Vintage Overdrive : How can this be so good?

10 years ago

It's a tubescreamer clone, there's no getting round that. But my god is it a good one, cranked up into my old WEM dominator this thing sounds amazing. I was running an MXR overdrive before, and got this so I could have a lower gain setting, but it beat the MXR hands down, and has taken its place on my board.

If you like old school creamy overdrive, then this does it. If you are after super high gain heavy metal sounds, then this is not the pedal for you, but with its three self-explanatory simple controls it can do all the screaming lead sounds, and crunchy rhythms that you could ever want.

Get one, even if you don't need it.
