Cusack is a sleeper pedal. It's one of the best TS type pedals ever made.
 
congrats. I don't know much about the Cusack, but I have the Savage Drive and love it. It is always on in front of my KSR Artemis and fits it well. I pretty much run with Dirt around 11, and Volume around noon (give or take a few clicks) and Bite around 1-2:00 and Tight around 9-10:00. It just works so well.

Really love to hear you compare both of these into the same amps. I've had the Cusack, awesome pedal. Thinking on getting the Savage Drive.... :rock:
 
Cusack Screamer, by FAR my favorite OD ever. Nothing else comes close for me. It sounds great with EVERYTHING!

I would love to do a video, but the Samsung Galaxy 5 is not so great. I have not had much time with both together but I do know the Savage Drive can get heavier tones and is more METAL than the Cusack without being overly compressed (Cusack is not overly compressed either) and the Cusack is a way more improved version of the TS plus more. Both are killer pedals. I will sit down with both this weekend.
 
I have the Cusack V2. It's the orange one with yellow knobs. Sounds great as a boost alone or to push another pedal. That and the Koko are my go to OD's.

I agree. The Cusack V2 is a killer pedal!!! I also have a Koko Boost original version. Another great pedal!
 
These two pedal were on my radar for a while . Do they belong in the TS family ? Right now I`m really enjoying the OD808 and full size Spark Boost set as clean boosts but I`m always looking for the next cool pedal
 
I'm very interested in both these pedals as a possible boost for my Soldano Avenger.....I'm a boost pedal junkie.
 
I've been looking to add the Screamer to boost my JCM800.

I already have a Boss SD-1 and I think it will complement it well.

Yes, it will.
 
I've owned many of overdrives and right now all I have is the Jcollocia Horus and the Savage drive. The savage drive is excellent for C tuning or lower as it really is more clear and tight on the lower freq.
Horus is more organic sounding and sounds better with D or higher.

I like them both though cuz they are quiet. I had a Misha protone pedal. My golly, the noise was crazy.
 
I really have to try a cusack but I am torn on which model. The V1 or the V2 etc. How much difference does the mini switch make in the overall tone shaping? I recently got the chance to try a savage drive and I liked it mostly but there's a sort of "sizzle" to the tone that bugs me. I couldn't seem to tweak it out with any of the knobs either. It cuts through a mix super well but I think I prefer the dead horse.
 
Cusak V2 here, it sent all the other OD's I had packing. The mini-toggle on it I find very responsive.
 
Congrats...It's all I use for boosting my jmp... best pedal around...

Hey Vince, check out a J Rockett Archer with your JMP. It sounds even better than the Cusack. :yes:
