Review: Overdrive pedal - Don't be a gear snob; give it a try! - Unless you're looking for a signature pedal sound, this is a solid, cost-effective option. It has a great sound (imho), is sturdy, and has a lot of options for a 35$ no-name pedal. I play a lot of classic/roots rock on a semi-hollow Gretsch and like to add just a touch of growl. This pedal fits the bill. You may have a different opinion. But for the price, it's definitely worth a try. Hell, you can always return it.
Review: yes definitely - this pedal sounds dope for its price I was surprised how good it is. Been having fun with it I use it to either add a great warm distortion sound that you don’t get with overdrive pedal. It also gives a good boost and widens the sound with the fuzz turned down. and it’s pink so yeah, it’s pretty great.
