Crowther Audio's Hot Cake is a super 'clean' distortion pedal that is designed for electric guitar. The pedal is made out of analog components, and has standard 1/4" connections for your input and output. The pedal is really compact, as it's smaller than a Boss pedal. This isn't a rack mountable piece of gear as it's a stomp box.
UTILIZATION
There's really not much to the make up of the Crowther Audio Hot Cake pedal. The three parameters that it has are for level, drive, and presence. These are definitely pretty common parameters for a distortion pedal, so if you have any experience at all using overdrive and distortion pedals, the make up of the Hot Cake should seem familiar to you. A manual shouldn't be necessary, but I haven't seen one for this pedal so I can't comment on it's make up.
SOUND QUALITY
The Crowther Audio Hot Cake pedal is one of the best overall sounding distortion pedals that I've used to date. It has probably the 'cleanest' sound for a distortion pedal that I've heard, meaning that it doesn't give you much noise at all and you can really hear every note being played - even when you're cranking it. This is an incredibly versatile pedal, as it's capable of getting all sorts of sounds and can be used in a variety of situations. It's awesome for give you some lighter overdrive, but also excels as a simple booster and for heavier distortion. You also won't lose any signal whatsoever with this pedal.
OVERALL OPINION
If you're doing a lot recording with a distortion/overdrive pedal, the Crowther Audio Hot Cake is going to be one of your best bets. It's got such a clean sound to it that it's possible to throw it in your line and use it only when you want to without losing any of your signal. Even for other uses, it excels very well as it's versatility is a huge plug in any setting. The price of the Hot Cake pedal is definitely above average, but it isn't outlandish for a pedal of this caliber. If you're a professional or just a tone snob looking for a really clean distortion pedal, the Hot Cake is a must try.
