This one made my job easy because it just sounds so good. The Appaloosa Germanium Overdrive is one of four models currently offered by @b.f.analog (Bolt & Forge) which is essentially a one-man operation headed up by the very talented Jason Lilly of Yakima, WA. The Appaloosa is a light to medium gain overdrive that doesn't skimp on components, looks, sound or build quality. Honestly, if you're looking for a classy alternative to your standard 808 style boost/OD, this one ought to be considered as it can do what the TS does and SO much more. 10/10.
