OVERDRIVE- PRO TONE PEDALS Attack Ovedrive ...METAL ...innovative!!!...great sound ...fairly priced

 PRO TONE ATTACK OVERDRIVE 

$200.00 USD

A pedal designed specifically for Modern Metal.
Like most Metal pedals it uses a 4558 dual amplifier which is an op-amp. This is actually a bit raunchy but a real tube is not ...so the blend gives you warmth but bite and definition. SRV used a ts10 with the same op-amp and his tone was hardly harsh.
I find it ironic that the chip is used in low gain OD's and Metal OD where as the things in between favor FET transisters. lol  Most of my pedals use FET's

The layout is simple enough with Volume, Tone and Gain.
It's special feature is a six way switch which cuts the lows to get a tight bass sound. In its lowest setting it is in reality turned off and you get a full bass response. 
This is done using a low pass filter ...as the name implies it is how much of the lower part of the bass frequency's are allowed to get past the filter and become part of your sound and how many are blocked from coming thru. 
Confused? 
Well think of this way ...there is extra low bass, medium low bass and then some bass that borders on mids. The filter starts by cutting the extra low ...then cuts the medium low etc. as you go thru the switch positions. 
The designers have kept the upper mid range thick and full so that the tone is 
still full but focused even when slicing off a lot of lows.
.
If you are still a Tube Screamer guy it is worth moving up to this pedal for that switch alone.
It aims at giving you a modern metal tone and it does just that. It is not harmonically rich with a bit of a classic Marshall sound coming thru like a Revv pedal. It has a glistening shiny smooth synthetic metallic tone.
One treat is it is free from any hash or fizz!

CONCLUSION

Keep in mind this is NOT an Overdrive in the traditional sense that it is not meant to be a stand alone amp-in-box but a pedal to overload a crunch or distorted tone and beef it up, extend the sustain and unlike other OD's give you control and shaping of your sound.

If you are going to push it thru a clean amp you are into things like the REVV G series.

I ordered one to stack on unruly dirt pedals ...I will give you a HANDS ON when I get it.

I have the LPD Eighty7 a JCM 800 in a box and the TC Electronics Fangs. 

I just got DMS Drive Maker with the biggest fattest Low end Metal sound on the planet.

I also have picked up a Gervana Ji Si distortion which does the MESA Dual Rectifier thing.

...they all sound twice as good with the Attack OD               stacked on them.They make playing any heavy                 distortion pedals heaven!
