). I think I may have found a keeper. I don't like OD pedals all that much, after a while the one's I've owned have all sounded shrill to me. This one still has to be tested at a gig (no gigs requiring OD until the 21st...typical 
), but based on it's sound when I'm practicing it's an improvement on the Signa drive it's replaced. There's a very nice modern country dirt sound in it, which is what I use OD for. One initial gripe is that it doesn't seem all that touch responsive, meaning that with light picking the amount of dirt doesn't back off as much as I'd expect. But it is a fun pedal that feels and sounds good - I did find that I got a little carried away while playing with it this arvo which is always a good thing.The build is, as you'd expect from G&L, excellent. The chassis mounted jacks and switch and the nice knobs elevating it even beyond the high standard of the BBE pedals. The battery clip is riveted to the enclosure! Even has a CLFxxxx style serial number, very cute. I like the non-blinding red status LED - the blue LED on an MI Audio pedal I have could probably be seen from the moon. I even almost like the look of this one, the G&L logo looks very nice on the '70s Holden Kingswood tan colour (see below), though I could do without the cartoony 'Buckshot' font and shotgun blast thing on it...
3/7 of the products on my pedal board are now BBE ones which have come after a lot of expensive trial and error with pedals costing twice as much - Paul, you're damn good at your job! Imagine if the Whipper Snapper, or even better a 100 watt 212 version were to be released
. Probable sonic bliss.
