OVERDRIVE- TWILIGHT PULSE AUDIOWORKS Konstante __NEW__ preamp gained up

   TWILIGHT  PULSE  AUDIOWORKS 
konstante -O- 
$195.00 USD
A German company making OD and Fuzz pedals with a clichéd German thing about quality parts and understated good looks. 
The maker gives a vague hint making me think it is a take on the Spaceman Apollo pedal which was the Pre from their Voyager Tremolo turned into an OD. By doing the same thing using an  Echoplex preamp perhaps that is how we ended up with this.
Without the boost or cranking it ...the sound is unusually thin. And when cranked it has a trashy sound added. I am beginning to think this is deliberate for a Shoegaze 'thing' You get a bicycle modified with a loud converted lawn mower engine when you are expecting a Harley. 
CONCLUSION __ 
I have nothing nice to say. I hated the Apollo when it came out so rather than trash it I simply deleted it at the conclusion. I find this just trashy. Neither sweet and beautiful or something to give you an overpowering and thrilling rush! It just lies there like a dead road kill. 😠 

For guys that have a bookshelf for pedals not a board and pull them down one or two at a time to play with them for a half hour before switching to a video game it does and will look good on your book shelf.
