American TrueTone : Good and cheap preamp for direct recording of guitar and bass
I bought this pedal primarily as back-up for live situations when my amp fails (it happened before), so I can run my pedalboard directly into this pedal and then to the soundboard. It works excellent in this role, and it led to another very useful purpose: direct recording in home studio.
I just finished recorded an entire album (8 songs) using Harley Benton American TrueTone as the pre-amp for all guitars and bass, and it worked really well, especially considering the fact that I did not have the time or space to properly mike guitar amps.
I just wish they made it smaller, like those mini pedals.
