Critic Reviews

Red Witch Seven Sisters FX; Lily, Ruby, Scarlett & Ivy

guitarinteractivemagazine.com

The Red Witch Scarlett Overdrive impresses with its rechargeable lithium-ion battery, offering up to 120 hours of playtime, adding convenience for gigging musicians. It's praised for its thick, organic tone and ample drive that maintains the guitar's character, making it a strong contender for boosting your setup. While tested with a clean Supro combo, its true potential shines with a cranked amp, suggesting it's a killer addition for Marshall users. Overall, the Scarlett Overdrive is a standout in Red Witch's Seven Sisters series, combining practicality with excellent sound quality.

This pedal is brilliant... IF you overlook the fundamental flaws. Firstly, the tone control is on the inside of the pedal which means, unless they both use the same drive tone, this only works for one song per gig. Secondly, if you use it while it charges it squeals badly and even if you take it off charge it still hisses. Tonally it's beautiful and the Li-ion battery was a neat idea, but it wasn't executed well enough.
