From Portland Oregon comes a new boy. They have the usual assortment of pedals. On offer is the Cardinale. It is in the low to medium gain category but instead of doing the expected Tube Screamer clone they seem to have pattern this off of a defunct New Zealand pedal the Hotcake.
When the designer passed away it fell into a company's hands that did not grow the company but just sold the pedals they had.
Without new product no one was directed to their site by the reviewers to also discover the Hotcake and it was eventually "good-bye" for the company.
They have a simple set up of Volume,Tone and Gain. At low settings it is totally transparent and gains a nice even increase of dirt as you move up the gain. When you dime it the sound it really breaks up into a very cool gentle spluttering tone. The pedal is very reminiscent of the brown faced Fenders.
I forgot how cool the old Hotcake is. Kudos to the Friday Club for bringing it back!!!
Better still the Hotcake goes used for about $350.00 USD so you get a big savings!!!
