NPD Crimson Red

I took delivery this morning of a slim, blood red pedal from One Control.

My first thought was, huh? What's this all about? A kind of dull, low gain distortion with one more knob than it really needs. 

But then... Oof! I plugged it into my Elf, and through a set of decent headphones. This is a fat barsteward of a pedal. 

I can't describe the sound it creates, but I can compare it. Closest thing I ever heard like it was my Ampeg SVT CL.

My lukewarm response first time around was (I suspect) all about low volume levels (shared house) through my cab. I still don't know what will happen when I move a more respectable volume of air, but through headphones it sounded divine. 

There is still the question of that extra knob though. Mine has the word 'brilliance' written next to it. I wonder, do they all say that? Or do they, perhaps, have different names relating to light? Either way it makes literally zero difference to the sound.
