MGR/Michael Culmer « Digitech X-Series Overdrive »
Published on 11/19/03 at 15:00I purchased this pedal in my local guitar shop in England, (B&T Music) after reading reviews in my magazine. I had to order it and after a very long wait of about 2months I finally recieved it. It cost the normal retail price of £90 and is the first pedal I have bought.
The pedal has very nice and classic rock sounds which gives me a kick and more confidence when playing any rock song. It is very sturdy so it's almost impossible to damage it and the morph knob gives a versatile range of distortion.
Being my first effects pedal, I wasn't sure about how long the battery would last but it drained much faster than I expected and when I bought another £4 battery to replace it, it still wouldn't work. After buying a cheap battery, it did so I'm not sure if it was the pedal itself but I suggest buying a mains adapter. Also if you use a high setting on the pedal through a clean amp, there appears to be too much distortion and feedback to play ordinary rock sounds, however Metallica type songs sound alright.
A very sturdy piece of equipment with tough construction and knobs. There is the evolutionary morph knob for varied distortion. There is also a mixer out so that you can go straight into recording. It never really slides about and it is so easy to use.
Being my first pedal and costing quite a bit of money, I believe this is a very good buy. It produces quality sounds and is basically many ordinary distortion pedals in one. Those who prefer modern rock sounds may like to consider the 'Hot Rod' instead but this is a pedal worth some thought.
