Newly Minted Pedal Geek

I just ordered
a Divided By 13 Dyna-Ranger Pedal.... go here on youtube to check out how this little number sounds (courtesy Wild West Guitars). Go here also for more info on Divided By's site. Apparently used by none other than Mr Clapton. What I especially liked (as a newly minted pedal geek) is the original glass Mullard OC44 transistor in this puppy. It is also used by David Gilmore, Tony Iommi and Brian May. Going from position 1 to 5, it goes all the way from traditional treble booster to lower Sabbath tones (this straight from their site). It is the perfect sounding boost/ drive pedal... and I am a convert from hearing what they can do.
If you really want to go crazy... you can add extra resistors to your order (SKT275, CV7003, Metal OC44's) since there is a socket for the transistor, allowing you to swap them around... wow.
