Selling an Electro-Harmonix Germanium OD. This is a discontinued vintage style overdrive built around a classic '60s germanium transistor (the sought after NKT275), so it has that warm, organic character you do not really get from modern silicon drives.
.
It has three knobs, Gain, Bias, and Volts. The Gain sets your drive, the Bias dials in the attack and feel, and the Volts lets you simulate a dying battery for that saggy, slightly torn speaker sound. Where I find it really shines is gain staging. It is not really meant to be your main distortion on its own, but it is excellent for pushing a little extra gain and volume into a guitar solo and then dropping back to your normal tone. The Bias and Volts also let you subtly reshape your tone from one section to another, which makes it great for recording when you want a different flavor quick and easy.
.
It is in good working condition. The only reason I am letting it go is that it does not fit on my board anymore and I am not reaching for it as much in the studio.
