Re: Low gain'ish od proto
I'd just like to say with pride, humility, gratitude and happiness, that this very pedal now lives at my house. I only ever use one overdrive pedal, and this one will now be it, for the rest of my days.
It's early days and I'm still experimenting (with a complete new recording setup as well as this pedal) but I will post some clips as soon as I am a little more comfortable with all the processes involved.
I can say that this is truly a great specialised low-gain device that allows wide ranges of control over the narrower sonic window that is usually very difficult to dial in with the standard ranges of overdrive and distortion pedals. Not only is it wonderful in front of a tube amp, but I've recorded it directly into the 'guitar DI' input on my new audio interface (Audient iD22) and amazingly it sounds excellent, not the usual overly-splatty grit-fest one usually expects when plugging dirt devices directly in to s/s devices.
I was always interested in the original premise of this thread, and Niels has masterfully nailed what he set out to do, in my humble opinion. In my view, this is the kind of pedal that will work best for those who already have a good guitar and amp sound, and have developed a decent degree of 'touch' in their playing. With those elements in place, this can subtly make things sound huge with just the right amount of edge and hair to retain dynamics and enhance the players' sonic intentions.
Hopefully I can do it justice when I am able to present some clips. I'll start a new thread at that point, with more thoughts and opinions. In the meantime, big thanks to Niels, and also big congratulations on doing such an awesome job of mastering what can be a very tricky, subtle, finnicky little sonic area between clean and dirt.
More to come in the near future ....
