OVERDRIVE- FLATTLEY End of the Line Reaper ...more Dumble than Doom ???

 FLATTLEY END OF THE LINE REAPER 

$225.00 USD

Perhaps a bit exaggerated but if this were a Doom 

or even any Metal pedal it would sit on a shelf not someones board. 

All guitars amps create asymmetrical distortion. 

It is all about a mix of even and uneven boosting of the guitars harmonics. Even is all related to the notes going thru it, uneven is that rough and angry sound like a Fuzz which is all uneven. The Tube Screamer is all about just having even harmonics. It works because it sweetens and clarifies and does not sound weird because your amp has lots of uneven harmonics.This clever pedal allows you to blend in the even with the uneven for as much as you like. 

That's why I say it more Dumble only because we all think of Dumble as an amp with incredible clarity. It is not a new idea 12 years ago the Cusack Screamer came out. It is my secret sauce for my Strat sounds.(check out the Post)

The layout has the usual volume, tone and gain. The 6 position knob lets you choose between diodes for either a standard OD sound or a Tube Screamer type voice. The real magic is with the blend positions.

CONCLUSION

The Pedal is all about a nice clarity and definition with a Brit vibe. It is unusually full in the lower mids that I really love. It would be killer when you need a huge sound that can still lay nicely behind the vocals.If you already have an OD that is in your face this could be the magic counterpart you really need.
