It took me a while to get the hang of this pedal. The first thing I learned is that it's not made for little digital practice amps. Especially ones with small speakers. You'll want a bigger amp/higher wattage to get the full effect. Makes me wonder what the actual Friedman amp sounds like. You'll get every kind of overdrive out of this pedal. Those who play higher gain stuff will absolutely love this thing. The knobs are very responsive and it works well with other pedals. I really like that it has an internal pot to increase or decrease the amount of gain you want. I have guitars with hot pickups so I had to dial it back some. I find this pedal to be very bright and treble-y. Kicking down the Tight and Presence knobs produces a warmer sound. The Treble knob is actually a Mid/Volume knob, kind of serves another purpose other than treble but it works well for when I play with the neck pickup. Cuts right through the mix and you can hear every note clearly. I would recommend this pedal for any rock/metal guitarist. Blues players may want to seek something else.Read full review

I bought this pedal after watching all the available reviews on YouTube. It's good fun to play but it's a one trick pony, it's not really versatile. It does one thing, emulate an hot rodded jcm 800, but it does it well! Great build quality but you can get the similar tones from cheaper pedals. Buy it only if you're after THAT sound.

Is there such a thing as too much gain ? Maybe not! This pedal designed by famed tone mister Dave Friedman is the dope, a great design with on board eq' possibilities to tailor to different amps and DAW platforms. A big bonus is the adjustable trim pot which is exposed by removing the back plate which allows you to cut back on the allowable gain that the pedal can deliver. If hot rod Marshall sustain and crunch is your pursuit until you can sell your soul for the actual Friedman BE100 tube amp, this will pacify and satisfy . Setting your tube amp fairly clean to the edge of break up will help in dialing in a very usable tone on fly or plugging into any typical backline setup. Recommended for high gain solo work and naughty crunch at its best

Absolute killer pedal. Play this through my Fender Hotrod and I can go from a Fender crystal clean to a high gain stack sound. Love it, it’s my favorite drive I’ve ever owned.

This OD is more on the distortion side, if want this for a light overdrive, it won’t be the best fit, but for a heavy OD it won’t disappoint you
