you will love it - fantastic pedal.
Spud Drive is a new build by Waldo. Based on MXR 2000 series Distortion + that Jerry used from '83 to '87

It wasn’t cranked to the point of jfet distortion.

Even though Jerry didn't use a compressor, at stage volume there is output transformer saturation, power supply sag, and speaker compression all happening. And I need a bit more harmonic content.Very good line of thinking. Rarely do folks talk on how to overcome the factors in JG's intense volume and speaker movement in a quieter setting.
