There are a few ways to describe the effect of the Amp Rescue, and it depends on whether you’re playing a clean or dirty signal. When playing clean, it’s as though a ‘flatness’ is removed from the signal and replaced with a clean chime, or even a bell-like response. The notes ring out quite...

I now realize why Hagerman Amps calls its latest true bypass pedal Reactivator – “it’s alive… it’s alive!” This is a low to moderate gain pedal, a two-transistor/two-triode overdrive, but its tube driven components maintain that ‘warm’ and realistic amp sound, which the demo video exemplifies...

Heart Müller, a true bypass pedal, originally was developed to be a bass overdrive. However, this latest version was tweaked in order to be used by a six-string as well. The accompany demo video focuses on the bass in the first half, with a rhythm/lead/bass composition to showcase the results of...

OVERVIEW: Bloodbuzz is one of the more diverse pedals, with a fuzz and overdrive combination that can be setup in different ways within itself and with other gear. The wide-ranging gains, tones and voices allow for extensive diversity, while sound from both sides are well-defined, detailed and...

SOUND: I've worked with a number of Plexi-based pedals and find the Meta Plexi to have the best sound and the greatest diversity when working with various amps (including pushing the Gain on the pedal with a clean amp or adding a bit of Gain to an already dirty amp). I used the Meta Plexi with...

Calling all speed demons! Take your tone to the Ultra Zone with this two-channel dirt machine. This rare pedal features a modded take on Steve's favorite tube screamer circuit, and for smooth leads, the red channel is based on a modded DS-1. There's a beautiful swirl finish done by Darren...

Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Pro Tone Misha Bulb Mansoor Overdrive Just bought this to tryout. Sounds good but may have an issue with the attack switch. Could be an easy fix. Has paint chipping that is typical with Pro Tone stuff. Modifications (if any): None Accessories...

As I was doing some research for some new pedals (yay christmas money) I came across this, thought it was interesting. Most used delay & overdrive pedals according to what they tallied. Most used by famous guitarists, that is :) Here's delay and od Tube screamer I get, but kinda surprised at...

SOUND: I like my tone's low end to be punchy and chunky (for rhythm) and with enough energy to sustain quality singing leads. Friedman's BE-OD Deluxe not only delivers effectively, but is one of the most impressive pedals I have reviewed. This is a step up from the BE-OD, in that it offers...

Hi players! I just did a review of the popular MXR Distortion + pedal. It's on my youtube channel. Please click here: to watch it. I used my new and amazing PGM401 - what a sublime guitar she is :D Lemme know what you think.

I'm going to be auditioning with a cover band shortly, just looking to fill out my schedule with more consistently paying gigs. If it goes as planned, I'm going to want to add a little flexibility to my rig without breaking the bank. So far, the Dirt Clod is looking like the easiest option...

Hi guys I recently did a video review of a Zoom PD01 MiJ overdrive pedal and I'm curious to know: a) If you like it? b) Is it collectible and valuable as I've heard elsewhere? I'm asking because I might sell it. Click here: Thanks and enjoy the video!

http://www.sonicantiquity.com/ A friend of mine's brother is in the process of launching this company, and I was at their pre-release party last night to check out a couple of their pedals. Their "elevator pitch" I guess, for lack of a better term, is simple - these guys have a background in...

Hey folks! In January I got to evaluate a few prototype Seymour Duncan overdrives at Seymour Duncan HQ alongside Keith Merrow, Wes Hauch and a few other awesome chaps. One version in particular stood out as something really, really special... and here it is! The Seymour Duncan 805 Overdrive. I...

So I decided to film a video with every overdrive pedal I have. Hopefully this will help you guys see what some of these pedals sound like. To keep things fair, all pedals have their controls set to 12:00. I used a Marshall JCM 800 for everything. What was your favorite? Least favorite...
