AC TrueTone : Great pedal for the money

12 years ago

This pedal is fantastic value for money. It is well made (all metal enclosure) and the construction feels reliable. Because of the 3-band EQ and the voice control (in addition to the usual volume and gain) it is very versatile and the user can achieve a wide range of sounds, from pure boost to great distortion. Another feature that adds to the versatility is that this pedal is actually an amp simulator rather than a traditional overdrive pedal, so it can be used directly into the effects loop of an amp for different output altogether. The only problem that I have found with these pedals is that they tend to introduce slight hissing to the sound, but at less than 30 Euros per pedal, that is a minor complaint. It is difficult for me to say whether the AC Truetone does a good job of recreating the sound of actual Vox amps closely, but again given the price I do not particularly expect it to sound just like an AC30.
