Critic Reviews

Analog Alien Joe Walsh Double Classic Pedal

guitarinteractivemagazine.com

The Analog Alien Joe Walsh Double Classic is a vibrant yellow pedal that masterfully combines a compressor and an overdrive, catering to both seasoned and novice players. Its compressor mimics high-end studio models, offering musical results with careful tweaking. The overdrive excels at delivering authentic tube-like breakup, enhancing your amp's character. However, the pedal demands patience and experimentation, which may frustrate less experienced users. While it won't magically transform your sound into Joe Walsh's, it undeniably brings life to your rig. A solid choice for those who appreciate nuanced tonal control, but perhaps not the quickest option for beginners.

Amazing clean Compressor and Vintage Tube Distortion

Love everything about this pedal.

Analog Alien Joe Walsh Signature Double Classic Compressor/Drive Pedal at a Glance: Classic Amp circuit Compressor circuit Pre/Post switch Classic Amp circuit The 4-control layout on the Classic Amp section makes putting together great guitar tones simple. You get just the essentials of bass, treble, gain, and output, but you can easily access all sorts of different tube amp sounds. From clean and sparkling to fat and driven, a twist of the gain knob gets you there instantly. And discerning guitarists at Sweetwater love how the 100% analog signal path of the Joe Walsh Double Classic pedal ensures your guitar tone shines through.

Compressor circuit The compression circuit in Joe Walsh's signature pedal delivers a pristine, produced quality that shares much more in common with rackmount studio compressors than many of today's compression guitar pedals. Inspired by the hardware used at Cloud 9 Recording, the Double Classic allows Joe to access his studio tones wherever he is performing. And the compression circuit is completely independent of the Classic Amp section of the pedal, giving you full access to the compressed sounds, whether you want a straight tone or a tone with some amplifier color.

Pre/Post switch The onboard Pre/Post switch acts as a virtual patchbay for your compression and amp tones. With a flip of the switch, you can place the compression circuit before or after the Classic Amp section. Joe Walsh uses this extensively, dialing in the amp side to shape and push the compression circuit into a smoother more natural drive of its own. Or hit the switch and run the pedal in the more traditional drive-into-compression format. Either way you run it, you'll have premium tones inspired by Joe Walsh at your disposal.
