The result is an alternate universe take on their flagship pedal that marries the incomparable feel of the germanium with the careful equalization and tone controls of the preamp pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe result is a slightly lower gain, but richer sounding and feeling overdrive\/boost\/fuzz\/whatever we really, really dig.
