Vintage Overdrive : My favourite

Actually, this description can be the most authentic from me, thanks to a blind test with which I tricked my friends :)

The story is about the Harley Benton Vintage Overdrive and about the Maxon O808 pedals. I hooked up both and asked them to guess which one's which. It was funny to see experienced musicians (who actually just play and don't examine) to fall out of the game :D

The conclusion is that You hardly tell the difference between this and other pedals. And for the price it was a good decision to give a shot. I basically use it for recording guitars (with mics), and although it deos its job, it also can be stated that it is very subtle. It cleans up the mess, so You can turn down the gain on the amp, and still You have the power required.

I've just got a Marshall amp you I plugged out this pedal, but it's only a pride issue which will be over.

No negatives can be mentioned.
