OVERDRIVE- ONE CONTROL Dyna Red___NEW ___ 'in your hand' series of an original

O N E  C O N T R O L
Dyna Red   
$280.00 USD
Swedish born Bjorn Juhl made his first pedals in the 80's and became by the late 90's perhaps the very first celebrity pedal builder. He invented the Dyna Red with the aim of it being a MIAB before the term was even thought of. Even now it has perhaps the best perfect upper mids and highs out there. He made them by hand one at a time and painted them with a brush. Needless to say they all looked just a bit different. he could not keep up with the demand so he farmed them out to a local builder in Sweden and eventually 2 builders in the US with their own territories to sell in. He eventually ended up with One control making them in Japan. He was not the ideal business man and went bankrupt twice, lol.
This pedal is gone back to his disregard for cost & do it right first pedal. 
It is in the 'In Your Hand Series'
The first pedal was a 3 knob pedal and v.2 is a 4 knob.
The v.2 itself is decades old.
            CONCLUSION __ 
The sound is undeniably good and nails the early v.2 so it 
hits the bullseye. The price is in the ballpark with other
gourmet builders. The 'Cork Sniffers and Collectors' 
will be lined up to get one.
