What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

Manufacturer's Description from Other

The Crunch Transparent Overdrive pedal started one afternoon when Michael Schau, the best guitar player I know, told me that he could never find a low-gain overdrive pedal that was truly transparent. I figured it was time to use my physics background; I started researching and came up with a proof of concept as well as a long list of modifications/improvements. Mike heard the proof of concept and told me to "...not change a f***ing thing." I ignored him and spent a year making mods, only to end up pretty close to where I started. Mike's been playing it live and in recordings ever since.

LIGHT WEIGHT...great because my pedal board is getting too heavy for the standard 50lb flight restriction.

LED Brightness ADJUSTMENT....no worries, this is not a DIMMER and will not interfere with your tone. What an awesome addition especially for us old guys on sunny day stages!

SIMPLICITY...dial your tone in without endless tweaking

FOOTSWITCH...High quality, true bypass.

VERY QUIET...low noise compared to my other pedals.

DYNAMIC with picking style and volume knob changes.

SECRET INGREDIENTS...yup, some secret HIGH QUALITY components that make this pedal sing!!!
