I thought the Sick As sounded identical. But so did the Manticore (by ProAnalog Devices). So, of course I had to buy both to try them properly even if I was only going to keep one ;) Its this sort of behaviour that made me think we need a Pedal Library. The Sick As pedal can certainly mimic a Klon but its capable of much more, so much so that you could easily have two of them on your board doing completely different things. Ops, did I just suggest buying two of the same pedal?! Hahahaha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sick As Overdrive is a diversion from the well-worn path, taking its basic structure from the Klon Centaur® but with some major improvements for the modern player. The gain control serves a dual purpose— as the gain is increased, the ratio of gain-to-clean tone increases as well. This ensures that when the gain is rolled off, the tone never becomes muddy and unpleasant. You can control the amount of headroom and the character of the drive with the toggle switch. Choose from a more compressed, mid-range focused tone or an open, transparent, rhythm tone. The tone circuit is a powerful, two-band active EQ circuit capable of boosting or cutting the bass and treble frequencies up to 15dB for maximum versatility. The voltage is also boosted internally to 18V for increased clarity and headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean Boost, Overdrive or a blend of the two.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic and natural, responsive to your pick attack or volume knob.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternally boosted to 18 volts for maximum headroom and clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToggle switch controls the amount of headroom and character of the drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful active tonestack, capable of 15dB of boost or cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft touch true-bypass switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bondi Effects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51994242842904,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/5539\/7400\/files\/shopping.jpg?v=1777634581"},{"product_id":"megalodon-super-solo","title":"Megalodon Super Solo","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classics Range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Melbourne, Australia — this unit is early 2000s production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A clean boost and preamp — adds harmonic richness without distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual controls: Gain (bite\/harmonic drive) + Volume (output level)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt with 1970s New Old Stock (NOS) Class A drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest with a carbon 9V battery for optimal tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 10\/10 by US Guitar Player magazine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed by professional players across Australia and internationally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eUlbrick Megalodon Super Solo\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of Australia's most celebrated boutique pedals — and one of the most misunderstood.
