The right speaker will tame the fizz and bring out nice overtones

I tried this pedal since Michael Landau was using this a lot and he knows tone. But also I noticed that with some amps it sounds really sweet and smooth while on other amps it sounds fizzy and harsh in the upper mids.

So first of all, it seems to love tube amps.

And most of all, it loves certain speakers that tame the nasty fizz but still bring out the guitars musical overtones. Landau plays with G12-65 speaker, I use Marshall G12 Heritage speaker and these speakers seem to match the pedal nicely.

Also responds well to guitar volume knob, might even smooth out when volume rolled back to 7-8.

90/100
