I'm a metal head, long time musician (decades). I love pedals and have a nice collection, always on the lookout for and addition. My focus is distortion / overdrives and I like ones that can shred, crush, chug, and sound good for regular rock and blues. Not very frequent I find a pedal I like, but this is one. I played for hours the moment I got it and tweaking a bit yields the spectrum. It works good through the clean channel as a distortion pedal and dialed back to give a little oomf and tighten up the lows in the dirty channel as an overdrive. Great for that new metal sound, old school metal, and most any rock tones. I am able to get my Krank to sound very much like a 5150. My Randall like a monster. I'm very happy with this pedal.

Having owned many Overdrive pedals over the years Boss, Zoom, Electro Harmonix, others From a personal level and considering it's price, this pedal didn't really grab me from the get go, tried it on several different amps and pedal configurations was left a little unwhellmed and ended up selling in on in the end .

I used to play heavier music, but now I am older and play blues and lighter stuff. You never can get that crunch out of your bones. With a beautiful clean amp one push you are back into a wall of marshalls all dimed out. Crunch, sustain, and feedback WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! its a keeper.

What you don't hear in the demo videos is NOISE, but life is full of compromise. Low budget? No place to open up 50 or 100 watts? It does have nice tone characteristics. I have 3 different to test drive. A Blackstar Stereo 20, Marshall MG10, Carvin SX50 - It definitely adds to the built in varity of the Blackstar; okay with the Carvin; sounds like crap with the Marshall. You can not "overdrive" the amps natural overdrive. You have to run it into a realitivly clean sound. The noise gate peters out the signal on sustained notes, which can be taxing. I have a Charvel So Cal, Fender Tele Player, and a Kramer Beretta: the effect of your guitar's sound is marginal. The difference is in your amp. The Bottom Line: I say, test a floor model, through different amps at the music store. If you like it, buy one USED from SamAshDirect... But if you want THAT EVH SOUND - buy an amp... And keep shredding!Read full review

Great Pedal and massive amounts of distortion which works great even with single coils. The Noise Gate is adjustable and it does quiet the hiss that comes with pedals like this being on. A great innovation from the master guitar innovator himself. A great value for what it does.
