American TrueTone : Dissapointing

5 years ago

I bought this because the many positive ratings here and elsewhere. Guess I expected too much, or I may have got a bad one. The good: It is possible to get quite good Fender tones from it. The bad: The footswitch makes a loud mechanical noise and feels cheap. The ugly: It is not true bypass, so when in bypass-mode it sucks the sound out of the guitar. And there is loud hiss both in bypass and on mode. I think the NUX Solid Studio seems like a much better alternative, and of course 4 times the price.
