Published on 08/21/12 at 07:40Overdrive Harley Benton rebadge.
We can find this pedal with the same name, at the manufacturer Joyo.
Jack Connectors basic by 6.5 mm, an inlet and an outlet.
True Bypass footswitch.
Lowlight: his look!
As the green is much less fluorescent than the pictures circulating on the internet (it is similar to that of Maxon), which is a good point, as yellow knobs and patterns monkeys is ... weird!
Otherwise the paint is perfectly executed, without drips or orange peel.
I gives it a style as soon as possible!
UTILIZATION
Can not be easier!
Simply turn the knobs to modify the sound according to the percentage change that we want Volume, Drive or the importance of the orientation of the Tone.
SOUND QUALITY
Firstly, this pedal is very transparent, which is a real good point.
However, it is not simply a clone of the Ibanez Tubescreamer from home.
Indeed, although it is recognized affiliation, this pedal has its own character, its sound leg.
Thus, it is much less "fat" than the Tubescreamer, it keeps the lens clean side and very pleasant.
However, do not expect a big distortion with this pedal: it clearly colors. You can reach her for the dirty sound "overdrive" without actually having to get distortion. It is perfect for rock "calm" or the blues, see use as a boost.
I now turn to the analysis of the two master faders:
Drive:
First point, the race is progressive: we start from almost nothing to reach a grain present.
In the first third of the race, you get to have a clean boost. In the second third, a slight overdrive to smear arpeggios. Finally, by pushing the knob fully, it can happen to sing beautifully power chords and other agreements for rhythm.
Tone:
Very useful tone control to act on a range of frequency or another, we can promote the bass or treble. Feels weird on my model: push down the Tone feedback causes uncontrollable and unexplained ... Funny but not annoying since only stop knob. The lower one millimeter does not affect the sound and eliminates noise.
OVERALL OPINION
I tried a few models Overdrive (MXR, ONERR etc. ..) before attempting this one. It stands up very well by its character and unique transparency.
The only flaw we could impute is this lack of gain, but hey, surprisingly ordering a "vintage overdrive" (although it does not want to say anything to the final).
Good pedal that I recommend to those who cross for cheap.
