German pedal manufacturers seem to be all the rage these days! Orion Effekte is a one-man boutique operation whose pedals are loved by noteworthy artists like Noveller among others. Sofa Jams just posted this demo of the Dakota Red II, a low gain overdrive and FET-clean boost they designed in collaboration with another German manufacturer called Twangtone that seems to deal with pickup and other guitar part components.
Order of overdrive and booster is changeable by a toggleswitch.
