I think it sounds best with a Strat and a Hiwatt or a Reeves amp. This is a fantastic OD pedal with many options to boot. I think it will sound better without it and the reissues keep to that original vintage style which I appreciate too. Also, you'll need a separate outlet to power it since it does not have a normal Boss style 9v or 18v plug. So you'll need some room on your pedal board to house this beast. My beef with it though is that it is pretty big. Not nearly as gainy as a BM but has similar characteristics as one though. If you turn it all the up it starts to break up like a fuzz pedal or Big Muff. It works as a good clean boost with the Tube Drive lower and as you move it clock wise you will quickly get good overdrive. Couple that with an analog delay such as a Wampler analog echo or a MXR Carbon Copy and you are done. Better yet use it with a Reeves custom 100, keep the Hi Eq lower and the Drive bout noonish, and there you have that vintage Gilmorish tone. Since this pedal is so synonymous with Pink Floyd and David Gilmore, I would test it out on a Hiwatt Dr103 and a Strat. This peal is a good pedal with trying to get a tube screamer tone as well as getting a little clean boost as well. There are so many tones available in the pedal that a slight adjustment will change the dynamic of the gain and EQ.
You have to let your ears be the judge on this pedal because the range or tone is so vast that you really have to be gentile when dialing it in. It is rather large so keep that in mind.Įasy as pie to set up.
You can do quite a bit of variation with this pedal if you have enough space on your pedal board for it. The controls allow you to get some interesting overdrive settings. It is a standard analog pedal with no midi function or digital adjusting controls. The connection is easy but be prepared to use it in an outlet because it doesn't have a Boss style plug in, so the pedal power is out unless you don't have anything else with a three pronged cord. The tone feels very natural and cascading like a normal gain stage of a tube amp would do. This is a unique and classic tube driven style overdrive stomp box.
This is a classic overdrive pedal used by professionals such as by Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, David Gilmour and many others. About as close as you can get to the original Chandler Tube Driver.
