Hot Wax Dual Overdrive : It sound like valve based overdrive...

5 years ago

I have used many years SD1 and I stil think that it is great overdrive. Ok, Hot Wax is more expensive, but result of using id is perfect. At first, it sounds vintage, but it is possible to set it modern. Another thing - many stompboxes are doing almost everything, distortion, overdrive, metal (it is music genre not sound efect) even fuzz (come on!). Hot Wax is only overdrive with plenty of "colors". Ok, sometimes it is similar to distortion but distortion is result of overdrive so...

Pros:

vintage sound

valve taste

very strong distortion

nice design

great possibilities for customization

meaningful price

Cons:

None

I have tested it on:

Fender Stratocaster Deluxe

Gibson Les Paul Faded 2018
