I dunno about it being worth the price or not, to be honest I think a lot of the money is because of the presentation, it's in a box with laser cut font, the pedal is pretty immaculately made and comes with a bandanna and tshirt and the name plate on the pedal is really cool etc
For me it's not about number of knobs or anything but I thought I'd give it a go, I really dislike complicated pedals(like the Bigsky which I still have not explored at all).
It sounds a bit like a Super Hard On but the high notes don't get all hard and ice pick like when you turn it up. It also has about three times the volume that a Super Hard On has which is crazy maybe like a Blowing Up level of loud but clean all the way.
I read somewhere that it was based on a Korg SDD-3000 delay preamp so I guess that might be a good frame of reference. I think it's a little bit like a nicer version of a SHO but theyre completely different circuit wise, I think the SHO boosts everything hence ice pick this is a bit more selective so it boosts everything but to me it still sounds good. I'm very happy with it as like a final version of a pedal that I need for my sounds I'll never need to sell, but I don't know if I'd buy it to see if clean boosts were for me.
I have to say, that is the most helpful review of that pedal I have seen, so thank you. I'm with you on simple pedals, and I know clean boosts are for me, so, maybe I will pick up one of these when I have the spare cash...whenever that is.
One more question: is the volume control more of an off-to-on boost, or is it like an EP Booster when minimum is unity volume and it just goes up from there?
