Deep Trip BOG - "Good 70s fuzz tone with modern improvments"
I play the BOG either in a fender or Marshall, with single coils P90 or humbuckers. It s a classic, FF tone that cleans nicely with guitar volume. A tiny bit more modern sounding than the Germanium …
Vertex Effects Systems ultra-phonix HRM - "Good OD"
It sounds good. Obviously I didn t compare to a dumble amp (and if so which one, etc....). But it s a nice and articulate Overdrive. Going in the Marshall direction to my hears. A Guv'nor-ish tone…
Smallsound/Bigsound Mini - "Swiss army knife of the OD / disto / fuzz"
This box is doing pretty much everything you need from an overdrive / booster / fuzz. As good with single coils than humbuckers. I use it either with no gain at all as a clear boost or like an amp …
M.A.S.F. Pedals Epilepsy - "Amazing noise-oscillo fuzz"
This is one of the heaviest and sickest noise-oscillo-fuzz I ever owned. It's super loud, practically and totally uncontrollable and unpredictable, and that's why I love it so much: it's a pure brut…
Hagerman Amplification Drive - "A velvety smooth drive with character"
I don’t mind fuzz pedals, but I don’t use them often. I’ve demoed them, used them here and there, but frequently had to do some EQ adjustments or add some type of treble booster, etc., to really get …
Jam Pedals Double Dreamer - "Awesome drive unit. Best I have used"
Les Paul studio '89 + sound city concord. This is the best overdrive that I use, it can work from clean boost to hi gain overdrive, all with excelent results. The best of the pedal, the sound: …
Hagerman Amplification Reactivator - "A Tone Game Changer (tube drive)"
I now realize why Hagerman Amps calls its latest true bypass pedal Reactivator – “it’s alive… it’s alive!” This is a low to moderate gain pedal, a two-transistor/two-triode overdrive, but its tube dr…
TL Pedals SP+ - "Fantastic sounding overdrive with useful options"
If you’re into overdrives, and pushing your amp to new levels of brilliance, TL Pedals’ SP+ JFET true bypass will not disappoint. The name of this pedal comes from another in the TL collection, the S…
Hagerman Amplification Metal - "Modern Take on Doom and Sludge (thick & lively)"
Hagerman is a solid pedal-builder/engineer, and often producing unique voicings when compared to its rivals. Its METAL pedal is no exception, although not a ‘modern’ hi-gain type pedal in the modern …
Night Owl Industries Parabellum Drive - "Highly flexible, multiple boosts and tube driven"
If you’re looking for ‘boutique,’ then Night Owl Industries fits that bill. This company’s focus is on tone, while delivering something unique, and its current project is no exception – The Parabellu…
Carl Martin PlexiRanger - "OD and Treble Booster in one, with a wide range of 'cutting' tones"
Carl Martin produces some very solid pedals, in that they sound good, are easy to operate and deliver what’s promised. The PlexiRanger is no exception, as it combines Carl Martin’s classic Plexi in a…
Biyang Metal-End - "Fantastic pedal"
I just came to give my two cents about this pedal. Its sick, to say the least. This thing will scream any pickups. Excellent switching from modern, normal and vintage gives you three different distor…
MXR MC402 Boost/Overdrive - "'70/'80 distortion / line booster"
Gibson classic 2005/Fender Hot Rod 40 . I use this pedal from three years and i love it for the Fripp/McLaughlin sound that it give to my Les Paul and for the neutral work of the boost section that p…
Greedtone Overdrive II - "Pro Overdrive that Adds Note Definition and Harmonics"
What guitarist doesn’t like effects? Certainly, there are some purists, including jazz or blues musicians (plug in an amp and play), but most of us like things that add some dazzle to our tones. My …
nUX Fireman (NDS-5) - "Amp-Like Distortion with Dual Channels"
Some distortions are warm, others are fat, and still others are chewy. The Fireman Distortion was meant to sizzle and cut through the mix. The grain is fine to medium overall, but the two channels do…
