On Sunday morning I watch Sundays with Ola on YT and have my morning coffee and a banana... At video's end, I decided to order a Chug Lite distortion pedal from Ola's outfit. I had money left over from Christmas, and decided I wanted something fun that wasn't guitar parts or tools. It showed up Thursday morning, having been shipped all the way from Spain to my humble domicile in Wichita, Kansas.

BOY! This thing is fizzy as hell. Gonna have to spend some time getting it dialed in. The knobs really work when you turn them - so kudos to whoever designed it. Started on my Katana Mini - didn't take long to give that thing up. Not enough air movement - it was overwhelmed. Went to the Marshall combo, and got much better results. I think ultimately I'll plug it into my Katana 50 to get more control over the reverb and delay. Should be an interesting adventure.
 
Looks like its voiced after the Randall Satan, what vids I saw of it, I liked it better going into return of the amp vs into the front. Could be something fun for chits and giggles on occasion.
 
The regular CHUG pedal is for using as a preamp. The CHUG Lite is an actual distortion unit designed to feed into the main input of a guitar amp. It has fewer controls.
