DOD Looking Glass Overdrive - "Well done, DOD!"
I’ve used it on a 1966 Princeton amp with a single-coiled guitar. I’ve owned quite a load of ODs and boosts, yet this one is one of the best I’ve come across. I’ve always loved asymmetrical clipping, and the videos convinced me (especiallt that by ...
Zvex Box of Rock (Vertical) - "Box of Rock gives you the 1966 Marshall JTM45 Amp Sound (Townshend/Hendrix)"
SOUND: Certain guitars and amps have become desired collectables because they just happen to have gotten something right. The 1966 Marshall JTM45 amp head is such a beast. If unfamiliar with this amp simply think of early Pete Townshend and Jimi H...
BK Butler Tube Driver - "Has its moments"
Great pedal for a screaming solo or some other additions. However the distortion for a power chord sucks. Open chords with some boost sounds good. I can switch over to the EVH 5150 15 watt, and the power chords and distortion blows the doors off t...
Ibanez TS7 Tube Screamer - "Great Tube Screamer!"
Got this b/c I found out that they have the Orig JRC 4558 Op Amp Chip and have the orig TS-9 (80's models) circuit path/components! New TS-9 reissues DO NOT!! I think it sounds alittle flatter than my Biyang OD-8 (TS808 clone) but WAY tighter and I o...
Analog Man King of Tone V4 - "A stompbox that's hard to get, but which suits my expectations."
I use a Fender Super Sonic 22. The King Of Tone has joined my pedalboard to complete it in the disto / od / boost section. I use it with all my electric guitars – Strat, Tele, Les Paul, SG, ES335. The stompbox is supplied by an external supply – ...
Bogner Wessex - "A 'clean' overdrive"
I've been using this overdrive combined with the Harlow and the result is awesome. The Wessax alone already sound very good, the sound stays focused at whatever saturation level and the tone control is both very musical and efficient, and entirely...
Maxon OD-820 Overdrive Pro - "A very good Maxon unit"
It's an OD stompbox in the purest Japanese tradition, used on guitars and synths, it makes both tube and solid state sounds shine, can't be compared directly with models from different ranges and/or giving different sounds. A must have for class...
Joyo JF-02 Ultimate Drive - "Lives up to the hype!"
I use the JF-02 with Fender tube combos, Silvertone tube head and a Marshall 18 watt combo. Battery is easy to change. I have tried this pedal with my 1962 Strat and Epi-Dot. I don't know how power hungry it is yet. I do intend to try it at 18 volts....
Proel DS-10 Blues Distortion - "PROEL - 'Magic' Pedal"
There are hundreds of Boutique pedals and many promise more than they deliver (Klon comes to mind as an example) I was put on to this pedal by accident and just happened to find one on ebay. I didn't know what to expect, but what I got was EXACTLY wh...
Electro-Harmonix East River Drive - "East River Drive - a great journey!"
I did not own a TS808 clone as such - I had a couple typical ODs and transparent ODs and was quite happy with them. There weren't too may online demos of the East River Drive (ERD) and not any dissenting voices, so I took advantage of my Thomann revi...
