British TrueTone : It's True !!!

8 years ago

Same as for my American TrueTone, this British TrueTone has the sound right.

This one is Brash and Bright just like the real thing.

The 3 band EQ makes tailoring the tone so easy.

Good with Strat pickups, HBs and P90s.

I wasn't really looking for the other offerings in this range but I'm tempted to get the lot. If these two are anything to go by .

If there's a Con it's that the speaker simulation is always on but a bit of extra brightness soon sorts that out when you're looking to use it as a pedal.

At this price point you could get them all for the price of 1 mainstream pedal let alone the boutique stuff.

I'll say again, it really sounds right for that M type sound.

I've no reservations in recommending it.

Edit - Stumbled upon it's Bass Guitar capabilities.

Just as convincing as the tones for guitar.

I was messing with a looper and wanted to lay down a bass part.

Not wanting to fart around with rewiring for bass I just chucked some Precision on and used the Pink one (British TrueTone) to add some bass EQ.

Wow! Nice crunchy semi-breakup pleccy rock-bass tone. Sounds real and dynamic.

Who knew? They certainly don't advertise it as such for bass...they should for sure.
