Hardwire: CM-2 Tube Overdrive

I bought the CM-2 (after a recent try-out). As pictured, the package includes:

• the pedal itself (duh!)
• a STOMPLOCK contraption
• velcro sheet

Tone-wise, the CM-2 is ear candy. We should stop making comparisons to all things green & bearing the overdrive label, to the Ibanez TS9 but the manufacturers can't stop manufacturing units in this light, so it's not our fault, really. What I dislike about it is its lack of midrange control but I'm not one who forsake a good pedal on grounds of personal disliking. In any case, the 2 modes on offer here, Classic/ Modified, add some colouring to the midrange so that's a consolation. This insclusion also addresses the popular buy-&-mod culture among pedal geeks here so the Digitech folks got that covered. Kudos to the inclusion of the velcro sheet- Digitech folks somehow know we own pedalboards...

If you're still wondering what the STOMLOCK accessory is all about, it's a control panel cover, to protect your settings during play. This is for those of us who like a particular setting for our pedals & do not wish to meddle with the prescribed tone any further during performances- not many of us are like that, yes?
