KarDian: Nitroglycerin C3H5N3O9 OD/Distortion (small speaker amp sim!)

Global: kardian.net/co...
Australia: gsus4.com.au/c...
My third demo for KarDian, Japan, this features the C3H5N3O9 overdrive which does a fine job of turning any given amp platform into something resembling an angry 8" speaker equipped combo, with tendencies toward the old Fenders. I found during this demo (it's on the record - this video) that it makes a pretty neat preamp/amp sim that can be run direct to an IR as well. Rock!

That is damned tasty. Great playing as well. Around the 6 minute mark it really slays! Love the way the pedal looks too, I've got an early 80's MXR pedal that looks pretty much like that.

Hey man, great content, great playing, informative yet not boring, just wanted to relay it

[@BrettKingman]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Happy Christmas to you!

[@JoeYello]

Sounds great!!

There seems to be no end to builders putting out overdrive/distortion/boost pedals. I wonder how any of them make money with so much competition. Especially given how folks such as yourself, make them all sound good.

Hey Brett...Merry Christmas from Waco Tx U.S.A. these last three pedals have been very good. My regards to the family. Hope all are well. Would love to meet you in person and catch a live show one day. Invitation is still open to hit the Austin music scene.

[@BrettKingman]

Thanks, Toney. All the best to the Davis family. Thanks for your support during 2022. I wish you all the best for 2023.

Hi, Brett, man! It’s another ds, maybe overdrive, not hi gain …

[@BrettKingman]

Yes. But it has some filtering to help it simulate a small, overdriven combo.

That's a capital O, not a zero, for "Oxygen".

Thanks!
