5.0 out of 5 stars My first pedal, October 17, 2004

I have a crate 15 watt amp with no reverb and the hot head distortion pedal makes some amazing sounds like solo, british modern, classic stack, and country blues. It makes my guitar playing sound so much better than the little gain knob on my amp!

2.0 out of 5 stars I don't like it live., June 28, 2011

I bought the pedal to use 2-4 times a night to get over the top 80's hard rock/metal tones. This box sounded OK in the home studio but sounded awlful live at stage level. You have to crank the output all the way up to get back to unity gain. My guitar sounded like a highly compressed kazoo. Again it sounds OK at living room volume but not live used in conjunction with a Mesa Boogie DC-5 amp.

Before I bought This pedal I did alot of shopping around, and I finaly settled with this, and am I glad I did! As soon as I turned this pedal on, it made my puny 10 watt amp sound like a full stack! it sounds absolutely perfect for ac/dc type rock, I also found that it was wonderful for classic rock, hard rock, and maybe really light ozzy like metal(I recomend Crazy Train, PERFECT!, solo sounds good too) I think anyone looking for this kind of music, this is perfect for you, but if you want heavy metal, dont go this way go death metal pedal. but before you buy, you really should shop around and find what suits you the best :)
