El Cambo Overdrive : Even works with just the solid state!

I have a tendency to be laid back and that’s my tone : thus laid back you can’t even find me anymore. This sometimes leads to me losing track of the midrange and high end. I figured I’d get a pedal that might help cure that problem... And I found it.

I run it through my Laney IRT Pulse and TC Electronic Skysurfer Reverb into my amp, but even when you turn all of that off and run this straight into my solid state amp that normally sounds flat and can only be made to sound minimally good with maximum tweaking, it sounds superb.

This is a pedal that doesn’t just sound good with a solid state amp and excellent with a tube amp, seriously, it sounds excellent with a solid state amp and excellent+ with a tube amp. This is one cool pedal that gives you a clear and resonant boost in the mids, an organic overdrive sound all the way into sweat bright blue distortion or maybe you should call it ”fuzz without the breakup?“

It’s just one of these pedals that based on the price make you ask yourself whether it might really be this good and it outperforms your expectations even though they weren’t really all that low. Like with every pedal, it has to be your kind of sound. It made me immediately feel it was mine.

I’m happy.
