Versatile overdrive and boost with treble adjustment

This is my main overdrive and boost pedal. I rarely use the TS mode. I prefer the middle position on the Rook side for my clean to crunchy tones, and when i play dirtier stuffs, i set the toggle to the lower position and then... Wow ! The Boost side is an Echoplex preamp, so it's like a EP booster but with the a Treble adjustment

P

od for days...

you get all overdrives and booster tones you need.
