Check Out This Pedalboard

So recently I stumbled across a jazz guitarist called Nir Felder, he's really cool and I'd definitely recommend checking him out as his music boarders very close to alternate rock/indie/post-rock music so is really cool and accessible.

What's also cool is that he plays a strat into a polytone (basically what sound I use!).

But I've been looking at his pedalboard to try and work out how he's getting some of his sounds.

I can see:

Boss Delay
Line 6 Verbzilla
Boss Trem
Keeley? Modded Tube Screamer
Boss Tuner
Boss Looper
Line 6 DL4
???Mystery Pedal???

I had a clone once, it sounded really good.

What kind of pedal is it? I'm guessing it can work as an overdrive as Nir uses polytones which would sound naff if boosted. Ooh maybe one side is an always on boost for the strat and then the other side kicks it up to overdrive?

I think it'd be a cool pedal to try out.

It's two footswitchable SHO's with a master volume.

I've been interested in one, since my preamp doesn't take distortions too well, but loves being boosted.

It'd be pretty simple to build too.

Running the 2 SHO's together produces a really nice overdriven sound - but there's no tone control. I'm sure you could get hold of a clone fairly easily, so you don't have to pay zvex prices.

I found out after the fact that my "internet" overdrive is essentially 3 "super hard ons" in series, but you can switch the middle one in and out.
*edit* not the same circuit(s) just the same concept.
