OVERDRIVE-SITEK Coaco OD/Distortion ...impressive on every level!!!! ...a short list contender!

 SITEK COACO OD/DISTORTION 
$145.00 USD

Sitek are the new kid on the block. They are from Poland, according to the site but the pedals are handmade in Cork Ireland. One of the most impressive things is to flip off the bottom plate and quite literally marvel at all the hand done soldering and wiring. No cheaping out on the parts either. They do a full line of pedals and have built up a great rep in parts of Europe but now they have popped up over here simply on merit alone.

They use both soft and hard clipping and both are voiced to great effect. I think a lot of guys who have preferred pedals from either camp will end up using both as the Caoco hard clipping has bite but is not harsh and soft clipping is warm and rich but not the mellow jazz fusion thing. There is a lot of gain so you can get both great medium gain thru some nice high gain sounds.

The old school graphics will be pushing some buttons west of Poland but they are pretty tame.

CONCLUSION
Well made, two nice nice Brit voicing's, lots of gain and very reasonably priced!
A winner!!!
