It’s a 4-in-1 pedal that gives you two very familiar drive circuits and two brand new amp-like distortion tones that no one has used before. It’s almost like pedal-modeling, except these are 100% analog circuits, and you decide which tone-control or clipping-section you want to play through.

It's a single-pedal with 3-knob controls and two dip switches to select either the ODR or the TS circuit for the two gain stages, giving four combinations.

@[email protected] What do you think #gearsquad? Why choose between the TS and the ODR when you can have both, together?

It’s pricey though. Why have both together when you can have both separately I guess.

I'm not clear if having both switches in the same mode should sound like two of the same pedal stacked or just one. If it's the former, then it's much cheaper than having the four individual pedals to cover the same sounds.

Oh I thought the switches were changing specific parts of the circuit to either use the ODR or TS. Which would mean you couldn’t achieve what this pedal does by stacking two pedals. Or am I wrong? Anyways I get your point, just saying it’s pricey and you may just want each separately.

[edit] I’d gladly spend the money if it makes me sound like Tom 😂

I haven't watched all the videos. But my superficial assumption was that you could have this one pedal do TS > ODR, TS > TS, ODR > TS, or ODR > ODR. But there's only on set of knobs, so I'm not sure.

Ok, I watched the Tech Demo video. The switches control which circuit the knob above them use. So you're selecting which gain stage into which tone stack. Putting both switches to the same mode should then be basically a clone of that pedal. But having the two pedals individually won't give you the same as either hybrid mode that this pedal offers. I'm a little bit more intrigued about this pedal now that I've figured that out.
