DonnerOverdrive Guitar Pedal, Blues Drive Vintage Overdrive Effect Warm/Hot Modes for Pedal Boards Electric Guitar, True Bypass

This pedal seems to be built well and who could argue that the price isn't right?! I really like this pedal and of the sub $50 pedals available this seems to have the most options. I've learned from experience that you should never buy a guitar pedal that doesn't have an effects volume knob. This one does, it's called "Mix". Mix simply brings the volume of the effect louder or quieter. The different options for type of delay including a modulation and a reverse delay are also pretty cool. Overall, it sounds good, it does what it's supposed to do, and it plays well with my multipedal power source and other pedals in my chain. There might be better pedals for more money, but this one seems to be the best with the most options under $50. And for an effect I use rather lightly/quietly, just for a touch of wetness in my guitar sound, it's not worth spending any more than just buying this pedal. But, without it I feel lost. Reverb and Delay are an absolute must for me. This pedal gets it done for my ears. I noticed right away that I enjoyed playing more with this pedal on than without it. I know the yellow delay gets a lot of praise, but this one has more options, I say buy this one.

I've found my perfect match with this guitar pedal, and I couldn't be happier. As a guitarist who primarily uses a Godin A6 Ultra Hybrid Acoustic Guitar with a humbucker pickup, I've been on the hunt for a pedal that would seamlessly enhance my sound without taking up too much precious space on my pedal board. This pedal not only fits the bill but also exceeded my expectations.My main goal was to find a pedal that could provide that sweet crunch when I blend in my humbucker with the piezo pickup for lead guitar moments. This pedal has proven to be the ideal solution. Its subtle yet effective impact on my tone is just what I was looking for.I've been using the warm setting predominantly, and I must say that the pedal's crunch isn't overpowering. It adds a layer of depth and character to my sound, enhancing my humbucker's output without overshadowing the uniqueness of the piezo pickup. It's like the pedal was tailor-made for my setup.One of the aspects that truly stood out to me is the pedal's ability to maintain the balance between the different pickups. It's a delicate dance, and this pedal has nailed it. The warm setting, in particular, has become my go-to choice, providing the perfect level of grit without compromising the overall harmony of my sound.Overall, I'm thoroughly pleased with this pedal's performance so far. It has enhanced my playing experience and brought a new dimension to my music. If you're like me, searching for a pedal that complements your hybrid acoustic guitar setup without overwhelming it, I highly recommend giving this pedal a try. It has certainly earned its place on my pedal board and in my heart.Pros:Ideal for blending humbucker and piezo pickupsSubtle crunch without overpoweringMaintains balance and harmonyCompact size perfect for pedal boardsCons:None encountered in my experienceIn summary, this pedal has filled a void in my setup that I didn't even know existed.

If you're looking for a rat pedal but don't want to spend a ton of money, this is a great deal. It does all of the things you want a rat to do, from the harsh bright thrash-y sounds to that delightful barely-driven rat tone. The clipping options are nice, and give you the option to get into really harsh distortion. Even though I have a more expensive rat clone, I do still sometimes find myself coming back to this pedal for certain sounds.My big complaint about this pedal is that its baseline level is VERY loud. Unity volume is barely above 0, and anything past noon will be audible to the entirely neighborhood. This makes accessing those edge-of-breakup tones tricky, but it is possible. Also this pedal doesn't sound super great with the tone turned down all the way, it needs a bit of brightness to make it shine.
