JOE GORE
CULT
GERMANIUM
OVERDRIVE
Joe Gore is everybody’s favorite
guitar writer and blogger, as well as
a highly accomplished musician that
has played with Tom Waits, PJ Harvey,
and many other singular artists.
He’s also a pedal designer now,
and his company’s initial offerings
have proven to be both impressive
and intriguing, referencing familiar
designs while also venturing boldly
out into unexplored tonal territory.
The Cult Germanium Overdrive
(yes, another one knob dirt box!)
caught my fancy for its elegant
simplicity, gutsy tones, and extreme
dynamic response. Seriously, the
Cult’s dynamic range is freakin’
ridiculous! It does sparkling, mostly
clean sounds as well as a vicious,
full throated bark, and everything
in between. If you have a close
relationship with your guitar’s
volume knob and a hankering for
something new and different, Joe
Gore’s Cult Germanium Overdrive
will prove to be a very inspiring
musical companion.
