OVERDRIVE- COLE MUSIC Paradrive ....retire you Tube Screamer ...get this!!!

$190.00 USD
 COLE MUSIC PARADRIVE 
The pedal is based off a dual FET Burr Brown 
TI/OPA2604 AP chip.  ....W.T.F.!!!
Yes me too? It ain't a Boss or Ibanez or even a 
Rat thing so it doesn't ring a ding dong bell! lol
So curiosity got the best of me. It was used by 
Ross and Dod. ....Yawn.

The layout has Gain and Level with a switch for two choices of clipping. diodes. The EQ is a quasi parametric with a sweep and a cut or boost pot.

It all starts with their fixed EQ that is relatively flat then you can mod that with the EQ. The pedal is by popular standards transparent.
CONCLUSION
Impressive. With the gain pulled back a lot of guys could use it as an always on pedal.
You get a very nice full sound without any artifacts. Gone is any thin tinny 
sound complete with a bit of fret rattle. The low end is full without a trace of mud.
I am sure this would be killer on amp when you are forced to play at ridiculously 
low volume. This is just sooo far under the radar! 
To me it is better then any Tube Screamer out there and literally hundreds of 'Me Too's'
Hats off to Cole! This pedal is a gem!
