The Farm Pedals Casco Logger is an overdrive pedal, and a simple one: Pedal of the Day describes it as "a simple overdrive, it can be used as a great clean boost as well"1. It sits in the same territory as other overdrive pedals, covering everything from light boosting to heavier grit, and it can also be compared against dedicated boost pedals if a player only wants the clean end of its range.
The pedal comes in a burnt orange enclosure, and its name has a local story behind it: it is named after the old high school moniker in Casco, Maine, the Loggers1. Sales of the pedal support the maker's family farm, as Pedal of the Day notes: "sales from these pedals help keep the Hancock Family Farm in western Maine running strong and smooth"1.
What reviewers said
Pedal of the Day reviewed the Casco Logger in May 2017, and it was the first Farm Pedals pedal that publication had demoed and reviewed1. Their reviewer described the character of the pedal this way:
"It's a transparent yet gritty overdrive, capable of driving a tube amp with ease, but also giving solid state amps a tube-like sound and presence."
On the controls, the reviewer found the Gain knob especially flexible:
"The Gain has a big, wide open range, making it excellent for clean boosting and chunky overdrive tones alike."
The overall verdict was that the pedal is an "all-around excellent tone-shaper for just the sound you've been searching for," and the reviewer said "this simple orange box made quite an impression on us"1.
