Butah!

The CMATmods brand name started out as a hobby pedal modding by Chad Matthews but as it is with this indulgence, one tends to discover & want to manifest one's own ideas & reinterpret popular/ current offerings. The Butah pedal is a delicate drive generator, in the light of your fav Tubescreamer & BOSS OD3 units but what's the diff here?

I'm not much of a pedal person, I believe there shouldn't be anything in between the guitar & amp to rob one of this pure chemistry. The Butah is a very polite drive unit & has very little in store for a distortion-mad person like me so it serves me as it is- that crucial jangler for single coil tones. Yes, single coils, quasi-clean, save for the input of this gentle enhancer.

Say, are you that fanatical single coil proponent always bursting your head trying to figure out how Stevie Ray got that clean but driven tone from his Strat? Unlike SRV, we do not have the luxury of pairing up a TS10 with the Fender Twin to get this done. The Butah lets your single coil tones through & adds that signature jangle without the worry of having a magnificent boutique tube amp to let all this through. This is the very reason why I bought this pedal. A very rewarding purchase, indeed.
