound but ...not a big bright warm tone.
Play the video from 8:45 for a minute. I was expecting this approach but more refined.
