OVERDRIVE- FULLTONE RTO Robin Trower Signature OD ...a classic sound. NAILED!!!

$200.00 USD
FULLTONE RTO ROBIN TROWER SIGNATURE OD

Well Trower has been a players ...player for decades. A very nice unassuming guy playing the Blues rock genre of the late 60's with his own and very compelling style.

If anything unlike modern metal ...tone is everything ...quite simply because the music is laid back and very much about savoring every note.

It is a basic set up. I expect they wanted to nail just Robin's
sound as close as possible so the voice is fixed with just a bit of tone to match the room as Robin uses Marshall 50 watt Plexi's. 
In my mind you can not get a better sound. Sure there are
other great sounds ...BUT better? No.



Conclusion
Well it is as classic a sound as you can find. If that's your thing ...bingo
stop right here!
The pedal is rich in harmonics without a trace of fizz or fuzziness. Even more impressive there is not even a hint of graininess ...pedals that try for this are often very liquid the tone has no texture but not this one. It may seem nothing special but getting this sound with the gain pulled back is near impossible. In fact the only pedal I  can think of the Free the Tones String Slinger and it very Fender sounding and TWICE the price!
When I think of a dirt sound but with great tone I think of this!
Bullet proof tone!!!
