Mod design by John Marshall, I believe he designed the Badlander.

Also, just buy a cheap OD pedal.

I believe John also designed the Triple Crown 100, which is a killer amp. Based on the limited information available online, the tight switch is probably a variation of that switch but dialed in for the rectifier circuit. Take that info with a grain of salt. It is just speculation.

GuitarBomb.com is also reporting it is a limited-run model. It's a great idea, but it would've been cool if they offered it in a custom color. I wouldn't go selling the house, the barn, or the chickens for it though. Like @Tone Monster said, "just buy a cheap OD pedal". It'll give you similar results.
