OVERDRIVE- MYTHOS Herculean Deluxe OD___NEW___ beer pedals for cork sniffers?

MTYHOS HERCULEAN 
DELUXE OVERDRIVE
$414.00 USD
The company has always fostered an image of Americana. Old boys, beer,
small towns and rural communities. In contrast it has always catered to the cork sniffers with vintage sounds and unusual perhaps rare and vintage parts.
So what we get is a dual OD with the right side a Blues Breaker borrowed from the Mythos Runestone. The left side is from their standard Herculean pedal which is FET style medium gain OD. FETS being very tube like give the pedal its warmer tones.
The layout is Level and Gain for each side. Clarity which is jive for high end and a bass control. Voice is a separate treble control for the left side FET OD side. There are internal 
trim pots to voice the pedal to give it a darker 
or brighter overall sound.
CONCLUSION___
Basically we have a Marshall Blues Breaker being used to boost a pedal with a Fender Bassman vibe. The internal controls are a total pain for anyone with more than one amp. They should at minimum be adjusted with a screw driver from the outside. 
The hype is laid on with a trowel with a mountain of understated pretense. It does not hide the obscene price tag.
The sound of the pedal is full rich and very pleasing for Blues, Americana thing. So if you want one you better put off buying that ford F-150 you have been admiring.😇
