OVERDRIVE- COLORTONE Parasite Overdrive- turns a Fender into a convincing Marshall

$215. USD
COLORTONE
PARASITE OVERDRIVE
Nothing new but the devil is in the details. The layout is active EQ in the
treble and bass controls with the usual volume and gain. A toggle brings a boost in the lows at around 130 Hz that beautifully imitates a 4x12 half stacks resonant thump. Another toggle clicks on a boost in the highs where it adds poke. Especially good for lower gain settings like a crunch sound. 
CONCLUSION 
It sounds like we are hearing a real half stack 
Marshall amp not a pedal at all. Damn impressive. 
Add to that it would be a life saver playing thru 
a small combo in a club at 'mouse levels' because of enforced restrictions on how loud you can play.  
This ones on my short list.
