Great overdrive pedal!

Really nice versatile pedal. It has a nice rich, "creamy" tone.
by Sweetwater Customer on

Analogman Genius in an EHX enclosure & price point

Stunned and excited describes my response from the very first chord strummed... Given that this was designed and spec'd by Analogman, Mike Piera, I was expecting it to be good.... but, wow.... such incredible articulation and note separation! The mids were just right, no spike here, just rich harmonic content to make your notes bloom and sing... I've wanted this pedal for some time and a great friend decided I'd waited long enough and gifted me one hahaha... A truly genius & inspiring pedal... I've been building amps for going on 20 years and have also dabbled in building/mod'ing pedals for some time now. Do yourself a favor get this pedal and have fun making music with it! I know I'm having fun!!

My new favorite Screamer

This pedal in my opinion is just as good if not better than a tube screamer and it costs less! Works great for my uses going from tones that are gentle to Djentle.
by Garrett Leute from Colorado on

A real Tube Screamer pedal!

If you are looking for a tube screamer pedal that cuts through the mids well, fattens your sound and responds to dynamics, this is the best pedal for you. It's everything you can expect from a tube screamer and more. Don't let its price fool you, it's on par with the most expensive overdrives.
by Sweetwater Customer on

Very Happy

I first found this on line with comparative review of SRV-ish drives. After hearing the side by sides with others, I decided these were the tones I liked the best. Plugging it into my gear, I am even more pleased. If you like that snappy, slight crunch that is directly responsive to how you play this is your pedal. I especially like it with a single coil and love how the most subtle of fingering or picking differences allows you to add or subtract impact and gives a wide variety of tones. Highly recommend!
