Published on 09/02/14 at 22:19Tube overdrive type very loyal pedal format, with an instrument input and two outputs: "amp" and "mix". This can be very handy in certain situations: live in tiny rooms or direct recording to table.
UTILIZATION
Easy! the bulk is in the settings: master, bass, treble, gain. The output "mix" helps to connect smoothly on a table. This can be useful, not just for guitar players: bassist, harmonica, singer why not!
SOUND QUALITY
The gain is very close to the legendary Ibanez Tube Screamer: it is precise, light crunch to overdrive. In "Flat" mode, the guitar sound is not distorted. We can even pair it with a tube amp overdrive to "hang" a little more.
OVERALL OPINION
It stung me my Tube Screamer along with an amp, a guitar and a microphone singing it two years ago. Needless to say, I was mortified. Until I found this pedal I was using for my overdrive directly my amp (Fender Blues Deluxe) a pod Line 6 which I was not fully satisfied, at least on overdrive. I've tried lots and then I found the Bad Monkey at a friend's harmonica and I was hooked. I found great before you even know it was almost three times less expensive than TS. All the more reason!
