The sonic edge looks good. I checked it out. I want something that is simple 9 or 18 volt too.
I know the Shiva has enough gain. On the clean channel I use a BOR and love it.
One channel 2 I wanted something to tightenit slighly and flavor if you will.
When I use my OCD or BB it's too much. Meaning the BB has to much of a mid hump and To comptessed, loses some bottom. The OCD is kind of brash and too much. The BOR sounds good but adds too much low mids. I tried a Cusack v2 and I don't like the hard mid hump and thinning.
I was thinking Lovepedal Kalamazoo, very similar to a Klon, the sonic edge, maybe a Timmy or Small Fry? The Xotic AC sounds cool too. Not too compressed nor too powerful. Maybe a miłd OD to tighten with a small mid hump or one with mid switch.
Sorry if this has typos doing it on my phone. Lol
