The heart of a classic amp inside Each pedal in the Character Series is loaded with the tonal DNA for a specific style of guitar amplifier. By simply twisting a few knobs, you can build those sought-after tones or hot rod your own. From rare vintage classics to roaring modern icons, every variation is delivered in the distinctive voicing of that amp style.

Each can be used as a standalone preamp to drive a power amp, a studio mixer, or a PA system, with the rich SansAmp cabinet emulation that sounds huge - even straight into a computer soundcard.

Ok, I own a POD X3 live and love it for what it can do, but when it comes to recording a guitar oriented track upfront in the mix all the digital modelers out there (yes I have owned them all) just s... read more [+]ound in fact digital.March 3, 2010 Music Background: Professional Session Guitarist, Private Guitar Instructor. Enter the TECH 21 Character Series. I own the "British" and the "Liverpool" and good lord do they nail the sounds direct. The character knob is amazing. Go left and you are in JTM45/Plexy heaven, go right and you are in JCM800 mayhem which nails anything that goes from Judas priest to late 80's hair metal. I have no other words to describe it. Going direct is amazing. It's warm, full and has a very full sound that will really breakthrough even in a heavy mix. I am recording my new album entirely with these pedals. close [-] Not an overdrive pedal to put in front of an amp!

Ok maybe I missed the point with this pedal, but it was sold to me as an overdrive pedal. I could coax a few good tones out of it but the boost it gave to my signal made it unuseable, the volume diffe... read more [+]rence between switched on and off was too great thru my clean amp plus it was very noisy. If you are looking for emulation (no amp) it may be perfect for that. But try it before you buy it if you want to put it in a pedal board! close [-]
