Slight modification makes this great
By Guitar guy
This is a great base OD/distortion pedal. Open it up and replace the stock 12AX7 tube with a 12AU7 tube (I used JJ Tesla). Far far better distortion OD. I tried lots of different tube types even used 12AE7 (meant for 12V plate operation). Generally, what I found is that the lower gain factor tube types work really well with these type of pedals; 12AU7 was by far the best. Now, that's information you'll not easily find! Enjoy it.

Behringer Scores - For Once
By Ernie
Behringer has a reputation for products that are cheaply made and perform poorly.After using this both for rehearsals and a live 'gig' I can say without reservation, Behringer has hit a home run with this one.What possessed me to try this Overdrive stomp box - I listened to clips on their page (at the click of a button you can hear the clip with the box or sans box), read reviews et cetera.And the relatively inexpensive price compared to boutique boxes.It's a 12AX7 preamp with Gain, Master Volume, Bass, Treble, Midrange and a Noise Threshold controls.The tube is an Eastern European 12AX7, a nice jobber boxed Sylvania made the tone warm up considerably.The noise gate is useful since the tube can easily be driven into distortion.The switch is a tru-bypass - however it is not a mechanical switch. If you're looking for a satisfying click to denote when the box is switched, you will be left looking at the LEDs instead.It runs off my pedal board, although it comes with it it's own power supply.My one and only complaint is the sheer size of the box - it covers more than half of my pedal board.

By Amazonian
This is a great sounding pedal - I was shocked when I went into a store asking about a good marshall-esque distortion pedal and they pointed to this gem. I was looking at $200 pedals, and kept asking about the expensive ones and they kept pointing me to the $75 pedal - fine, I'll try it. I am glad I did. The store had several and they all sounded different, which is clearly attributed to the variations in the generic tubes that ship with them. Buy one on Amazon and grab yourself a handful of spare 12AX7s (or any compatible tube) and go to town until you find one you like. I ended up with a Jan-Phillips 12AX7WA in mine which gives it a great over the top marshall sound - good and grindy. I had two different Jan-Phillips and one sounded so-so while the other was defined and clear. So, working through several different tubes is important to make this pedal work for you - it will be worth the time spent.
