    They look intriguingly expensive - let us know how you get on !
    Red ones are better.

    They look pretty good, especially the TM-Boost.

    If you can do sound clips with your review that would be great
    In jazz, you never play the same thing once.

    No serviceable components inside - covered in goop - either to hide "magic circuit" or more likely hide that it's a bog standard circuit seen many times before.

    What happens if a component fails?
    what happens if Cornell is out of business when it fails?

    "I like the rapid punch of solid-state for the bottom, and the rodent-gnawing distortion of the tubes on top," Cipollina said.

    Enough booteek pedal buyers are already bought-in to the gooping though.

    Secrets and design rights are odd in the pedal world : Mr Fulltone wading in on 'infringers' of his Tubescreamer-tweaked-a-teeeeeny-bit Fulldrive for example and the community defending in-vogue builders' "rights" whilst cloning others.

    But yeah - goop - bad.
    Red ones are better.

    I've had a chance to have a play with both new Cornell T&M Boost and Special Overdrive and I really like them.

    They seem well built although the stainless steel finish will show every fingerprint.

    The Boost pedal I bought because my new Victoria amp sounds a bit dark with humbucking pickups (there are no tone controls on it - just volume). With the pedal in front of the amp it gives my guitars with humbuckers some bite otherwise missing.

    The Overdrive special I have put in one of the gig rig loops and is a very flexable pedal.
    Two channels - First goes from clean boost to mild overdrive and the second channel takes over from there up to full distortion without going in to metal territory.The boost switch gives either channel a volume lift handy for solos. There is also a hi cut switch to stop things getting fizzy.

    This pedal is a million miles away from my previous overdrive, the Boss SD-1 which I personally found too bright even with the tone set to minimum. The pedal is also seems pretty quiet in terms of background noise.

    I hope to put up some sound clips at some point (no promises though!)
    If i've missed anything, feel free to post a question

    All in all , money well spent
