Ahh, sweet! What time did you go down? I shot straight down at about 11.30am yesterday, after reading your tip-off. How's the tuners on your guitar? Mine has its own 6 minds and I think I will change them out soon.

Maybe I got a Monday blues guitar, the fretboard is also losing its colour and giving my fingers a henna tattoo. But its all good otherwise, especially since I've changed out the machine heads to something stronger. And since I was there, and it was pouring cats and dogs outside, I tested a bunch of pedals and brought this baby home:
Was initially intrigued by the Paradise Drive and the Wampler Hot-Wired, but I never really had a pure O/D pedal and this one snared me almost immediately. I used the Aria DM380 with the Tesla P90 and it gave me a real good kick! Lovely lovely!

good to see a fellow Montreux user; i bought the Knebworth (as seen above).

Cool as heck! In fact, I only heard about the Montreux series from your poisonous blog! 
I didn't have the chance to testdrive the Knebworth as I think Mike had sold them all off. I did have the chance to test the Wampler Hot-Wired, Montreux Paradise Drive and of course the Screamin' Lady.
The Hot-Wired (HW) gives a nice full-bodied distortion and the O/D was warm. Playing some chords on the O/D mode gave a nice 60's rock feel. I enjoyed chugging along because it wasn't trebly, so could just chug on. The distortion mode though, was fabulous and meaty. Shiokadoo. I felt the distortion although feeling really good and "analog-ish", I was afraid it was too similar to my GT-500.
The Paradise Drive had a slightly more clear-cutting distortion, which Mike referred to as somewhat modern J-Rock style. Initial impression was one of "wow, this sounds damn good and bitey!", but as I play more classic rock and blues-rock, I asked Mike for something more suitable. Now that I think about it, I've not heard a clearer, sharper distortion without it being shrill. Hmm.
And out came the Screamin' Lady (SL). Within a minute, this was it! The sound I was hunting for, the "rounded" overdrive sound that can be played clearly with chords, 2 note chords and beefy power chord rhythms. With the option of a pre-gain, it made for a really powerful O/D. When I came home, I combined the SL with my amp's overdrive and lo! An interesting high gain distortion! Still lots to experiment with, especially since the SL has a 3-way toggle switch which I still am not too sure what it does. Doesn't come with a manual and the website has minimum explanation, but nothing a bit of fiddling around wouldn't solve. All in, I'm glad I picked the SL. It suits what I'm playing and is THE sound in my head. Watch out for lots of pedals being sold in the classifieds soon! Haha!
Apologies for the long-winded and potentially inaccurate review. Make of it what you will!
Cheers!

Hi Tackline, I've not really heard the TS in action, just chugged it for about a few strokes some time ago. Mike did mentioned that this Screamin' Lady sounds very much like a modded TS. What a modded TS sounds like, I don't know too! But so far, I am smitten with this SL. Perhaps I'll find a way to put a sound clip, comparing the SL with the O/D on the GT-500, and with whatever I've got! But all this will have to wait, I'll be out of town from tmr onwards for a week.

Hi guys, I did make some sound clips via the Zoom H1, but am unable to transfer the files out from the recorder. The computer says device is malfunctioning and windows does not recognize this item. I tried to hunt for a driver but it says no driver required. Hmm...anybody can help please? Thanks!

bro- remove the SD card from your H1 & plug that into your computer, less problematic this way.

*Forgot there was a Pedalboard pictures thread when i posted this. Paiseh!*
