OVERDRIVE- CAST ENGINEERING Texas Flood ... the SRV box that actually nails it!!!!

 CAST ENGINEERING TEXAS FLOOD 
$200.00 USD

Designed in 2014 this has been well under the radar. Cesar Diaz SRV's guitar tech was brought on board to get what started as a Tube Screamer. The gain was  increased, bass was added, the whole spec was brought into the present with high end parts to get rid of the mud and days were spent tweaking and re-tweaking  to perfect the voicing.
CONCLUSION 
On the whole a very effective pedal but keep in mind
without a bit of serious clean near breakup from a tube amp it it could sound scratchy and even thin. I use the Cusack Screamer which has a very similar vibe. I stack it on a Diamond Cornerstone which is their take on a Marshall Super Bass. 
The Super Bass is Marshall's 200 watt amp that has incredible headroom and has a lot of breadth. In sort it is really fat with just a bit of Crunch. The Screamer gives you the sound and the pedal keeps that fat sound even at low volume from your amp.
