Great Crowther Hot Cake clone
You don't come across many Crowther Hot Cake clones, even though that pedal is arguably as mythical as the Klon Centaur. I've been looking for one for quite some time. After all, it's the drive pedal of some of my favorite guitarists, including Jeff Parker and Nels Cline.
This affordable clone from the French-Canadian builders at GupTech was exactly what I needed to understand what all the fuss is about. What I like most about this pedal is how huge it sounds while still preserving much of the clarity and character of the guitar's clean signal. The dynamics is impressive - you can go from barely dirty to almost fuzzy and gnarly simply by changing your pick attack.
Legend has it that the original was conceived with Vox amps in mind. I've used this clone with Marshall and Fender amps as well, and it absolutely kills. Highly recommended.
