Ultimate Drive : A cheap yet very good overdrive pedal

I use this unit mainly with a Telecaster replica (Harley Benton) and sometimes with a Les Paul copy and it has a very pleasing sound with the tele. The most important characteristis feature of this pedal for me is that it is very sensitive to the dynamics of my playing, which means that I can achieve quite a soft sound if I play lightly, even if the gain knob is turned up fairly high. This gives me a very flexible sound. On the other hand, when I plug my LP in, and turn up the gain, I can produce a surprisingly heavy sound.

The pedal seems as a very well built unit which will last for a long time.

The gain and the tone knobs give plenty of varieties, the high/low switch has a very subtle effect, thou.

I am very happy that I chose this overdrive pedal, as it perfectly suits my needs. I play various styles from country and rockabilly to stoner rock and even metal, and I can use this pedal in every genre. Great value!
