Ola's Solar Chug Tuner + ...ABY and Boost pedal. 3 pedals in 1?

[311boogieman]

Saw this thing for the first time in @harddriver 's DIME 40w Warhead thread so I decided to look into it.

It is a combo pedal that includes ABY / Boost / Tuner.

I was going to post it in @ZEEGLER 's ABY thread but figured it was unique enough to make a thread. Not saying it checks all the boxes and I've never tried one. Literally just looked the thing up. I mean, my MXR pedal does the trick but it doesn't have all the features. My only complaint is that I like my tuner and OD after my Wah and before my phaser but I think the features outweigh my pedal placement preferences.

$170

Specs:
PEDAL TYPE TUNER/BOOST
POWER CONNECTORS 5.33mm Barrel
POWER SUPPLY CPS9V500 (not included)
BATTERY None
INPUT JACK 1/4''
OUTPUT JACK 1/4''
INPUT OHM 1 MΩ
OUTPUT OHM < 2.5k Ω
OUTPUT LEVEL +20db
EQ High Pass @ 720hz & 1k
BYPASS Buffered Bypass
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS Split output w/Ground lift

Here is a few videos.

OLA's video:





Max Power's video. Never heard of the guy but he is evidently a straight Ola "Does it Chug" rip off, or maybe even a partner of Ola's

I guess I'm the only one that thinks this is cool/a great idea.

Oh well. I'm off to go see "Becoming Led Zeppelin" at an IMAX

Does it have a buffer for cable runs? One reason I love the Peterson Strobo and the Boss Waza is they both have really good buffers.

It’s just dual output, it doesn’t do other ABY functions. Nice idea to give OUT 2 a ground lift and to be able to make it sans buffer. Good toe in the water but it does immediately make you ask, how about a built in assignable gate? I could see a larger model with true ABY function and one or two extra goodies down the road.

Thanks for some feedback

I see it has buffered bypass but can't speak to cable runs?

Didn't catch the fact that it is not abY. I suppose that is good to know. I think for my basement efforts I could get by with just a splitter.

I like the gate idea.

Boost is pointless imo…. I have one on my wah that I have never used. Tuner slash aby with ground lift is cool but it’s like my temu tuner I got for twenty bucks from Amazon. Two lines and a buffer. I think . Mine was only 20 not $170… I’m assuming this, I have not watched the video. Get this-

And then shout at Wayne for a boost and you will still be in it for less. IMO

I've thought it would be cool if Boss came out with a UT-200 pedal. Just a TU-3, NS-2 and LS-2 in one pedal, with a switchable buffer and power outlets.

UT-200

Utility?

How about a Boss pedal with swappable circuits to save space on your board?
