So I've played around with it a bit more, and yeah it is good, but you really have to crank your amp to hear it sing. Which i guess is fairly standard with solid state pedals into valve amps.
I have a Jetter JetDrive too and the blue side of that which is sort of British voiced sounds fairly similar. I was really hyped about that too after watching videos but once I got it in my room on my amp I was disappointed.
The Carpe does have something to it though; difficult to describe. The most surprising thing about it is that it does low transparent gain really nicely! And I wanted one as a high gain option, haha.
I need to play with it more, crank the amp a bit, do some recording, etc before I properly get the measure of it. Also my amp is doing some weird crackling, I think one of the power tubes has a loose connection, so I don't really trust anything I'm hearing at the moment!

You can get a very full mid sound or you can roll the bass off entirely, crank the presence and get that raspy Marshall sound too. I noticed the EQ on TPS too; but I think that show is mixed quite dark anyway; for example they're always playing the bridge pickups and they never ever sound harsh, whereas I hate bridge p'ups because they're so harsh in real life! I could just have shit ones though
Funnily enough, the Carpe Diem sounds very similar to the blue (right) side of my Jetter Jet Drive. The Jet Drive is a double OD with american voicing on the left side and british voicing on the right. The Carpe Diem has fuller bass and mids though; and a lot more gain on tap. If you were after a MIAB theres a thread in the classifieds with a Jetter 45/100 here: http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/79870/fs-a-boatload-of-boutique-pedals - i'd grab that if I were you, the Jetter pedals are great and you don't see them very often. If I didnt have the CD i'd be snapping that up!

So I was going to return it but thought I'd offer it up here first in case anyone wants one? PM if interested
Potentially how much were they?
