This little unit is a very interesting take on classic overdrive with modern flexibility. If you are looking for something that will have vintage sounds and go all the way up to the fuzz distortion and even sizzling modern distortion then this is the pedal for you. It has so much versatility that is almost doesn't make sense how easily you can dial in tones from your favorite past rockers and new influences.
The mini switch allows you to tighten up the low end for using Les Pauls or other humbucking style guitars. Switch the knob to the right it adds germanium chips to give it some warm compression and fat fuzz overtones.
UTILIZATION

* Powder coated exterior.
* 3 Carefully selected TO-18 metal can Silicon transistors, as used in the original circuit.
* Externally switchable pre gain control with internal pot allowing you to dial in best pre gain for your guitar.
* Switchable Germanium transistor and Germanium diode pair.
* Bias adjustment for transistors ensuring a perfectly tuned pedal.
* Master volume.
* Gain, Bass and Treble adjustment.
* Mallory M-150 polyester Capacitors.
* 9 volt power jack.
* True bypass switch.
* Compact pedal design.
SOUND QUALITY
Try it with any guitar that tone gives you a very workable pallet to construct you lead and rhythm lines. You will hear distinct tones from old records and you can't help yourself play some riffs accordingly.
I like this pedal with any guitar. Use a single coil guitar like a Fender Stratocaster or a Telecaster and keep the switch to the left. You will get some sweet classic rock tones from the 60's and 70's. Slap a Les Paul in front of it and switch the mini toggle to the right, crank up the gain and you will get some good fuzz distortion.
OVERALL OPINION
This is an instant classic pedal for me. It reminds me of all the old records I hear from the classic rock station on the radio. It is a very nostalgic sounding pedal for me. I almost want to hear more classic rock music to inspire me to play this unit.
At new these pedals come in at around $260. Not too bad of a price but a little on the high side. if you are a fan of Jeff Beck or Marc Bolan then this is the pedal for you.
