Overall this is a pretty good dirt pedal for the money. You aren’t going to get boutique sounds out of this thing, but when compared to many Boss overdrives this pedal comes out ahead. Honestly I don’t think there is a lot of difference between many distortion pedals in this range, but adding a two band EQ makes this pedal a lot more versatile...
Overall I wouldn’t call this a great overdrive, but I would call it a great overdrive for the price and just an OK overdrive at any price. It lacks some dynamics of a more expensive overdrive pedal, but the bonus of the two band EQ would make it my choice over similar Tubescreamer type pedals. It works great as a solo boost or a near-clean boo...
I would only use this pedal if I had no other options. It's probably one of the worst I've tried. It's cheap, but I guess that's for a good reason. I wouldn't use this anywhere considering I don't play metal, which I guess does make me a little bit biased. But I still doubt any self-respecting metal player wouldn't want to take control of his to...
This is a decent pedal, but it's downfall is the amount of treble present in it. It has way too much treble. I used it to play Thrash, and it just wasn't cutting it. It can hold it's own against a BOSS MT-2, but it fails against anything else. It's very easy to make it Harsh and Fizzy. It's too easy to find a bad tone in it. If the dialed out so...
I definitely was a little disappointed in how little transparency there was on this pedal, but after awhile I came around and recognized that it's pretty good in its own right. It certainly is a bit more rockin' than the Klon, but not quite as dirty as a Tube Screamer can sometimes get. The sound is pretty great. I think that it's probably, at t...
I've only used the Digitech Hot Head DDH a few times and I don't think I'll be using it again anytime soon because I simply don't like the way that it sounds. I think that if you are looking for a cheap distortion pedal, that the Boss DS-1 sounds better and is even a bit cheaper than this. This pedal is really a copy of the DS-1 in my opinion ...
While I haven’t used the DigiTech Screaming Blues all that much, I have used it enough to know that I don’t want to have any part of it. Like I said, it will work fine if you are just looking to play around and add a little distortion to your sound for your own kicks because it is cheap enough for that, but if you are serious about getting good...
I’ve first used the Digitech DF7 Distortion Factory about a year ago and while I was pretty impressed with its versatility, it isn’t a pedal that I needed to have in my collection. It definitely has some good sounds on it and the price is really its best feature as it comes at an extremely low cost. I would recommend this pedal for beginner an...
I’ve been using the Digitech Tone Driver Overdrive for a couple of years and can’t really say that I would wholeheartedly recommend this pedal. It isn’t all that bad sounding but doesn’t sound too professional. The price is the best part about this unit as it is dirt cheap that makes it a viable option for players on all budgets. If you are l...
I've been using the DigiTech Eric Clapton Crossroads guitar pedal for around a year or so and I've decided that while I definitely like using this pedal, I don't think I would recommend it to anyone other than the biggest of Clapton fans. The sounds are pretty cool but I think the people who will get the most from it are true Clapton fans. The p...
