[@micheltremblay8914]

thank you for your time !!!

[@johnnorth9355]

There are some fine blues tones to be had and the Gary Moore bit was great ! I much prefer overdrive pedals to fuzz and this was perfectly acceptable - much more so after an adequate supply of beeeer !

[@MrPolevaulter]

Haha :D Thanks! :)

[@deanallen927]

I too like how the Fender pedal preserves the snap of the Strat pickups, like my 250. The MXR might be too dark for me although still very nice. Very "big" sounding.

[@charlesramosjr.1904]

Another awesome review, Elmo. My friend your morning reviews are as welcome as a fresh pot of coffee.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Glad to hear you like them :)

[@jessetate9701]

Mxr gt od is amazing

[@lionhead7497]

Beautiful tone, man! And I really like your styling and melody!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks!

[@suzannaandrea4306]

Very sweet bluesy loving the play always not nuf to watch once♡♡♡♡♡ yes love it great music

[@MrPolevaulter]

Suzanna Banjoknee Thank you 😊

[@timothyragland4190]

Loved the Gary Moore riffs mann

[@MrPolevaulter]

Cheers!

[@arisl2370]

Yes it is a little darker and i would say fatter sounding than using a standard TS pedal... i like using it alongside my Boss SD1 waza for solo boost

[@MrPolevaulter]

Is the Waza much better to the regular SD-1?

[@EgonEhomLundberg]

Great review and great guitarplaying, Elmo 👍

[@MrPolevaulter]

Egon Lundberg Thanks again 😊

[@jamesdaigle1543]

You are an excellent player by the way.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks!

[@pdepde9648]

Can you please do a comparison with boss od3 and the mxr GT over drive..thank you

[@MrPolevaulter]

I don't have either pedal anymore, sorry.

[@pdepde9648]

@@MrPolevaulter according to your experiences with these pedals, which pedal sound better for blues rock to do a solo guitar.? Thank you

[@jamesdaigle1543]

Pull the chassis out of the pedal, flip the switch the other way, reassemble and you’ll have a ZW-44, which is a brighter, tighter, clearer, very Boss Sd-1-like overdrive.

[@xjohn1970]

wonder if it a real ZW-44 when you flip the switch ?

[@WrenchDevil6]

@@xjohn1970 Yes.

[@Kelvin-ud4pz]

Would you recommend This Mxr GT OD, The Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer or the Xvive v7 tubedrive?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Can't say about the Xvive as I haven't tried it, but both the other ones are good.

[@Kelvin-ud4pz]

@@MrPolevaulter Alright thanks, some guitarists I like use them, Ryan Sitkowski uses the MXR GT OD, and Ray Toro uses the Ibanez TS9. Just not too sure which I'd get.

[@Gurbstein]

Nice review! The pedal has an internal switch which turns it into a ZW-44 overdrive pedal I believe. Thx Elmo!

[@SalvvOrtiz]

I have a similar one, but mine reads under the MXR logo, "custom shop" is there a difference?

[@davidtorreetxebarria]

Shin-juku drive?

[@wisnumurti8178]

is there any difference between this and the ones which has custom shop logo?

[@MrLeoMalmsteen]

Hi Elmo! Can you try the JHS Angry Charlie? Thanks!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Leonardo Estelrich I plan to 😊

[@MrLeoMalmsteen]

Great! I'll be waiting! Greetings from Argentina!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Leonardo Estelrich Might be a while as I have a bunch of videos made. I also planned to compare it to the Boss Katana.

[@MagisterTuomo]

Elmo Raakanaama Karjalainen faces off with the Mxr. I've never really liked the mxr-series. Don't know why, they build good pedals. They just don't fit well with my ears. But the review was good 👍. Funny and to the point and comparing it to the YM is the way to go. The extra voices in the beginning even scared the cat. Probably because of his masters' amused reaction 🤔 though.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Glad to have been amusing :D Say hi to the cat from Mr. Raakanaama

[@hoboroadie]

Tone is a very personal thing. Like Elmo I like getting pedals and forming my own opinion. Stacking drives at unity seems to be my thing right now but some day I figure I can find "the one". Build-wise, MXR are about my favorite. Solid is solid. (And my friend James DePrato plays on some of their ads.)

[@MrPolevaulter]

hoboroadie They're built very nicely 😊

[@OrkhanJulfa]

MXR reminds me early Yngwie tone from Alcatrazz era

[@pmamiaro]

BACH... yeah

[@robertfalconer5054]

Its a good pedal, But the MXR Il Diavola is far superior, check it out.. Great review as usual Elmo.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks Robert. I've had my eye on that one a while, and will definitely do a review of it at some point.

[@LiveToPlayGuitar]

I generally like MXR products...I still use my analog delay (carbon copy) but this OD pedal sounds a little dark to me...maybe the crunchy cereal overdrive you mentioned sat in the milk too long...just saying...nice demo though thanks! 🎸🔊🎶🤘🏻

[@MrOzgooner]

Hi Elmo Did you know this pedal is actually 2 pedals in 1 ? There is a dip switch only accessed from the circuit board when you disassemble the pedal.. If you click that switch it actually becomes the Zakk Wylde circuit overdrive.. If you still have that pedal would love to see a proper demo..there is another video showing this but I'm sure you could do a better job... Cheers man...your channel rocks !!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that. Sadly I already sold it.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Oh, and thanks for the kind words.

[@omnitemplarvii2160]

IT's Julian Assange!

[@Dicktopus]

That Cube... Pls test it, :D

[@MrPolevaulter]

Kristóf Iglai Will do 😊
