American TrueTone : a lot of pedal for little money

+ price!!! cheap option for starters

+ solid built

+ easy to use

+ great sounds from clean to distortion

+ looks good on your board :)

- don't have anything to put here really

I don't have a lot of experience with pedals and this is my first, but the range of sounds that you can get out of this pedal is amazing! Especially when you look at the price. I don't think you can beat that.

Obviously I haven't used any other overdrive-type of pedals, but I am satisfied with the quality that I hear from my amp. So even if there were better overdrive pedals (for more money), I'd still consider this one, too, because for home users, practicing in your room/home studio etc, this is more than enough. But again, I don't have a lot of experience :) but again, this pedal isn't in the top 10 for no reason.
