American TrueTone : Pretty nice although cheap looking

8 years ago

I bought the American TrueTone in order to get rid of my Vox Tonelab Amp modelling (due to its size). The online sound tests were pretty impressive and the price was extremely low. So I decided to give it a try.

I am very pleased with this product. It looks cheap and it feels very light, but it sounds very impressive. I haven't found the perfect settings for a good clean tone, but it shines with a nice distortion pedal and small amount gain.

Overall, it seems versatile with the controls having an audible effect on the sound. It's now on my pedalboard and I cannot imagine giving it away.
