EHX Glove - Late 60's/Early 70's Dark Drive Tones

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

I use the tone knob exclusively from the 3:00 position and higher because that's 'parity' high end to my ear. If you leave it at noon, that is a high-end cut. The gain structure is very classic and amp-like, it's an incredible rhythm tone for a two guitar mix.. This and the WA Iron Horse (RAT) are the two distortion flavors that I keep in constant usage and have for the last 6-7 years.

Yeh, I found that you can use the tone knob pretty high without it getting fizzy, which is unusual for a drive pedal. I had no idea the Iron Horse was RAT based, a friend of mine offered to lend me one of those to try. I'll have to see if he still has it.

I found it worked best with a very big delay sound on things like the Comfortably Numb style solo’s. Its probably the fuzziness of it that makes it work. It’s definitely not an every song pedal!!!

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

The amps I have are quite dark already and so are my guitars, so I think for me this was the wrong combination, but with the right setup I can see it working. It certainly felt nice to play on, lovely and squashy. EVERYTHING sounds better with huge delay! Haha!

I thought it was quite an old school cool sounding pedal, in a good way. And if your super stank face is anything to go by, you liked it. 👍🏻

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

Yeh, it's a nice inexpensive drive sound. Haha! 'Stank face', I need to keep control of that! (Sorry about the slow reply, had to change out a fan on my computer.)

There's an internal 18v switch if you didn't know.

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

Yes, I knew.

[@JimmyTorque]

They should just call it the ZZ Top box.

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

I didn't think of ZZ, I could have gone for one of the grooves off the 1st album!

[@andreacampana4754]

What about the 9 or 18v internal switch? In my opinion it affects the tone drastically

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

I like compressed sounds, so preferred the 9v.

[@Jazzwithbite]

Have you tried the EHX analogizer?

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

I haven't, I had to look that up as I'd not heard of it. Interesting concept. Probably not something I need, as I don't use a very big pedalboard and my sound is plenty warm enough, but you've got to hand it to EHX for being constantly creative.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

I have an idea, just get any OD pedal and turn down the tone if you want the same effect?
