M193 GT-OD : Not the tones you want.

3 years ago

This pedal might lure people who want something like a TS but with maybe more gain on tap. As an MXR pedal it is very robust and good quality.

The sound however I found to be unusable in mostly every setup I tried.

The pedal introduces a muddy and fat overdriven sound, that is neither nicely compressed and saturated, nor rich harmonically.

Even at minimum gain settings it colours the sound 100% with kind of an unpleasant hard clipping distortion. Maybe someone could use this sound as a main rhythm sound for 80s-90s rock/metal.

Also it could be used to push your dirty amp to saturation.

It is possible that with expensive valve amps this pedal could result in something better.
