A really unique touch-sensitive, transparent low-gain OD/boost. This gives sparkle to cleans, grit to low-gain and stacks beautifully with amp drive or other pedals. The output volume has plenty of headroom to push an amp into overdrive. The sag control helps to bring in a bit more compression or more unbridled tones into the mix. This sounds like no other OD and may end up being an always-on for my boards. It's a bit finicky and can be hard to dial in (it sounds and interacts completely different on four different tube amps I have tried) but amazing once set. I built it for 18V but have only tested at 9V tonight. Will try that later in the week.

Really nice, all around. I’m curious what your response to 18v will be. I like both, and have thought about adding a switch to select.
