Especially nice set as above with a Tele and a clean Fender tube amp, but sounds nearly as good with a Top Hat Club Royale EL84 amp

I'm running it through my Crate solid state amp, and am playing an Epi Dot, BC Rich Mockingbird, and a New York Pro (Strat copy), with many other pedals in the chain.

Just the thing to boost the volume and break up the amp just a little more.

I would not expect this pedal to make a solid state amp growl like a high gain tube amp, but at the same time it might give some nice overtones and grit that could be exactly what you're after.

I bought one of these a month ago, specifically looking for a blue driver that would put a little dirt on it, or really boost the dirt channel of an amp or push clean amp into break up earlier and angrier

I have not tried it with a solid state amp, and I believe that the sound with solid state will be quite different.

I did notice it doesn't "pop" when used on my Line 6 solid state amp but that amp has so many effects built in I don't need a separate pedal

I've run it through a Fender Blues Jr. and also a Yamaha solid state modeling amp, and it sounds amazing through both

This pedal really opens up your amp and gives amp-like overdrive (vs processed/pedal-y sounding overdrive).

My little 25W solid state amp now sounds (to my ears) like the tube amps my other band mates have

the drive at 7:30, and the tone at 5 and use it to boost my amps and thicken the tone a bit

In that setup I can dial in more gain without getting harsh overtones and with a little clean volume boost as

I have tested both the buffered and unbuffered signal options (as well as on other pedals) and I can not tell a huge difference between the two, though this is almost certainly due to my personal rig rather than any benefit or flaw of the pedal.
