Great for bass

I use this with a bass at a jam night where there is no bass amp so plug straight into PA system. It sounds great with a nice variety of options in the sound shaping.

nice crunch/ lead pedal

it’s not a distortion , but it’s very universal for rock/grunge music

heavy sound

It gets the heavy sound of Marshall types. Nice and rough. I prefer it at the beginning of the chain to toneshape my amp. At the end I dont like it that much, unless direct recording off course. BUT of the three Truetones I got, this one was for my use the less usefull. Pretty good sound on its own. But it goes shrill very fast in combination with dirt. More suited for direct recording or on its own.

A full amp in a box. Great variation in sounds but difficult to switch between sounds easily. Small tweaks make big sound changes and you are spoiled by the amount of choice. You might need 2 or 3 of these to switch between they're that useful. Can't fault it at the price.

Didn't expect it to be great!

I said what the hell for the price range and bought this pedal. Didn't expect it to turn out awesome! Really gives you Marshall amp sound at a low price. Make sure to place it at the end of your pedalboard.

does the brit od sound

has low mid high settings, drive volume and voice, you can get quite few tones out of this thing even pretty chuggy metal stuff if you crankit. power socket seeems to be too deep tho and often my power cable pops out and kills the whole signal chain which is not fun, at laest its most of the time that pedal so its a quick fix but thats really not something that should hapen, when i got pedal i actually used it for a long time with 9v batteries because i thought that the power input was

broken but you just have jam it really deep there, i have same problem with the flanger pedal, its not the biggerst deal but really not some that should be overlooked in quality control, and yes i could have returned both of them but im just too lazy to return 25e pedal. its nice pedal tho, but if you need an od and dont need LMH just get tc electronic Cinders Overdrive or some klon klone imo.

Nice Marshall amp overdrive simulation.

I really don't do much distortion these days, but I thought I would try this pedal just to hear how it sounds. It sounds like the real thing. I'm inspired to play some 60s, 70s, 80, rock again. Not a bad clean sound either. Very good fit for a pedalboard. Thank you for quick delivery.

Nothing different

I already have the American pedal albeit Joyo. This British pedal's sound can be easily replicated by the American. There is no point to having both. The pots just need to be adjusted differently to get the same sound! I feel slightly conned. However, I do have a use with a TRS stereo guitar I have modded, to DI into the stereo audio interface, one pedal on each channel. Otherwise useless.

Marshall tone for 30 something euros

This little petal petal is so good, I would buy it for double it's prize and it would still be value for money! very good build quality. I use my HB vintage overdrive to drive this and straight to the clean channel of my THR5. Add some reverb and the British cab simulation from my Amp and I get that unmistakable Marshall tone!! I don't think I can do better in this price range!

Really good!!!

There is really no reason not to get this pedal. It's just a very well made overdrive pedal, that does what you'd expect an overdrive to do. Exceptional value for money!
