NEW EQD: Talons Overdrive - Now with demo!!!

Post by hclapp219 »

Just saw this on Gearphoria's FB page. DEEEEEEEEEEEETS

Updated with info from Premiere Guitar:

Talons High Gain Overdrive
The Talons Overdrive is a project we have been working on for a long time at EQD. After nearly a year of variations and fine tuning we have finally nailed it. It very well may be the best and most versatile go-to overdrive we have ever heard! It features a full active tone stack, a presence control for sculpting the top end and more gain than one should ever need from an overdrive in a very compact format. Unlike all our other overdrives, the Talons was not designed to emulate any specific sound or era. It can be glassy and open, scooped and chunky, gritty and wild, light and airy, drunk and unhinged... We will not disappoint you, there is something for everyone in this box!

Release Date: September 2012

Street Price: $195.00

Graphics look kind of old-school EQD. :thumb: Is this the reworked Crimson Drive circuit or..?

And if you turn down the presence, where does it go instead?

In all seriousness though, it's really cool to see an overdrive with a 3 band EQ. MORE MIDS.

I don't think I've ever seen a OD pedal with a presence knob. Maybe it's modeled after a amp or something. Stoked...EQD is going bonkers.

Most importantly, will it doom Praise?

I hate gassing for ODs - I like my overdrive as it is... but I want this as well. And a Fuck. And a Barbershop. And a Speaker Cranker. And a Driving Notion.

STUPID PEDAL COMPANIES MAKING SHIT I LIKE!

The Tone Job is pretty amazing on it's own so this one could just get all definitive.
