Who's The Boss?

I bought this over 2 weeks ago from somebody who's obviously insane.The reason I say that is,why would somebody want to sell this pedal?I've been playing for over 30 years,and I've used Digitech,Pro-Co Rat,Morley,Alesis,etc. and all I can say is that this is the best overdrive/distortion pedal that I hve had the pleasure of owning.It's that good.You can go from a bluesy type tone to straight out metal,contrary to what other people say in their reviews of this product.The metal casing is quite sturdy and the controls are very easy to get used to.This is one versatile pedal,let me tell yu.This has a permanent place in my rig and is going nowhere.

My reson for selecting the pedal was that i wanted something to give me enough drive to compensate for heavier playing, but also that could handle a small boost to enhance the character of the sound of my instruments. The two circuits, od and dist, do a decent job of mixing together. You can achieve many sounds from a subtle drive boost to over the top grunge. If you are looking for drive with the option of more gain, I would give this pedal a look see.

It's ok if overdrive doesn't define your style

I got this pedal a while back because it was reasonably priced and has both overdrive and distortion. It has been good for my needs up til now but I'm switching to something else. This one just doesn't have enough control. You just have the knob from OD to distortion and can't control the effects separately. If overdrive/distortion is just one pedal in a long string of effects then it's fine. But if you are really trying to play something that relies on dialing in that specific OD to distortion ratio (Blues, Indie, etc) I would recommend going elsewhere. I'm about to get the Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde and I think it will be much more suited to my needs.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
