Harley Benton Vintage Overdrive Reviews

So cool for that price!

I liked the sound more than the TS, for this price it is a very good pedal.

Great value

This overdrive created some noise but had a great sound when playing, yes there are better sounding pedals but value for money this is a great place to get started with overdrive.

Surprisingly good

Bought it to give the tubescreamer hype a try. Sounds actually very nice. The knobs are a little hard to keep in position, but nothing some gaffa can't prevent. For the price, no reason to spend 4x the amount for the same thing with a brand printed on it.

Good overdrive pedal

great pedal for a great price

Green Overdrive Pedal sound

Obviously modeled after that famous green overdrive pedal but at a much lower cost. Weel built, sounds great, loads of tone, fantastic price. Why wouldn't someone give this pedal a try?

Nice Crunch Tone

Great Value, Excellent Quality!!!

great option

great option of a tubescreamer, true bypass, works great for boosting some mild, mid and heavey tones

I love it

Best pedal I've ever bought and what a bargain.

so glad i added it to my order of the Harley Benton Tube 15.

They go together like digestives and tea. nice...

Nice overdrive sounds

Good pedal, nice sounds, easy to use, many possibilities, study switch.. Does not sound or feel cheap at all. Another great low-priced product of Harley Benton!

Does the job!

Great for boosting your tone for solo.

Perfect clone of the TS9

Can;t get any better than this

Wow. Why spend more on an overpriced "original"?

Looking for a Ts/Tubesceamer for boosting for metal-sounds? Rock sounds need more balls?

Ibanez and maxxon are nice,, but this is much better as for as price/bang for buck.

Sure, it's lighter, and might not last you 30 years, but this is great little green boost/overdrive pedal for a stupid good price.

If you just want to see if a tubesceamer is a welcome addition to your setup, this is a great tester pedal. cant go wrong for this kind of money.

Nice pedal

Didn't try the original pedal that this one clones, but I enjoy the sounds this one can give me. I really like the quality of the drive it has. Can't get it with other drive pedals I have. The only thing I miss is the the low end that this pedal covers with it's mids hump.

Well built, sturdy. Laughable affordable.

Another knock out of the park!

This IS a green type overdrive.

You know what it'll sound like, it's good.

It's as good as any other "green overdrive" I've ever tried.

Metal housing, slightly roughly cut on the bottom but still great, phenomenal sound. good quality knobs. What a treat of a pedal at a steal of a price!

I always hated tubescreamers pedals

and I stil hate them! But if you like a TS pedal in front of your amp and can't afford a Green Rhino (e.g.) this is the deal!

True bypass for those of you who care about; old style housing with the 9V adaptor socket on top and a nice/cheap look.

It should be made with thru hole components (so you can mod it) if I have seen correctly.

30€ is less than what you could spend for a DIY kit.

It's a timeless classic, sort of a 'must have', so......buy it and hate it as I do!!!

As expected

Cons:

Could use a bit more gain and the tone knob does not do much.Also very sensitive to dc adapters,can get noisy fast,

Pros:

Good transparent sound,Price.

On my copy, tone knob hisses when maxed out

Phenomenal sounding pedal, spot-on TS-9 clone. Built like a tank. Cheap. The only issue I have with it is that turning the tone knob past 3 o'clock introduces a high pitched hiss to the sound. I rarely if ever want to run it in that position anyway, but it still shouldn't happen. Not a lot of people are complaining about this so it's more indicative of poor quality control than poor engineering.

Very good TS-like pedal

I use ti with my HRD IV and it is great to push more grit and middle from it.

It has all you want/need from TS-like pedal.

Pros: great sound and options

Cons: Lid for 9V battery feels like it's going to break after few battery changes.

I recommend it to every pedalboard.

Cool pedal.

Made with high quality. Excellently colored in a pleasant green color. The knobs of the regulators are made of yellow plastic, rotate with noticeable effort, smoothly, without jamming. The sockets are secure, the plugs are firmly held. The underside of the pedal is rubber-padded. Works without noise.

creating new sounds

this overdrive is doing the job perfectly for me great value for little cost
