    Cool NPDx2!

    Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive
    It has a medium amount of overdrive, but very articulate note definition thanks to the clean signal blend. It is as if you layered 2 amps, 1 dirty and 1 clean. It really hits the mild crunch to moderately driven sweet spot when pushing a clean amp. Think REM's "The One I Love" intro. The tone control places it in sparkle-ish when turned to the high side, which works great for Gretsch and Tele sounds, similar to the Wampler Paisley Drive. I haz love.




    TC Electronics Gravy Tri Chorus & Vibrato with Tone Print
    This just came out and is available only at GC and MF. Take the sweet tri chorus of their Corona Chorus pedal, and add a vibrato circuit, and you have a double duty pedal. The chorus does exactly like it should, almost invisible to the ears until you turn it off. It really fills in some nice depth without messing with your original tone.
    The vibrato has plenty of speed and depth range, sounding close to a Leslie. I won't use it as much, but wanted the option.

    Guitars: Lots.
    Amphs: More than last year.
    Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.

    I'm really enjoying the Sparkle Drive. It sounds and feels like an old Tweed Deluxe, minus the hefty price tag. This may be the best sounding pedal I own.

    Pedal and Lap Steelers really love their Sparkle Drive pedals if all the love they get on the SteelGuitarForum is true.
