What's the second footswitch do?  Gain bump?  Volume boost?

It adds body is the best way I can describe it.

It's about like a 'fat' switch. Bit more gain, volume and body.

Damn. Do really need another pedal like this but you just sold me. Just ordered one.

Can we expect more pedals in the future from apetone?


Yeah, I have more than a couple ideas cooking. Hopefully they won't all take me a year like this one.

Just ordered a PCB.  I'm all about low to medium gain overdrives for classic rock and modern country.  Now, I just need to get the parts I don't have from Smallbear!   :D


Funny you say that. I'd like to hear someone who can play country through this thing. I only have a few country tricks in my bag, but I have a feeling this thing would be perfect for that, too.

Modern (alt) country is in many ways a lot like 70s southern rock (a la Lynyrd Skynyrd), so a bit of overdrive but not as much as classic rock.  I like to have some low, mid-range, gritty overdrive for country solos and for rhythm guitar on southern rock-type songs.  I think the Cascadia should fill that role nicely - looking forward to building it!


Yeah, 'Gimme 3 steps' was one of the songs I'd test with, since it's in the grit zone. The faux pedal-steel bends sound spot-on.

Ok then...

Hey Jason.... can you tell me what size lock washers you use for the In/Out jacks and possibly where you source them?

Smallbear's 'lock washers for audio jacks'
