Vintage Overdrive : very nice sound for the price

6 years ago

i was looking for an overdrive with harmonic singing distortion, normally i would have bought the Ibanez Tube Screamer which was on my wish list for a long time, but i tried this one and i like the sound very much. I am using single coils with it and i have to put the drive dial almost to the max. to get some overdrive and it still sounds comparatively clean, i wasn't trying with humbuckers yet. It would be nice if there was a little more headroom.

The build quality is good and solid yet very simple. The circuit board is installed a bit skewed, making it hard to change the battery, its so tight that the battery body gets scratches when i put it in.

Overall i like the pedal considering its price tag.
