OVERDRIVE- FUCHS AUDIO TECHNOLOGY Plush Straight Eight... 8 drives in one?

$250.00 USD
FUCHS AUDIO TECHNOLOGY 
STRAIGHT EIGHT   
The pedal starts life with a Tube Screamer topology and adds clipping diodes to take it into BOSS SD-1 territory and by adding more pushes the pedal into high gain with a lot of compression. 
The layout is Level, Gain and Tone. A rotary switch clicks thru 
the 8 settings. 
CONCLUSION ___
The voices on the unit do not have distinct sounds. It sounds too much like you are getting just more gain with the same sound. It is a good sound but not a great one. Add to that the price is perhaps the going rate but these days it is not cheap. 
I would rather have a two cheaper pedals with 2 distinct 
sounds or one like some MIAB pedals that nails a 
given and desirable sound.
