Vintage Overdrive : Small price for big sound

A versatile overdrive that also works well as a volume boost, the Tube Screamer is one of those pedals that have made history, and every electric guitarist should have at least a clone in his or her collection. The Harley Benton Vintage Overdrive is a valid alternative at a completely reasonable price: sound quality is good, construction is robust, operation is immediate, and true bypass is a nice deviation from the original design. It seemed to me that the pedal becomes noisier when connected to a power adapter; on the other hand, working with a rechargeable battery is flawless.

Update 2015-04-02: for some reason, I had given four stars for "sound" and "total". But if one considers the Vintage Overdrive's price, these easily reach five stars! So let them be five.
