AMAZON BASICS DISTORTION
Just when I thought it was safe! This was brought to my attention.
 |
| $25.00 USD |
A line of pedals called Amazon Basics.
This is a rebranded Nux Mini Core Brownie.
It has long sold under the KOKO label as well so I took advantage of 4 years of video's to choose from.
Over the years the image of Chinese slave labor and junk parts and pedals put together with chewing gum persists, The truth is the parts have to be reliable when your world distributors like Amazon are buying in volume. Using high tech machinery that can do runs of 2000 a day if needed are becoming the norm.
The Nux Brownie at Guitar Centre sells for $50.
CONCLUSION
A fat balzy tone with bit of a Brit sound. Not a lot of sustain but a good basic crunch pedal. If you have a particularly good Fuzz that at time needs some sweetening stacking that Fuzz on this would give you two killer sounds instead of one.
Finally it is worth noting you can coincidentally buy the NUX Plexi Crunch pedal for $50.00 USD. Yes it is twice the money but it it sounds as good as many OD in the $200 range.
You can while they are still on sale buy one of 7 different AMT Mini Drive pedals like the S-drive a Soldano-in-a-Box
...or you can choose an Orange, Engl, or Engl Concord a JCM 800, or a
Bogner or Peavey 5150! ...Killer and only $45.00 USD
i had a Kokko distortion. i liked it but just was not my kind of sound. I didn't understood what it is supposed to sounds like.
