NEW PARADIGM DYNAMIC OVERDRIVE

A French company that's been around for awhile but like most French companies is under the radar. It is part of a trend these days to not try to be a specific Amp-in-a Box. It comes with the usual boasts of being transparent with good dynamics and a lot of headroom.

The layout is unusual with level gain, high cut, and pre gain. You get a toggle each to cut lows, scoop mids, boost highs and one to cut lows in the pre gain. The pre gain acts as a foot switchable boost.

CONCLUSION

I have say what I hear. When pulled back it has no sustain and sounds thin. When cranked it gets rather muddy without any harmonic definition. I really expected to hear a lot detail in the overtones and a glassy kind of sound.
