Overdrive pedal more Blues oriented as its name suggests ... (Anything?)
Appears to be a copy of the Boss Blues Driver (BD2)
100% analog as almost the entire range of Behringer pedals.
1 jack in / out jack 1 - 9v power supply input.
Level - Tone - Gain

Plastic shell (that's why only 9 / 10)

UTILIZATION

Easy to use (if you are really stupid)
A manual?! Why a manual?!

Used with a customized EMG DG20 + Start, Telecaster, and a copy of a copy of SG.
Not a pet breath to report!

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent for a range of Blues sounds like SRV, Buddy Guy, etc ...
You can have a very clean sound and warm. We can therefore use in this case only with the low gain boost.
Or otherwise have the clean / crunch by pushing a little gain. Moreover, it responds very well to the attack! Moving from a clean sound to a creamy crunch just by pressing more notes.
Can also be used to overdrive the Rolling Stones rock genre or sound a bit like Pete Townshend (current period).

Regarding the use distortion at the beginning I was skeptical, but it goes pretty well and even beyond. The sound becomes more "fat" but loses definition, however, if the drive is at the bottom. We will not be able to do with metal, but a good old Hard Rock, OK!

Note: it has a small tendency to boost the treble, but this is corrected with the tone. I would say it's an advantage with humbuckers. It is a misfortune with my SG ..

In any case, it still sounds very light regardless of use.

I could compare it a few weeks ago with the Boss Blues Driver.
Now there's no doubt, the BO100 well a copy of the Blues Driver. By flipping a pedal to another, the sound is almost identical ...

OVERALL OPINION

What I like? All.
The warm and creamy. Respect for the sound of the guitar (very low coloration).
The possibility of using only boost.
And especially if it's Bluesy I love so much!
This pedal is super versatile, allowing to cover a wide range of sound.

I'm really in love, and more in terms of price, why not use it!

on the other hand, any hair metal, go your way! This pedal is not for you. So instead of putting rotten advice because it is not enough "distortion" to taste, buy the ultra Metal or other ...
