i felt compelled to write after trying out the new SHOD for the first time today...what a stellar OD!!!!...Bjorn has created a phenominal pedal !!...it has such great headroom, clarity and treble response like a SYOD, but with touch dynamics that are un-frick'n real !!...how did you do that?...it's no one trick pony, it does alot, and really well...it is really inspirational...it sounded unbelieveable with my KT66 Marshall, and with my EL34 Marshall as well...i had to turn the focus knob to the right about 1/4 turn for some more treble with the EL34's and bring the drive back a bit...but it was back to OD Heaven after that!!...now, alot of pedals will only sound good with certain rigs and tube types, but this one is one of the few i know of that shines on both my amps!!!...it's clarity, fullness of sound, and versatility are really what makes this the swiss army knife of overdrives...not to mention a wicked booster with the drive turned down to 9 o'clock...you were right Donner!......all you BJFE lovers out there, RUN, don't walk, to pick one up...i can't wait to try it at 18v's tommorrow....
