Once upon a time there was a Tube Screamer. Then there were thousands of variants. Tube Screamers and their variants are well known for touch sensitivity and amazing tone. The Tree of Life Overdrive takes this circuit a step further adding various tonal 'improvements' (tone is always in the ear of the beholder) courtesy of the absolute BEST capacitor values chosen to get the maximum use of this incredible circuit.The Tree of Life was created to be a low to mid-gain drive. That beautiful tone is courtesy of the infamous JRC4558 chip. The addition of the 'shimmer' control lets you dial in the high end without that annoying 'pierce' and lets you use or lose the TS mid-hump. Some people have said that the Tree of Life can sound like a cranked up Vox'_ you be the judge. We just think it sounds awesome.Controls include Volume, Gain, Tone Cut and Shimmer.Geekery:True Bypass switchingJRC 4558 IC chipSwitchcraft JacksAlpha potsHigh quality, 1% tolerance resistorsHigh quality film capacitorsHandwired, hand-stamped, hand-paintedNegative center, 9V BOSS* style DC power
