Great litle overdrive! There are several diferent voicing options available. Battery operation posibility is also very useful. Big voice in small box. I like it.

One of the best Marshall in a box pedal

Gifted to a friend of mine who owns a Marshall Dsl 100, thanks to this little pedal he now has the same sound of his amp everywhere he goes, definitely recommended!

Marshall in a box

If you're looking for some Marshall-like distortion this is the pedal for you. It also has a few switches on the inside to customize the sound a little more. The pedal is very small aswell so it won't take up too much space on your pedalboard.

Wholesome Marshall sound

Great pedal, I suggest you use it at 18 volts to give it a lot more head room and unlock its full potential. Inside it it has 4 switches which in different combination gives you various Marshall head preamp gain structures (Super lead, super lead with high/mid cut, super lead+ with more highs and super bass). Excellent product, works excellent on a clean platform.

Very good sound

It's almost awkward, how can a pedal feel so organic and reactive to your touch, emulates very well a Marshall JMP!! The sound character is instantly recognisable. Internal Dipswitches let you tweek your tone even more. ITS NOW AN ALWAYS ON PEDAL! Will certainly try more from this brand, as I am very impressed.

Great AC/DC - Cult Electric Tones

I use this with my strat (Single Coils) and get great AC/DC - Cult Electric tones. I love this pedal and have two of them. However, a bit more flexibility in the EQ/tone shaping would be ideal.

Super Lead Tone! Nice.

In the early 1990's I had a real 50w Superlead made in 1971 and a 70's 4x12 angled cab with greenbacks. This pedal reminds me of that tone. Love it. (I'm playing through an original '66 Princeton Reverb).

A lot of reviews say this can get a Fender amp to be a Marshall. Complete exaggeration, nothing to do with Marshall sound. It's a decent pedal. And yes, i tried every setting.

I'm Stocked with this pedal

Hi there

I found my sound with that overdrive. So I'm planning to buy another SL Drive and combine my rhythm with my lead sound.

You can configure this pedal in four kind of tones, I mean that It's awesome!

Many people says that pedal contain a plexi in It's core ..mm I've to say that I actually never I played a Marshall Plexitone, but you can get tones from Hendrix till Tony Iomi, about that I've to clarify that it also depends on the guitar and the amplifier that you uses and between the four switch configurations plus the setting of the pedal, volume, tone and drive.

Well I really think that pedal its a big deal. I hope my words help you decide on this purchase

Cheers

Small and beautiful!

I never thought this pedal would last so long on my board. I always try removing it (for some reason), only to put it back on my board later. Sounds great in every amp I played it with.
