The thing about the Tumnus is it mixes the clean signal with the distorted signal like a Klon, doesn't it? I wouldn't want that on my distorted tone, personally. At least not in a 100% clean amp.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

It doesn't do power chords well, but it is super-responsive to the volume knob, making it easy to do chords with a major 7th or minor 6th come out clearly. It is an overdrive pedal for people like me who play clean all of the time.

It really makes a difference to use an overdrive that keeps dynamics rather than compressing everything. I think it opens up some new dimensions.Administrator of the SDUGF
