Cool Cat pedals - how cool is this!

[Lev]

there's a chorus drive and metal pedal on a UPS truck somewhere with my name on them. I hope to have them next week !!

[Robert****]

I was very impressed by the chorus. I would have bought it, had I had any use for chorus.

I finally got a chance to play around with my Cool Cat Pedals this week (Drive, Metal & Chorus).

Let me start by saying that I've been a multiFX unit kinda guy for along time. I used a Boss ME6, PODs and more recently the Zoom G series. I've never been happy with any overdrive/distortion pedals I've used (DS1, Bluesbreaker, Arion Distortion). I also never use the Drive channel on my HRDlx amp as it sounds too harsh for my tastes.

The Cool Cat Drive and Metal pedals have opened my eye's again to the joys of stomp boxes. I'm really happy with the sound I'm getting from these boxes, the combination of the Drive and Metal gives me every level of dirt I could ask for from a little boost to all out mayhem. The Drive pedal on it's own adds a beautiful natural responsive breakup to the signal. I have the Metal pedal setup to add some extra dirt, volume and bottom end to the already overdriven signal coming out of the drive pedal. This gives a glorious sustained crunch sound that works great with my Lemon Drop LP - great for bonamassa, gary moore, ACDC type tones.

The fact that I'm happy with the distortion I'm getting for these CC's in front of the amp has allowed me to move my Zoom G2 to the FX loop and just use it for delay and tuner. This makes my whole sound come alive, the amp sounds better and my guitars sound better.

The Cool Cat Chorus is a really nice sounding Chorus - I'm not a big chorus user but I love to have one ready for whenever I feel like breaking into some Def Leppard and this pedal delivers that classic 80's chorus tone perfectly.

....these pedals have rounded off a great year for gear purchases for me without having to spend big bucks. There really are some great products out there now for the budget conscious guitarist - my Vintage Lemon Drop LP, my Washburn D10S and my Cool Cats have been great purchases for 'relatively' little money - thanks to my fellow fretters who've advised, recommended and demo'd some of this gear before I pulled the trigger.

I'm taking some parental leave from work later this year so expect to see all these new toys appearing on my youtube page before too long..

I have been playing around with my Drive and Fuzz this week, and I really like them both. The Drive is a great blues pedal. The fuzz sounds amazing with my SD-9. I can't wait to get the Tremolo and Vibe pedals! They are still back ordered though.

To me it is no question that quality pedals like this gives me a much better sound that any multi-effect can do. I would only use one of those in the loop of the amp, for effects like delay, reverb or similar.

Good report and thanks! Can't wait to see more Lev vids too. Good to know your thoughts too Robert.

I like the tone of that Transparent OD, very Voxy.

Yeah, that's the one that has my interest.

[Tone2TheBone]

Yeah Levster you go man. Can't wait to see the new stuff on youtube!

[Mr Grumpy]

Got a Coolcat distortion on the way!

[richey88]

I got my CC fuzz based on Robert's demo, and I have yet to get anything satisfying stacked with my DS-1, Hot Head (another cool Digitech distortion) or Bad Monkey, I do really dig it by itself or boosted with an EH LPB-1.

Robert your demos are as good as your chops are inspiring! Thank you! I am lucky to have stumbled on to Dolphin Street (and this forum via DS) purely by accident! Keep 'em coming! I am polishing my pennies for the Transparent OD, and experience with this? Anyone? Bueller?

Here's the Cool Cat fuzz w/ other Dano pedals through the V18: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6928873

Dig!

[Mr Grumpy]

The cool cat distortion has arrived. Still fiddling with it but so far very impressed. Good build quality, wide range of tones in there, cool blue LED. I dont need any more pedals.....:

Really, I dont. But the cool cat metal looks nice..wonder if they'll do a tuner? or a flanger, or a compressor, or an EQ.....................

[Buzzo]

I amo interested in the fuzz, also the pedal board looks cool. I wonder if it would fit my other pedals.

I picked up a Cool Cat drive pedal a couple weeks ago and have been pretty pleased with it so far. For the modest price of $32.50 CDN... how can you go wrong.

I think if you can get your hands on one you will be glad you did :
Now I'm heading out to make some noise with it!
Cheers

[Robert****]

Yeah, it is a cool pedal. So is the Transparent Overdrive, really sweet blues and country pedal.
