It's a very unique overdrive pedal. It has a very distinct sound and is very fat sounding, which is why I like it. It’s very juicy sounding. I would say that 98 per cent of my sound is the amp (the Fryette Sig:X), so that's the meat and potatoes of my sound. For my solos, I kick on something interesting. I use the lead channel on the amp for the rhythm sound and the rhythm channel of the amp with the gain dialed back for the lead sound and I use a pedal in front of it, just to kick it in.
This photo of Chris Crisci’s board from the Effects Bay 2011 November post shows a Spaceman Aphelion Harmonic Overdrive right next to the mic stand. There is also the same Spaceman Aphelion Harmonic Overdrive pedal in another picture of his pedalboard from 2019 I've shared on here.
