MYRTLE PEDALS
The Gardy Loo is a treble booster/overdriven/fuzz hybrid. Designed to give similar breakup characteristics to a small tweed amp or Vox style chime.
Knobs control the gain and to a certain extent the bias of two germanium transistors. While covering similar grounf you will hear subtle differences if the frist transistor is cranked and the second low than when doing the opposite.
The Switch on the side switched between full range and treble modes. In Treble mode the Gardy functions similarly to a Rangemaster but on steroids. Try out a neck humbucker/P90 with gain dialled back a bit on the guitar and up full on the pedal.
In Full range mode you can get more overdriven tones, vintage and contemporary. Think neil Young's cranked tweed amp sounds, Wilco, post rock aggression and even a bit of stonesy rythm.
The Gardy is sensitive to changes in pickups and volume at the guitar. The best sounds will be got by having it work in sympathy with your setup. Rather than overtaking your tone and forcing a single sound.

MYRTLE - GARDY LOO
MYRTLE - CORVID FUZZ
The Myrtle 'Corvid Fuzz' is a tweaked Coloursound Jumbo Tonebender, itself something of a relative to the Big Muff. The Corvid has less gain and clipping than a Muff to allow more definition in the low end.
Controls run Volume, Tone, Gain from left to right.
The switch on the side switches between mid-dipped and mid-flat modes. Losing mids in a typical Muff tone stack really hampers the attack on bass and aggressiveness of guitars. Mids flat rips out the swords and goes hunting for dragons basically.

MYRTLE - FOGGY BUMMER
This is a straight up Big Muff clone, named the Foggy Bummer for giggles. It's a Rams Head model up to the tone section which is based on a balance between Ram and modern NY model Muff. Also uses a combination of ceramic and modern Vishay caps, to make it dark and thundery but with a nice touch of the low end and clarity of the modern Muffs.Description coming soon!

MYRTLE - UBERDRIVER
The Myrtle Uberdriver is a Coloursound Overdriver clone played fairly straight. Careful attention has been paid to the capacitor selection to give a thickness and sweetness, rather than the slight muddiness that comes from using common brand caps.
Please be careful with the gain knob, the Uberdriver does like to let rip something fierce after around 2 or 3 o'clock. Hence the addition of the master volume not present on the original Overdriver. The fuzz sound that occurs can be altogether quite usable and "muff like", you'll find a good bit more mids present though.
