Crayon 69 Full-Range Overdrive : An array of overdriven tones!

9 years ago

I ordered this pedal hoping to get a decent blues/funk crunch sound out of it and ended up with so much more. You can dial in an array of different overdriven tones due to the very responsive bass and treble controls. The gain is nice and tight, articulate and abundant. Not growling or muddy. Even at lower levels of overdrive the sound is clear and musical. Blues or Funk chords don't sound harsh, but rather have a nice bite to them. You can also make a solo on your neck humbucker really cut through the mix thanks to treble control or fatten up a solo on a bridge humbucker with the bass control. With the gain at maximum you get a nice singing solo sound that sound great combined with other effects. I use it to get a crunch tone then kick in the EHX OD Glove and get a ripping and rocking lead tone for Hot Blues/Funk solos but this pedal can be used in an array of settings and styles. In my opinion, this pedal offers just as much as pedals costing twice as much do. So I strongly recommend it!
