Lovetone Brown Source Model Overdrive Effect (1997), made in England, serial # BS 0204. Born in 1995 in , Lovetone FX began as the project of Dan Coggins and Vlad Naslas. Lovetone is credited as being one of the major players in the beginning of the boutique guitar pedal boom. Musicians had grown tired of the fairly simple, sometimes mundane stompboxes and largely inaccessible major rackmounted effect options on the market, and developers like Lovetone saw an opportunity. They decided to fill their giant aluminum enclosures with some of the weirdest and most colorfully named offerings for the modern guitarist looking to experiment.

The company ceased production in 2001, just after the release of their final and coveted invention, the ? Flanger with No Name. Dan Coggins continued the stewardship and maintenance of the Lovetone line on his own as Dinosaural, passing ownership back to Naslas in 2009 and returning again in 2013 as Coggins Audio. The two have since also collaborated with Thorpy FX to make updated (and certainly smaller!) iterations of some classic circuits to the modern boutique market.

While players across genres and generations enjoyed the Lovetone pedals, the 1990's provenance and acclaim the line made them popular with fuzzed-out rock and shoegaze icons like Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr., and the Greenwoods of Radiohead. The Brown Source in particular can also be heard on many U2 recordings.

Perhaps the least whimsical but most utilitarian Lovetone offering, the Brown Source is a dirt pedal aiming to emulate the thick, rich overdrives of the 60's and 70's. The simple but versatile pedal offers more of a throaty roar than a tighter, more nasally fuzz and lends its use to any instrument that needs a little body or crunch. Coggins intended it to be a simple one-stop tone shop for the live guitarist, or a useful studio tool with a surprisingly wide range of use, from cranked amp rumble to harmonics emphasis to a little tubey warmth on a studio mix. Lovetone would later make the Cheese Source, a big-box dual pedal combining the circuits of the Big Cheese fuzz and the Brown Source overdrive.
 
Height is 5 1/2 in. (14 cm.), 5 5/8 in. (14.3 cm.) width, and 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm.) in depth at deepest point. This Brown Source has some minor cosmetic wear, with minimal scratches on the sides where it was likely nestled in on a pedalboard for years alongside its other Lovetone compatriots. The knobs are all original on clean original pots, and the original stomp can be used as an aide to swing open the trapdoor enclosure which opens from the bottom to reveal the date and serial number, as well as the PCB within that is fully unaltered.

The pedal comes with its original instruction document but lacks the original box and power supply. It runs off of a 9V battery via snap inside, or off a 9V power adapter with the 3.5mm jack, less commonly found today but a popular choice for pedals of this era. Overall Excellent - Condition.

Very soft and cozy
Color: Grey, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
I bought this for the bed, but the second it arrived my husband claimed it. It is so incredibly soft and cozy, but lightweight enough that you don't overheat. The grey color looks great with our decor, and I love that it doesn't get static- like other fleece blankets. It also washed really well and didn't shed at all.

Like to snuggle up in soft warm blankets? This one's for you
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
I purchased this after the one I had previously received as a gift was ruined. That's how much I love this blanket. It doesn't get that weird rougher texture after washing that some of these fleece blankets get. It's ridiculously soft and so warm and comforrtable. The sizing is totally accurate and I slept like a toasty warm baby using this product. It's a blanket so use is self explanatory. Put it on your bed or couch or wherever you want and snuggle in for warmth and comfort. It's a very high quality product for a very reasonable, even affordable price. If you like high quality products that everyone can afford then this is the blanket for you. This even improved the quality of my sleep. It does have some stretch, but it's not overly stretchy. Believe me, this blanket would be a welcome addition to your home.

Very good but not amazing
Color: Bright Gold, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
Not the most amazing blanket possible but pretty close. The only negative I can think of is that it's a bit thinner than I expected, besides that it is quite comfortable, smooth, soft and visually appealing.

SO SOFT & cozy without being super heavy
Color: Grey, Size: California King (102" X 96")
I’m picky about blankets because some fleece ones either feel cheap or make you way too hot, but this one is actually really nice. It’s really soft, washes well, and has that cozy feel without feeling overly thick or heavy. I got the California King size and it’s actually big enough to fully cover the bed without constantly fighting for blanket.

My perfect summer blanket
Color: Grey, Size: King (108" x 90")
I had 0 expectations for this blanket and I was pleasantly surprised. This blanket is very lightweight, much like the novelty throw blankets you find in the kids section. It's very soft, compared to chinchilla fur. Incredibly soft and it didn't make me hot. Nor did it keep me cool. For me, it's the perfect blanket for summer weather. So far, the quality seems really nice and it fits my needs as a king size.
