Thanks and I'll try one with my rig to see how it suits as it sounds like I get to keep what I like and get what I'm after too. I am aware of its slightly larger size though.
I'll keep you posted.

Learning more about his, erm... "designs" here turned me off them.

So essentially most of his pedals are clones of other designs?
It would seem so.
I know there are other people/companies who do this, but the way he goes about it just sticks in my craw for some reason.
Just to illustrate:

Lovepedal are one of the few companies I've yet to try (although I am thinking about trying a superlead or redhead)
Although the design changes in that diagram look minimal, anyone with a background in electronics will see that the basic features are common to loads of drive pedals and the time taken to investigate and test the changes arent insignificant.
When I buy a pedal I'm paying for the time the designer spent coming up with the tweaks AND the quality of construction - if it's well built and the sound matches my need then I'm happy.
That's fair enough, John.
I don't like it and think he's a rip-off cowboy.
For "boutique" it's Catalinbread all the way for me

I've got an MXR GT-OD on loan at the moment. Sounds very nice. That bloke Gregor Hilden (Greg's Guitars, youtube), uses an Okko Diablo a lot, and gets some great low-gain overdrive tones.

been through a load of low gain od's and reckon the okko diablo is easily the best, so transparent; stunning.
I think I've found one I like - the Wampler Ecstasy (Euporia) pedal. With the gain between 9 - 12 o'clock, it sounds good and spanky on all 3 settings (Smooth, Open & Crunch), but I like the Smooth option best. I also like the pedal when you crank the gain and it's very versatile and responds well to guitar volume changes, but it's pricey new. I just need to try it with my OCD to see if they stack well together.
Anyone got one for sale or trade (possibles = Keeley TS-808, Zoom MS-50G Multi Stomp, Polytune Mini Noire)
