Stone Deaf Warp Drive Hi Gain Dist. & EQ

Avevo bisogno di una distorsione con molto carattere da implementare in pedaliera e non potevo puntare su di meglio per questa fascia prezzo.
Il Warp Drive si presenta come una distorsione dal colore davvero caratteristico che passa dall'hard rock anni '70 al metal anni '90, ha un livello di manipolazione davvero impressionante grazie anche all'EQ che permette di definire in modo semplice il tono.
Tra i pro bisogna citare il Gate, che di fatto permette di "domare" una distorsione così violenta e renderla nitida anche per le parti più ritmiche.
Punto debole le dimensioni non proprio accessibili per le pedaliere più piccole.
Consigliato per chi cerca una distorsione prominente, caratteristica e dalla grafica pazzesca.

I was looking for a distortion pedal that could sound as close as possible to amp distortion, previously I had not found anything that quite did the job. This has got to be the best distortion I have ever heard from any pedal if you dial it in! There is such a range of sound tuning options that I was even able to get a good sound with it plugged into a small solid state amp that I only use for practice normally. It has plenty of gain and a decent output which is great at pushing the amp input - great for valves. Almost infinite tonal options with the parametric style EQ. Really impressed with the sound and the possibilities to fine tune. The other bonus is the noise gate, this can be set so that is does not interfere with decaying notes or feedback, but stops unwanted noise that you might expect with high gain settings. Absolutely great!
It can also be used at lower gain settings with high output to act as an overdrive, although there is still some mild distortion at minimum gain the boost can be used as overdrive. The only criticism is the blue LED is super bright when the pedal is switched on, and the first one I got had a power socket that was not straight- I returned it and the replacement is now.
I first considered buying the Stone Deaf Q-Boost Overdrive after seeing some great reviews of that but took a gamble and went for this instead as I wanted the higher gain. There seems to be very little review material out there on this pedal, in my opinion this pedal is a very well kept secret!
