One half of the best overdrive I've ever played

Seeking to sell a few pedals to go toward purchasing a new amp, and not often using the second channel on my King of Tone, I opted to let the KoT and purchase a PoT.

My King of Tone had some voodoo magic in it that this Prince seems to be missing in just the slightest way, but it still does a perfect job of pushing my Marshall across the threshold at gigs when I can't get amp volume up to the right level of dirt. Awesome pedal by an awesome builder.

Great Boost and OD with its spin on the BluesBreaker

When I first tried this pedal in OD mode, it reminded me of stacking a classic BB with a TS808. Going into boost mode, it has more open feeling a bigger sound stage, but a vintage classic rock style sound it.

For me on a live board, it sounds really nice once dialed in. It didn’t take the place as an always on type pedal. But it def does the BB meets at TS well. It’s fatter than a TS808 and the Boost mode shines.

On its own it may seem different at first. But when playing in a live band or mix…this pedal lets you be heard, and has great harmonic overtones in OD mode. Boost I found good to drive Marshall style pedals or amps, Big Muffs and all that stuff. I pretty much use it as a front boost like a TS into something that needs some mids and clarity. Then Overdrive provides a nice fatter Vox like TS sound.

With so many variant of BB pedals out there. I wouldn’t call this transparent, but it’s own take on the BB very TS inspired. It has a TS808 chip stock you can swap out for others. But it did replace my Morning Glory for live playing. Morning Glory is now a backup and just reserved for my amp sims, small board and to run on a backline for a safe familiar neutral tone if needed.

POT took some time to dial in per amp and guitar. Humbuckers it sounds very great!

Close, but very different from all the other BB I’ve tried. An additional EQ also helps shape the pedal, but I wouldn’t call it a Timmy or edge if breakup pedal. Love it for its own thing, and it def was made for the live player in mind. If anything it’s very Vox sounding on a Fender amp to me. Cuts off around 100-120hz to tighten up and has a bit of a mid boost.

Most users use it in Boost mode which doesn’t cut off as much low end. Then dial in the drive if at all. It sounds more full range in that setting, for those wanting that. 3 choices is nice, and the Boost and OD are certainly worth it. I really like to drive the boost mode into a delay or reverb. Mostly used for Indie Rock and Blues for me. Lets you set you Les Paul to mid and Rhythm to be more useful.

Possibly my favorite Overdrive pedal

Easily one of the greatest overdrive pedals available. Ive tried a plethora of options, at least 30. Essentially one half of the King of Tone. Based on the Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit yet heavily modified to bring out the best characteristics of your guitar and amp.

Always on

I never turn this off. Set on the boost, it adds a bit of grit to my cleans and stacks incredibly well with the Fulltone Fulldrive in front of it. Very tempted to buy a second one!

POT

Nice pedal, mine has the TS808 chip in it. I currently use it on Boost in front of my Analog.man Maxon OD9 Silver mod. Works great. I also love the distortion for high gain leads.
