CP-31 Hot Spice - micro Jim Dunlop Crybaby wah CP-32 Clear Veil Overdrive - is a fuzz and overdrive CP-34 Head Room Vintage Distortion CP-36 Big Dipper pitch shift/octave/detune CP-37 Drifter Seven - 7mode digital delay w/analog emu CP-38 Lucky Seven - 7mode digital fx flanger/phaser/tremolo/vibrato/detune/Roland jazz amp chorus(?)/Uni-Vibe chorus CP-41 Ghost Rain - delay and reverb CP-43 Pegasus is a Klon Centaur clone tCP-46 Fuzzy Bear is a Dallas Arbiter Fuzzface but has BC549’s instead of Germanium transistors or the Silicon BC-108’s CP-47 Pressure Tank compressor CP-49 Midlander is an Ibanez Tubescreamer with RC4558 ICs CP-50 Central Station Leon Drive - Fulltone OCD distortion CP-54 Big Orange Crushing Overdrive is also an Xotic BB clone, i believe the newer Grizzly Bear or something pedal is another Fuzzface clone… CP-55 Central Station American Sound is a Fender gain channel and tonestack

CP-99 "Overdrive" was referred to as the Medusa in the Reverb listing, but that word is nowhere to be found on the pedal.(Gold with red print - graphic of what looks like a mermaid using a pointy metal guitar as an arrow in its bow)- supposedly a Klon, but I cracked one open and it's not a traditional Klon. They changed the pot values, used a different op amp, Lower voltage than the real Klon. Uses an inductor to achieve +12v rather than a charge pump.. I could not find any +18v in there. Sounds higher gain and more treble than a real Klon.

I'm pretty sure the Purple Smoke's (CP-22) clean boost is a unique design it's the secret sleeper pedal that does something that's not duped by anything else available out there effectively it's a hidden gem destined to be somewhat of a legend for the price it simply can't be beat for what it does. It offer's a special tone not just for guitarist's but for synths & mic boosting as well it's really quite an impressive stomp box folks.

The CP-504 M:Fuzz pedal is said to be an OpAmp V4 Big-Muff Pi. I own a 1990's V4 and Sovtek version of these and have played them for longer than many people reading this have been alive. It's neither of those. It's very very close, but is missing the sharp edge/bite of a real Big Muff. It's also an altered tone control with a sweep range that is useful all the way through 0 to dimed. Unlike the real Big Muff, the M:Fuzz's tone setup is more mid-range focused, where the original Muff muddies out. You will get a smoother, more sustainy melodic type tone with this than an original. Not a bad pedal at all. Will sit side by side with my real muff. This thing just does Fuzz a little differently. I'm willing to bet its some oddity Muff edition clone because it's definitely Muff'ish, just not OpAmp V4 or Sovtek for sure.

The CP-15 Tantrum pedal is supposedly a MESA BOOGIE pre-amp type clone. I purchased, plugged it into a JCM800 on low gain with presence and entire tone stack at 5. Through a PAF 50's wired LP Custom setup I personally thought it was a SLO50/100 type preamp tone. I looked it up, others say MESA BOOGIE. Either way, this thing seriously destroys. Some terrible YouTube video reviews and some good ones. With my setup I felt it sounded pretty much dead ringer to SLO. You decide, worth it, and extremely quiet for such high gain.
