Hey all.
I've a few local music stores selling these for £200. I've two units left over and in my personal possession which I need a quick sale on - I've no need for them and already keep a 3rd on my own pedalboard.
Open to any to offers - £150 for immediate purchase with free postage for any board members.
Here is a video demo:
Pics and Description Below. But I am sure many of you here on The Fretboard are well familiar with these pedals and all about them.
[b]Finally - here is the product description:[/b]
This hand made overdrive is a hot-rodded, modified version of the famous Pete Cornish G-2 Overdrive; the original of which was used by Dave Gilmour and others. The original G-2 is not available in shops and costs almost £500 to order.
The circuitry of the original is loosely based on that of the well known Muff overdrive series. This particular pedal's circuitry includes additional modifications to further max out all control ranges - allowing for wider tonal sweep and slightly increased gain, further maximising versatility. Hand soldered/wired. The circuitry's clipping sections are all upgraded with high quality Schottky BAT41 diodes (Hence the name, Bat-Drive). It also includes Panasonic and Greencap audio grade capacitors along with specially selected transistors.
Hand buffed, drilled, painted and lacquered aluminium enclosure with my own self-designed graphics.
Sounds & Operation:
Flight - This is a gain control which also unlocks the pedals impressive sustain capabilities. At higher settings notes can ring out for extremely long periods of time.
Night/Day - This is a highly versatile tone control which allows you to access the large range of sounds the Bat-Drive has on offer. Full 'Day' settings allows for a natural, open sound with a little bit of added brightness and treble tightening. Higher gain settings at full 'Day' will give you modern rock rhythm and lead sounds. Closer to the 12 O'clock position, you can access vintage 70's style rock tones - Dark jazz and blues tones at lower gain. Full 'Night' settings allows you to access a darkness not commonly found in most Overdrives pedals. At lower gain settings this can give you gnarly, garage rock sounds reminiscent of White Stripes, Black Keys etc. At higher gain settings on a bridge single-coil; the 'Night' setting will give you a rolled-off tone sound akin to the Dark Side Of The Moon, Gilmour lead tone.
Experiment with more extreme settings - Turn the 'Flight' control up full, go full 'Night', then flip to a neck hum-bucker for grungy Stoner Rock and Sludge Metal.
Volume - This will need to be adjusted accordingly to your 'Flight' gain settings, and amplifier volume. With high 'Flight' settings, the volume will need to be rolled back to match the bypassed signal. There is also a lot of extra volume on tap so that this pedal may be used as a boost or amp driver, depending on the application.
Thanks for your time.
