I have purchased and compared several "overdrive" pedals recently, trying to find another to come close to the ripping sound of my old Marshall Blues Breaker. I am using just a Gretsch Junior Jet II bass, not guitar. Throughout the pedals tried, I commonly find added splutter, chatter, or a plasticy snap added to each note's pick strike, midrange boomp that can't be eliminated with tone adjustment but is just a common design feature, buzzy or sand-grainy, or not pleasant overdrive/distortion, fuzzing out on the low E string, loss of the natural string sound of the low E, a persistence of the overdrive fuzz when turned up that corrupts the next notes, especially on the low E, in some cases just creating a mess. The Marshall Blues Breaker retains low string stringy tone, has a clarity without midrange hump, has no chatter or sputter laid onto the note, even when at maximum gain. It's a cleaner signal than all these others, even if plenty distorted, with its ripping sheets tear. Then I saw a video demo of the Guyatone OD-2, really the only good demo of it online. Lovely, but would it work for my bass? YES! The sound is absolutely the closest to the Blues Breaker of anything i've found. There is info out there that the design purposely did not include tone control circuitry so as to retain the original signal's sound, and that's immediately apparent. Beautiful, non-chattery, non-snappy, non-boompy, non-fuzzed-out tone. I am delighted to find a sorta Blues Breaker 'clone'. No other pedal has come close to 'cloning' the Blues Breaker. These are about as rare as Blues Breakers but worth the hunt. Simple excellence.

Awesome tape delay emulation, not an old dark tape but a new clear one. Great self oscillation and decay, unusual and lots of character. Cutting tone, somewhere between digital and analogue. If you're after a unique delay sound get it!

Compact, portable, high quality little delay unit. Very convenient to take a bag full of these guyatone pedals and an amp for practice. High quality too.
This is one of the most clean and crisp digital delays i've ever played, and i own 6 delay pedals. Great buy. I recommend this pedal to anyone who wants a great digital delay.
Great sound!!! I recommend this pedal to anyone seeking a good delay unit who doesnt want to fork over several hundred dollars. Delay signals come back crystal clear and for me there was no tone loss detected
