Shannon Od

Just received my Shannon Overdrive pedal on Monday from Telesonic. I know so much good stuff has already been said about this pedal, but I'm gonna praise it some more.

This pedal rocks! The minute I plugged it into my chain and turned it on I was able to get a gorgeous, smooth breakup. Turn up the gain and you get some nice sustain and smooth-yet-powerful overdrive. With the gain turned all the way down, you get a pretty nice "clean" boost with a little bit of bite to it.

Overall this pedal brought my setup to life and made my guitar sound so much better than before. Best OD pedal I've ever owned! Way to go Telesonic!

    when you're ready to start hiring employees Mr. Shannon, let me know :)
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    thanks jeremy! glad that it fits into your setup well. keep it rockin'!

    paco, you're at the top of my list buddy. hell, i hope to grow this thing enough to hire all of you. its a bitch right now trying to do all this myself while working a full-time job. things have picked up a bit lately. i've got an online dealer now.
    http://www.tonefactor.com - i finally took the time to write out some product descriptions. i hope i made them sound enticing. now i just need to put them on my site. haha.
    i've learned that selling direct is the way i need to go about this though. guitar gear retail differs a hell of a lot from general retail, because the dealer has significant control over the profit they make. Unless they're dealing with a big company like boss or ibanez. but having a few dealers is good right now considering the exposure i get. but by going direct, i can offer a better deal. i just can't advertise for less on my site than what i've set my dealers at.

    62, take your time man. got your pm, sorry to hear the news. i've already set one aside for you. just let me know.
    my life...you electrify my life. let's conspire to reignite...all the souls that would die just feel alive.

    I'm actually thinking of selling the Keeley Rat to make room for the Shannon Distortion. I think I want the smoother tone that judging by the make up and what I know from your stuff already the Shannon would provide.

    no need to test it. I know from the OD and the description what it's like. I'll need to sell the rat first though.

    The three modes on the rat are cool, but I think I'd like the way you'rs reacts as a #2 (gain) pedal.

    yeah, commission can be in-store credit. a house band would be a must, paco. how about 'the flux capacitors'? i'll play lead kazoo. 1.21 gigawatts!

    What about "RC4558P"?

    That would be a great name for a band... well, a band from this message board...
