Review - Lovepedal Tchula
Maybe not the best known pedal in the world, the #Tchula is well worth checking out if you are into bluesy overdrives.

Sean at #Lovepedal made the original Tchula for Josh Smith, who is a guitarist you need to listen to. An incredible player with a real sense of timing and tone, with a huge knowledge of the blues, but also able to integrate beautiful jazz lines into his licks. You can find him on Jam Track Central - #JoshSmith has got some great lessons on there.
Now, the Tchula is based on the Church of Tone (CoT) pedal, which is simplicity itself: just one bias control which, in effect, changes the gain level. The Tchula has a two stage CoT circuit. The first is fixed to Josh's favourite position, which I believe is about 11 o'clock on the original CoT, and the second is controlled by the one and only dial. However, even this dial is different in range to the original CoT and goes from the minimum to the maximum of settings used by Josh.
