I've had Supro amps, I've had several Supro style pedals. This is the real thing. 9v sounds thin, 18v it comes to life. I've been struggling to find the right drive pedal for my Jaguar and finally this little guy made it happen. I've had the Supro tremolo on my board for years. Always on, just for the warmth it brings from its preamp, the drive pedal fits perfectly in. I really believe the transformer is where the magic is. Look up how they actually work with the sound, it changes things in the best way. Kudos Supro for boxing up this sound in an affordable pedal.

I love being able to control the amount of gain with an expression pedal. I can adjust overdrive levels while playing live. This pedal gets a perfect overdrive tone. I didn't like having to time hitting a pedal perfectly with the tempo of a song, it takes my mind off my playing, and there was an abrupt change. Using a expression pedal is way more forgiving and blends your changes from verse to chorus to solo.

What can you say about Sweetwater and the level of customer service? Top notch for years and still the go to one. Owner of the Coronado 35 watt 2x10 I'm ready for stage but too much for a home studio. I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this little blue box. What is this company doing to make killer gear in this age of cold synthetic simulation? Engaging the Supro Overdrive make the tone and volume nobs on the guitar work in a way I have never experienced in almost 45 years of rock. Wtf? Is this an amp or a stomp box? I have tried a 1970's Ibanez Les Paul, custom-made Tele and a $300 Epiphone Royal so far with stellar results. I have a 1969 echoplex that might make this classic rock
experience complete.

Really great overdrive. Works superbly with a clean or driven amp. Stacks with other pedals better than nearly any dirt box I've owned. Don't let the overdrive nomenclature fool you, it gets heavy, especially when pushed with another milder drive. Even on its own, it can get into fuzz territory. At first, running it in 9-volt mode, it was very nice, but a bit meh. As soon as I switched it to 18 volts, it was a whole other world... bolder, louder, more refined, and just all around more powerful and glorious. Has a great feel and is very responsive to your guitar's volume. Definitely a five-star pedal, but, and there's usually a but, there can be a touch too much bottom end at times, which the tone control can't dial out. Don't let that discourage you, it's not much, and sometimes is a welcomed addition, but I do wish there was a way to control it, with either an adjustable hp filter (ideally), or a switch for a slight roll off below 120 hZ. Just to be clear, even with the tiniest complaint, I'd buy it again and again as is.

I couldn't yet afford a Supro amp, so I chose this pedal. I was not disappointed in the least. I plugged in an 18v power supply and put this in front of a Roland JC-40 and the tone is absolutely stellar! Great vintage tone range, but I've mostly been playing it with the gain on 10 so far :) Also, the switch is ultra quiet, which is important to me.
