American TrueTone : Not worth it for most people

From the recording perspective......

This is not a good sounding pedal. It has been compared to fender tube amps and it really couldn't hold a candle to them. It does indeed try to emulate that fender sparkle and it is only 30 euros. But Mcdonalds is cheap, would you serve it to impress anyone?

When this pedal is on all the dynamic characteristics of your guitar and amp (or even a passable audio interface) are lost. it is hard to describe what happens but it is easy to hear. It is an unpleasant deadening and compression of the sound. 2-d might explain it.

This is a 15 dollar distortion box with a 15 dollar eq. what can you possibly expect from that.

You are better saving up for a good clear eq pedal and a decent distortion box. this will serve nothing good for recording, logic pros inbuilt amps are better.
