Overdrive pedals user reviews
Heather Brown Electronicals The Blessed Mother - "Fantastic Tone and Blending to Supercharge Your Amp"
SOUND: The Blessed Mother is by far one of the best clean/transparent boosts and overdrives I’ve heard – blending and affecting other gear exceptionally well without altering the original tone too much (unless you want it to). The EQ section is fant…
Ananashead Effects Bolt - "From Transparent to Just a Little Dirty, Bolt is a Versatile Drive"
OVERALL IMPRESSION & SOUND: Whether adding some clean boost, turning a clean channel into a crunch channel, or pushing a dirty channel for added bite and clarity in the mix the Bolt is a fantastic overdrive. What you will notice immediately is how …
Doc Music Station Blues Delight II - "Diverse Overdrive Serves More than Just the Blues"
OVERVIEW: This pedal may be dedicated to the Blues (and the tones associated with the genre), but Blues Delight II certainly acts as an effective drive to push higher-gain amps, due to its very clean to dirty range in both distortion and drive. On …
Doc Music Station Val Drive II - "Best Overdrive I've Used!"
SOUND: Val Drive II has found a home on my pedalboard. With a drive that ranges from mild to moderate, it provides a good ‘zing’ to clean channels, so that you have something between clean and dirty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20RySCNabFc…
Demedash Effects 112+ Overdrive - "Diverse Overdrive with Three Voices (Vintage, Modern & Heavy)"
SOUND: The 112+ can range from low gain to thick and heavy while producing varying tones, certainly with the help of having three different and unique ‘Voices.’ Obviously keeping the Drive low will produce only modest results, whereas pushing it to…
Carl Martin panama - "A classic drive/distortion that remain tight even with maximum gain"
SOUND: Carl Martin has produced an awesome Classic 80s Plexi tone in a pedal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ0EgcziypE Although there are comparable pedals out there, what sets the Panama apart is the Damping mechanism. Panama produces s…
Behringer Vintage Tube Monster VT999 - "Versatile and amazing sounding pedal."
I have been a loyal user to this pedal since 2011, and i've been using it since then. When i first tried, i did with the gear that was available in the store and it sounded good. Then i got home, tested with my gear, which were a Ampeg VT60 and a Fe…
Pearl OD-05 Over Drive - "Excellent versatile od pedal"
Bought this new back in the day, it was my first drive pedal and I’ve been using it up to this day. The od5 is part of Pearl’s short lived attempt into guitar pedals but it’s a very fine pedal nevertheless. Basically, Pearl’s take on the Tubescreame…
Tapestry Audio Fab Suisse - "Great Sound that Enhances Your Current Gear"
SOUND: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgroQE8HHPA&feature=youtu.be Tapestry Audio developed an amazing sounding overdrive. Definitely not a one-trick pony, you have three types of drive with a very useful EQ; and the drive sounds good even wh…
Friedman Amplification BE-OD Deluxe - "Thick Chunky Rhythms and Singing Leads in a 2-Channel Overdrive Pedal"
SOUND: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB28PwtSFzw&feature=youtu.be I like my tone’s low end to be punchy and chunky (for rhythm) and with enough energy to sustain quality singing leads. Friedman’s BE-OD Deluxe not only delivers effectively, but…
