OVERDRIVE- ALEXANDER PEDALS JUBILEE SILVER OVERDRIVE....beginners paradise!!!



ALEXANDER PEDALS

JUBILEE SILVER OVERDRIVE

This is a pedal version of a 1987 Marshall golden 2555 Jubilee amp. The amp itself even came clad in silver vinyl.
This is yet another Marshall JMC 800 pedal

$190.00 USD

So what's better about this one?
Sound wise it NOTHING!!! LOL
There are many I like better. I own several JCM 800 style pedals.

....SO WHY IS EVEN BEING REVIEWED ?  

In a word it is TIGHT...very tight but without that keeping it from having a half decent full sound.

If you consider yourself a beginner or are someone that does not want to deal with using your technique or perhaps a gate to keep the sound under control  ...then this is for you.
You can back it off for a good mid gain pedal to do things like accompaniment style playing. You can crank it with a bit a lush mid range for a classic  lead sound. You can even scoop it to get a very controllable and surprisingly impressive Metal sound.
It is the essential Swiss army Knife distortion pedal.

So in short ...great sounding ...easy to control ...easy to set up a good sound with a nice 3 way EQ ...and versatile.

It is a bit pricy for a beginner.
BUT..this thing is not 'training wheels' for a beginner on a bike...
a lot of players consider a very tight sounding pedal even with years of playing and a very good technique to be the sign of a superior pedal.
For those that hate having to fuss to get a good sound ...this is your pedal.
Easy to set up in seconds to get several basic but useful sounds.
BULLET PROOF!!!
I think no matter where in the future your playing takes you this pedal will be a 'keeper.'



Sorry to those waiting for this review ....especially this lady _______________________________
