the overdrive is simply perfect. read all about it. i just recieved one from eric last week. (telesonic on the synergy board) not sure if he posts here or not!
anyways. its brilliant. my setup is a 62 reissue strat, gibson sg special, fender twin reverb II amp...
Boss tu-2
595qwah
boss cs 2 sustainer
mxr phase 90
boss tremolo
ibanez ad 9 delay
ibanez sonic distortion
shannon overdrive
this thing is sweet. the range of overdrive is phenomenal, from warm overdriven tube amp sound to a really really great rock overdrive/distortion. it does not take away the sound of the guitar/amp combo. it is sharp, crips, clean, dirty all at once. how do you describe a sound? you can't but i highly suggest it. as ive played wih all the distortion pedals you have, ts 808, ts 9 , ts 808 mods etc. this pedal easily surpasses them. tubescreamers sound "tinny" to me..if that word makes sense.
and i back up the shannon overdrive with the sonic distortion and provides with a perfectly heavy marshal crunch and great lead tone. the overdrive is the best investment ive made for my tone. it sounds great with both guitars.
A+++++ thanks eric.
grazi.
now you all should try it. easily tmy favorite overdrive pedal.

customer service like you wouldnt believe, since its him. let him know youre fromt hep j board and just talk with him. you guys will be able to work something out.
i highly suggest it. as anyone else who has one on here will too...
I found the OD to be very smooth sounding nice boost, and creamy fat overdrive. Similar to the TS-808 (JRC4558D op amp) but IMHO smoother and cleaner.
but also thicker, and creamier, warmer...
and for those that are worried...HEAVIER. turnt hat distortion up and it really packs a punch. turn it downand its just beautiful overdrive. great for solo's, ryhtym...up down, sidewise...you name it.
does anyone know what the distortion sounds like. im looking to get a very good distortion pedal.
I might do that. I'd like an OD to go with my Champ and since the euro is very strong against the dollar, this could be a bargain.
well think of it this way.
Ts808 to shannon od = amazing
the distortion's sound and design apparantly stems from the Ibanez sonic distortion which is amazing...so i imagine it being quite impressive, which once i have money i will order it....
I was originally looking into a TS9, but does this blow the TS9 out of the water?

He also gave Mike's tech a pedal or some type of setup at Grand Rapids, I wonder if anything ever came of that??

easily. Just the volume and clarity kill the TS-9 and you haven't even touched the gain knob yet. Harmonics are much more rich and full, the caps and other components used in the Shannon are much better and the build quality is far and above that of the TS-9
check out analogmans page, http://www.analogman.com/tshist.htm for more info on tube screamers and you can check out what his modifieds cost.
http://www.robertkeeley.com is another place to get info.
the phaser is bad-ass. and hopefully w/o getting in trouble I'll tell you I even got the (sssshhh) uni-vibe mod. AAHHHH! very cool to switch from a sweet phase to a uni-vibe in a split sec. sorry Eric...I had to tell. and my wife now thinks that It'd be a great x-mas gift so the mail carrier will be visiting you soon. peace

Like I've said before, and plenty of people before and after me, BUY THIS PEDAL. Worth the money and the quality far surpasses the crap you see at guitar center, etc...
