Great Valve Overdrive pedal with really crunchy sounds.
This pedal has a real valve inside it. You can see it working while the pedal is turned on. There is also a on/off button in the front part of it so that you can turn it on and leave the valve warming up before using the pedal, just like a valve amp. The sounds are great. You can get everything from mild and crunchy drive to really strong and aggressive overdrive tones. I really recommend this little pedal.
