I just ordered the Signa Drive and won the basic compressor on e-bay.

The sound clips did it for me, that and the fantastic reviews.

Anyone here using any of his stuff ?

The catmods compressor got here today.

I've been using a route 66 comp/overdrive, great sounding comp but lots of noise !!! hiss city !!!

The catmods has the tone and so so much more, got all the tone and so many more options and absolutely dead quiet.

No blanket over your amp sound here, with the tone controll and the level you can go wherever you want.

Can't wait for the signa drive to get here, the sound clips on his web site are out of this world.

here is a picture of my rig (so far)

congrats.

What's plugged into both channels, or is it different volume levels with an A/B pedal?

Hey I just sold a dual showman silverface that had the twin 15" JBL 140's in it.

Nice tone for sure !

I use one of the inputs to hold my guitar cord, keeps it off the floor.

The cmatmods Signa Drive showed up today.

All I can say is if you get a chance plug in to one of these pedals and spend about 30 minutes running through the three toggle possitions from low gain to high.

Every great overdriven tone you can imagine and dead quiet.

At low gain its a boost pedal at high gain its a storehouse of overdrive bliss.

www.cmatmods.com

Check out the sound clips on his site !!!

The top and middle toggle possition are my favorites so far.

I have not purchased any of pedals that Chad Matthews (cmatmods) has begun producing of late, but he did do the mods on my Boss compressor, EQ, Blues Driver, Digital Delay, and Overdrive pedal. He took noisy, so-so sounding pedals, and turned them into boutique pedals. (A Boss boutique pedal??? How's that for any oxymoron???)

I, like you Blues Bondsman, am blown away at the quality of his work, and sound that Chad was able to get out of those Boss pedals. Dead quiet, no hissing, and tone like there is no tomorrow. Chad is also a real good guy, and I wish him well with his brand of pedals.

Hey Grover
Thats how I got hooked up with him, trying to get a cheap OD pedal madded.

Then I ended up buying two of his hand made pedals.

The Signa Drive is the very best pedal I have ever used !!!
