Heaven in a Box!

[martinsixstringcustoms]

Thanks to the sound advice I got from Twilight Oddessy (Thanks, Ben!) and Joel Weaver @ HomeBrew Electronics, I finally found the perfect OD/Distortion Pedal to compliment my Orange Rocker 30 amp. I purchased a "Big D" and this thing is tonal bliss. I must admit that since the Big D has 5 different Diode selections and a clip switch, I thought that it was going to take some time to find my sound, but to my pleasant surprise, I was able to dial in great tone in less than a minute. I've only had a chance to play with it for a few hours, but I've already fell in love with position 2 (A slightly higher gain classic o/d) with the clipping switch set to soft. With the volume cranked on my test guitar (GMW Strat with Custom TB), I was able to dial in old Van Halen type tones. When I rolled the volume back a bit, classic Zeppelin and AC/DC with ease. The sound is tight, not muddy whatsoever and even on the highest gain settings, I was able to head every note within chords. I haven't played with the "bigger" toggle yet, but its basically a boost I believe. The pedal is solidly constructed, looks great, and its quiet. I noticed little to no coloring of my amps true tone, which was a must for me. This is one bada$$ pedal!

I also ordered a Psyclocybe Phaser. Can't wait for it to arrive!
