OVERDRIVE- ANODE EFFECTS Dragon Drive V2 ___NEW___ old school hardclipper

The company is a one man show self taught wizard of the soldering iron like
 
Josh Scott of JHS. He like most from the past does his take on the classics. In this case we get what the early Boss dirt pedals had a lot of.  Personality that 'just works' and has the kind of organic charter that makes whatever you play make your day just that much better. It is meant to suggest a MIAB. It is anything but, lol. It is a medium to high gain OD. It uses the same ol' OpAmp w/clipping diodes that most pedals use but in this case we get all LED diodes. They are smoother than germanium but both very warm sounding and respond to ones touch in tube like way. 
The layout is Volume, Gain, Bass, Mids and Treble. 
    CONCLUSION ___ 
I quite like like it's adolescent vibe. It is that tool in your tool 
box that when stacked adds what every is missing. It has bite. 
It can fatten and warm up a sound and when backed off make 
a string of stacked pedals make a smooth cohesive sound.
