NAMM 2016: New SD Boost/Overdrive Pedal - The Palladium Gain Stage

. From what I understand, Duncan pedals are only put together here - to save money. Which makes the 300 dollar price tag perplexing.

Palladium is Made in the USA, which means that it's designed in Santa Barbara and manufactured in the USA, with quality parts sourced in the US and around the world.

I'm sorry for spreading incorrect information. I was under the impression that some of the work was done overseas. Either I got bad information or I was thinking of some of your older pedals.

Some of our pedals do carry the designation "Designed and Assembled in Santa Barbara." These pedals are designed in Santa Barbara, just like our Made in USA pedals, with some of the manufacturing outside the United States, and final assembly and testing at our Santa Barbara factory.

We use both country of orgin designations because we always want to be clear and transparent about how and where we are making our products. Regardless of which label is used, our passion and obsession for amazing sound, quality and reliability is reflected in every product we make.

Here's Keith demoing the Palladium. All of the gain sounds are from the Palladium Gain Stage Pedal, through clean signal chains.

I really like how it sounds on the video (I HAVEN'T TRIED ONE YET!), great eq options and high gain. All of us metalheads want that. I just wish that the boost option had been after the gain, to get a good solo volume. Don't get me wrong, I have used boost pedals before a gain pedal in the past, but I prefer that with low gain pedals. With high gain pedals I have found it unecessary and noisy.

It would have been cool to have a switch that allows you to choose where you want the boost; pre or post. I am planing on getting one by mid April so I will post my findings here.
