Many of the Pharmacist Overdrive pedals I've seen seem to always be inspired by the original...which has an obvious Beatles motif. I wanted to go against the grain a bit. So, I figure why not make it more of a Matrix inspired thing, thus the whole "red pill / blue pill" thing. Turned out pretty darn good I think. I was originally gonna use black knobs...till I learned that the ones I had were actually for smaller posts. Used a set of white ones I had on hand instead. Kind of glad I did. Gives it a more sterile look, which fits better for the theme.
This one surprised me a bit in terms of the tones it can produce. I haven't played with the internal pots yet but, even then, it sounds pretty damn good. In fact, I think adding a boost or anything before kind of hurts the tone. It just sounds really good on its own. Tried it out with a few different amp models and I just couldn't find many that it didn't sound good with. That's a true testament to a solid overdrive circuit if you ask me.
