nice, i'm really interested in this pedal.
does it give a fender amp more of a vox chime and breakup? how would you describe the sound?
The question is 18v or 9v...
The wait is killing me!
So are we looking at an overdrive or a fuzz here? Love old Ampegs so my curiosity is peaked, but I'm not entirely sure where this one falls.
Its an overdrive designed for bass and guitar - quite a lot of gain on tap, but I don't think it quite makes it to fuzzland.

Care to draw any comparisons/differences between the SFT & HBOD?
Both pedals are highly input sensitive and have a great feel. The SFT's EQ has great versatility, and it has a huge gain range. The HBOD has far, far less gain and a versatile, yet unconventional tone control (the nature knob).
To my ears, the SFT has a much more muscular, aggressive tone than the HBOD, even at low gain levels. The HBOD has a sweet rounded tone, even at full grind, where the SFT has a bit more of an edge, especially with the treble dialed up.
If you want sweet, syrupy tweed grind, it doesn't get much better than the HBOD. But if you want rock and roll, the SFT is a much better choice.
