The Little Devil Colored Boost and Germanium Drive pedals, as with most Chandler products, were
designed to fill a need and a sound I had in my own head. I had become increasingly unhappy with
my old amps needing more flexibility and that the pedals I had could not do the job. Too many times I
had put a pedal on my $4000 Marshall, that I had saved my whole life to get, only to be disappointed and
have an unusable tone.
Both pedals are designed to take the tone you have and get the most from it. They are not “clean boosts”
by any extent of the imagination but they are not meant to be soggy, “I might use this once every six
months,” type of fuzz pedals either. They are full, colored, Class A tone that are variable from slight fuzz
to tight in your face plexi, from sweet singing Tele to overdriven blues.
In the shop during testing we used a variety of classic and modern amps to assure we delivered in many
situations from country, blues, and classic rock to full on metal and pop-punk.
Here is a list of amps we used to test:
Selmer Stadium (modded by wade)
Selmer TV12
Selmer Bassmaster (early Treble n Bass 50)
Marshall PA100
Marshall 1974x reissue
Vox AC30
Vox AC10
Watkins Dominator
Peavey 5150 (early version)
Mesa Dual Rectifier (early version)
Fender Champ (blackface)
Matchless Chieftan
Peavey Classic 20
Laney GH100
Park 100 watt
Each amp takes the pedals in its own way and we found the pedals interacted with in subtle but
interesting fashion, loading each in its own way. On modern high gain amps we found ourselves
using less gain just to be able to kick the pedal on and pickup some of its flavor and tight tone.
