Vintage Overdrive : This pedal rocks!

This pedal rocks! I bought it as a replacement for an Ibanez TS7.

Sound:

I use it mainly as a booster pedal in front of the amp or other distortion pedals.

Used alone it has a very smooth overdrive ideal for jazzy/bluesy tones. I compared

it once with an original 808 pedal, and the difference is extremely small. In fact i tend to like the vintage overdrive more then the original 808. Used before an other distortion pedal, it kind of boosts and cleans the sound up at the same time. When engaged, the low and high frequencies are slightly rolled off. The ranges of the distortion/treble knobs are as expected for a tubescreamer-like pedal. The noise level is very low, and when bypassed it does not color the sound at all.

Build quality:

The chassis is very sturdy, all knobs and the switch have a decent quality.

Conclusion:

This is a very nice and affordable pedal, give it a try!
