Customer Reviews
A Monster of an Overdrive -- A no-brainer at this price
This pedal is quite simply a monster of an overdrive, and a
complete no-brainer to buy at this price. Over the past year, I have
sampled about two dozen overdrive, distortion and boost pedals --
mostly by boutique pedal makers. This pedal stands among the best of
them. It provides a huge about of clean boost, with a very flexible EQ
(treble and bass), and also a lot of gain if you want it. The range of
tones available is remarkable, and the EQ is extremely useable (try it
at extreme settings, and it still gives you great sounds). At this
price, I would think just about any electric guitarist who plays rock /
blues / and other genres along those lines would be interested in using
it. It's also true bypass, and the enclosure is solid, unlike
Danelectro's lower-line stuff.
Favorite OD boost pedal.
This pedal has ousted my Bad Monkey, Love Pedal Eternity, Boosta
Grande, HT Dual and Route 808. I still use those pedals but I use the
CTO-1 way more often. It covers alot of ground. True by-pass. It was
the only pedal to sound good with my Night Train. What a finicky amp
that is when it comes to pedals.
I use the Transparent Overdrive on my Marshall DSL50 boosting the
red channel and the crunch. It makes me not like the amps own gain by
itself. Guitar volume roll off is natural and the tone stays intact.
Its open sounding, doesn't compress like other pedals. It responds to
pick attack. Pick lightly and it cleans up. The clarity of the notes
while chording is present and again strumming/picking hard or light
will make a marked difference.
For $40 you can't lose using this as a clean boost or boosting the front end of an already overdriven amp.
I'm a blues/rock player and this pedal is in my chain always. Its
responsiveness and open tone is why I like it so much for the stuff I
play. I like it more than my $200 pedals cause it sounds and responds
better. For $40 do you still need to think about it?
