Questions

  • What's a tube based distortion pedal you have or you think might be worth buying?

  • What would be a good site / reddit sub / forum / Youtube channel / whatever to check? I'm going to check Reverb tonight when I have time.

Skippable boring details

The thumb is for this COMING SOON: Audiode Overdrive / Distortion Pedal - Curious Audio

Curious Audio is run by a couple of lefties and the pedal intrigued me but there are issues. The pedal is more than I want to spend. The site lists the price as "$379.00 $289.00". I dont know if they are actually still making the damn thing. The apparently sold five. They were supposed to have a Youtube vide up around September. But now they removed any mention of that. Also - I emailed them a follow up question 3 months ago and they never replied.

I shouldn't have wasted my time but this morning I emailed them again. I broke a simple but very useful rule I have. If a business doesn't reply promptly - I should never do business with them. And it's not like there aren't loads of other pedal options.

    Waste of money IMO, there's a good reason why the vast majority of dirt pedals (or any other pedals for that matter) don't have tubes. They just don't need them to sound good.
