Yeah, it's definitely a pedal designed for the Country player -- maybe the first pedal expressly designed for such?

For Country, I've also found the HAO Sole Pressure and Maxon OOD-9 Organic Overdrive useful. To my ear, the SP sounds just like the old Fender tweeds we'd see come through the repair department and would then crank up.

The OOD-9 is an open low-gain, low-compression overdrive. If you read the descriptions on the Maxon site, they actually reflect my comments about the pedal. This was when I tested prototypes of the OOD-9, VOP-9 and OSD-9 and reported back.

Got the Eden Analog Austin yesterday. It's another winner. It's not as edgy as the Nashville and is more in line with conventional overdrives. It's a Blues pedal, for sure. It uses the same high-quality components and appears to have 1N4148/1N914 diodes for clipping instead of LEDs.

Very quiet, has more low end than a Tube Screamer, and to my ear, is warmer than the clips on the EA site would suggest. Maybe they recorded those with the Tone control way up and treble up high on the amp?

The circuit is designed around the same TI RC4558P chip, but I swapped it out for a '70s Malaysian TI RC4558P chip. That said, again, there's not a big diffence I can discern.
