Great value pedal.
K. 11.11.2020
It can be used as an amp sim or just in your pedal chain before your your amp and it gives a great tone option, especially good for giving increased treble prescence and brightening a muddy humbucker. I have an old school bluesbreaker upstream and together they sound great. However, not true bypass and, when off, gives unwanted noise. You can leave it on all the time and quickly dial in fairly neutral settings. I also use it direct into my usb audio interface for my DAW and it works well. There are about 4 of these pedals simulating various well known amps. For the money it is unbelievable.

Joyous

Yes it's pretty much the same as a certain Chinese pedal from the online marketplaces, without the metallic finish but at 2/3 the price. Sounds better than any actual amp I own, but admittedly a deluxe reverb isn't one of them. Leave your amp at home, promise the other band's guitarist you won't touch their settings, stick this in the effects loop and you're good to go.

Allsidig og god "Fender"-pedal
bonsaibeard 18.04.2023
Perfekt pedal om du liker "Fender"-lyd. Her har du det meste i fender-spekteret og med gode justeringsmuligheter med 3 bånds EQ. Fin kopi av Tech 21 sin Blonde. Blonde låter litt mer åpent og en tanke bedre, men med tanke på prisforskjellen, så er det marginalt.

Amazing boost pedal
TMPHY 28.01.2024
Originally, this was my #1 overdrive pedal before it got replaced, but ever since I've been using it as a gain/booster pedal, and it's amazing. With the right power supply (don't use a cheap one), it gives a really clean tone and really specific gain levels.

Fender Who?
MrFlitz 23.11.2017
For the price you simply will not find an analog true bypass Fender amp sim/drive pedal that sounds even a quarter as good as the American TrueTone.
I use the pedal to record directly into Protools and it does an excellent job, recreating various Fender amps with ease.
the built quality is solid, housed in a metal frame that even the heaviest of boot would struggle to make a dent in.
I would recommend the pedal to anyone, even as a spare "Amp" for playing live, just plug it in to the PA and it'll get you through the night.
The only bad point i can see it the battery cover is a little cheap but for this price can you really complain? Anything else in this price range will be made from plastic and sound like a wasp farting in a tin can... So do yourself a favor, buy it.

CQ
Awesome on bass!
Chris Q. 03.05.2018
My band does a lot of out of town shows and often the drums and bass amp are whatever we arrive at. We use a lot of dirtier tones and often times you can arrive and find you're playing into a Trace Elliot or something else that's a bit too "clean" for what we want.

Well I'm pleased to say it sounds awesome, really cool aggressive distortion that's very reminiscent of a driven amp head. I'd recommend one for anyone doing a lot of shows where they're unsure of what the amp they meet will be like - for bass just run into the input, for guitar players you can always try the return of the FX loop. Enjoy!
