Well I may have just solved my overdrive problem for under $50!! I've been aware of these pedals since they came out but I guess I never sat down and actually played one.

I just bought the last one of the originals at the store and I'm completely satisfied and impressed. It's a spectacular pedal for under $50. I'll keep my Allums modded OD-3 on the board as well for dirtier tones but this Cool Cat has a beautiful warm sound with just a little hair at the lower gain settings and that's exactly what I was wanting. My OD-3 was giving me too much overdrive at it's lowest setting.

You do have to play with the balance between the 'Volume' and the 'Gain' quite significantly but that's a minor annoyance. It's quiet and it is transparent to my ear at least.

I'm happy.
