Transparent and amazing

All the reviews of this I've read are excellent. What I found was that this pedal works great into just about anything and that's when playing Single Coils or Humbuckers, it works especially well if it's stacked with other gain stages. This is my favorite overdrive ever, and I've had a few of them, this is a simple unit that lets you dial in the sound you want very quickly. Get this and you won't need another OD, well...as long as you have some degree (no matter how small) of dirt in your chain somewhere else to selectively stack this with.

"For this recording, I was plugged directly into an iMac, using Guitar Rig 4 for convenience. My Blackstar was killing the neighbours.. For the looping on Bold as Love, I used a Boss RC-2 and for the overdrive at the end and a Zombie Klone made by London-based company Fredric Effects. Also, a JM signature series Strat fitted with Radioshop Pickups (check them out!)"
