This Drive Pedal Does It All - EarthQuaker Devices Palisades

Yesterday I thought I would treat myself to an early Christmas present by buying a new drive pedal. Upon entering my local music store which happens to be GuitarGuitar in Epsom Surrey UK, they had an Earthquaker Devices Palisades in the secondhand cabinet. I tried the EQD Palisades when it came out in about 2015 and I loved it, so as they are now discontinued, I decide to buy it.
Here is what EartQuaker Devices says about the Palisades.
The Palisades is something we said we would never do… an overdrive based on the legendary TS808! After loads of requests, we finally buckled. We ran tests with every popular clone on the market as well as several vintage originals, compared, contrasted and took loads of notes. It was exhausting but informative. In the end, we threw it all away, used our ears and came up with what we feel is the most versatile relative of the 808 available today.
With 6 different clipping voices, 5 bandwidth settings and 2 gain channels, you will be hard-pressed to not find a setting that will wipe every mid-boosting overdrive off your board. The Palisades is a versatile dude that will give you years of loving companionship.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.
