Re: new mid-fi overdrive!
Just got the Overdrive. WOW!
Goes from clean boost (with lots of volume) to crunchy clean, to crunchy drive, to blown amp etc...
Work very well with the neck pickup!
I really like it!!! This is my new clean sound.

Switch to the left, gain about 10 o' clock... neck pickup.
That's my clean sound.
With the switch to the left, even hard drive feel like clean. AWESOME!!
The switch to the right feel more gritty. AWESOME!!

Re: new mid-fi overdrive!
i have huge GAS for this pedal.
have you tried stacking it with other gain pedals? on the demo the volume knob seems kept pretty low. is it hard to get the utility volume?

For my setup, it worked best stacking it into other pedals.
The volume knob isn't hard to get unity out of, it just depends a lot on how the other controls are set.
With the switch to the left there is more volume (or perceived volume) than with it to the right.
The volume also increases as the gain does.

I'm kinda intrigued by this one as well. Love the idea of having an envelope filter control the OD (because I love envelope filters almost as much as I love fuzz). Can't wait to hear more demos.

It stack well, before and after others pedals.
Sound so good after the Demo Tape Fuzz!
There's a lot of volume... not hard to get unity.
I will record a demo as soon as I find some free time.

I like it on bass for a blown out James Jamerson kinda vibe.
