There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When it comes to the gain, it easily goes from mild to wild, a lot of territory that it can easily cover, but my forte is Blues, in style of Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughan (far from playing like him, but at least I can sound like him), BB King, and Gary Moore.
Don't be fooled by the low price, it does much more than many other offerings out there, and has been around since 1978.
It sounds like a dream. There's definitely a lot to work with here.
I don't know what these other people mean by saying "mid-high or high-gain is only achievable with this".
I tested the pedal myself and adjusted the tone of it to produce lower frequencies and it sounded thick. I wouldn't ever use this for low, low sounds but, that's not to say that someone wouldn't.
If you're receiving a brighter sound out of it and want it to be lower, it's likely that you are playing an instrument that's already producing a bright sound. I can't hit my cymbal on my drum machine and complain about the lack of bass through the distorted sound because there no low end frequencies to work with in the first place.
There is a meal on a silver platter, and you hold the power to possess this meal. But you have to inquire about it. This pedal is your waiter, menu and utensils that can help you indulge in it.
But in all seriousness. I have spent so many hours on specifically distorting my sounds through digital pre-sets and such. They've sounded great afterwards, but that's not the point...
No the point is, is that this device right here:
1) Cuts the distortion editing process time in half.
2) Saves up RAM + Helps avoid potential latency issues in your DAW (if you're like me and use a shitload of presets) which in turn, creates more efficient, easier work flow.
3) Creates an effortlessly attractive flare to your sound.
If you have the money get it. If you don't, go on eBay or to guitar center and spend 25$ for a used one...These things are very indestructible.
Hope this helps.
