Had I seen this earlier, while I was out and about in town, I could have stopped by his shop to ask.

I was referring to the 30 videos about it that showed up in my YouTube subscription feed this morning.

I haven’t watched any of the other vids on it. Is it just a completely independent TS and OD1 in one enclosure or is there some secret sauce being able to combine certain aspects of them?

Combination and how the tone and drive stacks are affected by either toggle on OD or TS. Also I think it has the option to turn off true bypass to avoid the POP when disengaging on the board with certain setups.

You can select between TS/OD tone stacks and clipping.

I LOVE the cosmetics of it. Based on the size of the switch the enclosure looks pretty sleek.

That’s kinda cool. (And I dig the aesthetics, ya know for the toanz)

Apparently that is Keeley’s original enclosure design, which I imagine will eventually be adopted by his other pedals.

I really dig it. Especially the enclosure.

I've been listening to some demos, and honestly nothing is really jumping out at me with this one. Build quality looks great. And it sounds decent and all, but nothing really unique. Maybe I've just been spoiled by my Vox pedals, they sound so good.

I really want a Protein Drive. I think the Nobels is my ideal mid gain drive and then the Bluesbreaker side would be a nice boost.

On looks alone; this thing is killer. I have zero desire for another TS variant though

Same. Having a Green Rhino MKIV that covers more than enough TS territory and beyond, did it for me.

 

[Achilles]

This one's on my radar for OD/Drive for obvious reasons.

Said no pedal manufacturer ever.

This one is at least somewhat interesting being able to mix and match the tone stack and clipping between the two. I also don’t get the urge to vomit when Keeley releases something, unlike others.

My friend lived in a an Apartment Complex while we were in High School and one of his
neighbors was a rather attractive young lady in her 20s, and in the Summer we'd hang
out along the sidewalks in front of his place and listen to her engage her Noble Screamer.

I couldn't believe how great it sounded until I heard it.... er.... her.... in person.
