PenfarFX: Conundrum OD - PRS Studio to HIWATT SA212

Описание: http://www.penfarfx.com

Chad J. Leavitt of PenfarFX calls the Conundrum - one of his first successes - an overdrive. I think that's understating things a little. It is a lot more than most overdrives I've tried. It veers into fuzz territory and parks right up next to distortions as well. The crazy thing is, I thought this actually was a fuzz, albeit a very versatile fuzz, before I took the time to read the manual and consult the PenfarFX website. I was surprised but delighted because, folks, I believe this is one of the most original OD's I've come across in a long time. Truly. That shouldn't surprise me, though, because Chad's Fat Foot and Aces High are killers as well.

From Chad's website:

"The Conundrum is a medium-high gain overdrive pedal that had me very, very busy trying to find just the right circuit. I went thru several ideas before finding one I was 100% satisfied with.

Utilizing the "?" knob, you can leave it at noon for crunchy overdrive, turn it down to smooth things out or slowly increase it to enter into fuzz territory. You can get some nice pseudo-fuzz tones out of it. I like using my Les Paul with both pickups and full gain to get some juicy fuzz-like sounds.

The mids are a fixed value, but if you want a scooped metal-ish tone just increase the treble and bass accordingly.

I've shipped one of these bad boys off to Brett Kingman for a demo. Video will be posted as soon as I get word. Stay tuned and thanks for looking!"

Well, Chad, here's the word. There's also a very rough and ready Jazzmaster version of this video at    • PenfarFX: CONUNDRUM. Jazzmaster to HIWATT ...
