Analog overdrive. Typical construction of the MXR philosophy: beautiful and strong.
UTILIZATION
3 knobs for a classic arch configuration: one volume, one tone and a gain level.
SOUND QUALITY
I have an uncomplicated relationship with this effect. Sometimes I find it all the qualities, but most of the time I stay on my desperate hunger. I am an absolute fan of the MXR pedals and it is this which ultimately convinces me in the least. Not that the effect is not good, but obviously it is seldom that I am seeking. I would say it is a classic OD with recurring defects that I find all OD, with the notable exception of the fantastic Badass Modified OD of the same brand.
As almost all OD, I think the GT-OD crashes too the note played solo, leaving him no time to "live" fully. And rhythm, his character a bit "deaf" does not suit me very rarely. While setting Tone proves effective, but it seems to me that the grain itself, I like also is thereby changed too. Yes, it is, without a doubt, a good pedal but does not fire in me that I find this match with all other MXR I have.
OVERALL OPINION
My opinion is therefore not an opinion to follow as too personal, I agree completely. There are very good pedal with a story which proves ultimately impossible. So which is really not bad!
