OVERDRIVE- DUSKY ELECTRONICS Toasted Drive ... between the very old & the very new

DUSKY ELECTRONICS TOASTED DRIVE 
$175.00 USD
If it's pricey and an Amp-in-box it most certainly is using JFET transistors as they best imitate tubes and are now found in chips often with 2 or more etc. Between JFETS and old school germanium and silicon transistors we got the MOSFET. It has it's own charm as it has an earthiness of the old school transistors but that near tube like thing of the JFETS. It sounds like a really cool vintage fuzz going thru an old Brit amp kind of sound. If done well such OD's have a ton of character.
Conclusion
After 6 years in production and mostly selling by word of mouth says a lot. Not even inevitable V.2
From lower transparent gain you get a clean but earthy boost and really high headroom and even more if you opt for an 18v adapter. Even when pushed into a healthy Crunch the voice of the guitar comes through. Everything these days boasts the same, some deliver but all want twice the price.
