This pedal with a Ross style compressor in front of it dialed down low with the output up through a Deluxe Reverb with a Celestion Creamback and my Heritage H-150 High Order Maximums pickups drips early Free Kossoff. I didn't know what to expect at first as it does sit up in your face and says figure me out with your setup before you judge. I've been using an OCD for a couple years and this does jump at you but it does sound good for late 60's early 70's Marshall Bliss.

@@BudgetPedalChap na it sounds nice on the video. As soon as i plugged my Snow White in it was able to be thick and syrupy and I knew instantly that this was a different sound. To confirm it I played them side by side. Sometimes the knobs on clone pedals need to be set differently so I experimented with that. I couldn’t work out whether it was defected or a bad clone. Someone commented on another pearwhite video that it was a poor clone and that solidified my belief that yea it’s just a bad clone. Shame really becuase I rate demon fx there build quality is grate and there clones of overdrives are exactly the same as the ones there cloning. I have a few.

Joyo is really doing a great job lately. I picked up a Tornado which i really like, it’s a classic-Fender-ish overdrive with a boost built in. It’s set up to be more on the transparent side, it’s really good for edge of breakup (funk/blues). And of course their American Amp pedal is super helpful for tone shaping. Their version of the Zendrive is pretty nice for clean/breakup too (Taichi).
