OVERDRIVE- A PEDAL THAT CLONES AN AMP PERFECTLY PT. 1

WHY THIS RARELY HAPPENS...

It takes a lot of research...a lot of trial and error...and lot of money. But that is not the main reason.

For example with a Marshall Plexi..you bring in a perfect example. Maybe even 2 or 3 stacks, a vintage Strat and a Les Paul...you bring in a good guitarist. Three years...yes years...you have a pretty scary clone!

BUT VERY FEW BUY IT!!!

WHY?

Well...I even owned a real Plexi for years...over which time I had a Strat...LP and a Flying V.

BUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I JUDGED THE PEDAL AGAINST A RECORDING OF SOME GREAT MUSICIAN.

Skip any studio stuff and you are still judging the tone you hear... Perhaps there was a Rangemaster Treble Booster and a Sola Sound Tone Bender placed between the guitar and amp. Or if you hear a Marshall JCM 800...the odds are it was being overdriven by a Boss SD-1 Distortion pedal.

So a successful OD builder takes this in mind. That is why so many can exist in the market place. at the same time...and this accounts for the endless variations and compromises that make up the pedal
Yes that perfect amp could be a clone of perhaps Jimmy Page of Zep. including his treble booster and Fuzz sound designed into the pedal.

The Pedals That Clones An Amp Perfectly

A FENDER DELUXE

There are 2 pedals that clone a 57 Fender Deluxe...The Tech21 Blonde
...and the Joyo American which  is a clone of the Tech21. Watch the 2 vids.
.
Either pedal is good. The Tech21 is mildly tighter sounding....
... the Joyo is slightly more open but as you will see just as impressive.
.
...the YouTube vid...' Joyo American Sound Amp Simulation Pedal'....with Shane compares the pedal with the actual amp....If you have a Marshall...what a treat...get this and have 2 amps.

THE JOYO AMERICAN

Current Price $30.00 USD

TECH21 BLONDE

Tech21 vs Joyo American

I have owned 2 Twin Reverbs ...I always loved the clean sound.
