Wonderful clean boost and warm overdrive too.

Gives nice sustain to both clean and dirty notes and when you bump up the volume knob on the pedal, you can use it as a clean boost

The level knob adds a pleasing gain boost that I may keep the pedal for as a dedicated boost.

I'm not sure want to roll with the Crunch Distortion being the only dirt box on my board, but if you used it with a specific purpose in mind (like a lead/gain boost), you could afford this and Joyo's excellent "Ultimate Drive" overdrive pedal for still less than most boutique or even BOSS distortion pedals go for

It is such a bad ass pedal, I may use the $100 Blues Overdrive as the clean boost and keep this as my light distortion.

I always run my guitar through a clean boost first

In that setup, I primarly use it as a clean boost, sometimes dialing up a little attitude

So, while the OCD provides a better, more neutral clean boost and gentle overdrive, the Joyo is great choice to save money

Also works great as a boost

it's pretty clean sounding and little if any coloration of sound, silent switching and about 6DB max of available clean boost

The range of sounds you can get with this is incredible, from a clean boost, to a crunchy overdrive,to a screamin' almost-distortion

It should offer more headroom even though 9 volt operation yields plenty of clean boost

I use as a clean boost and it's great

i use a joyo vintage overdrive for clean boost/slight overdrive and kick this pedal in to really get raunchy.

Because, if you like, you can dial it back and use it as a clean channel boost that is brilliantly clear and full.

Dirt, solo boost, drive, clean boost, and then that only slightly dirty od which sounds great on a fender

It gives me just enough boost and added overdrive to get the hard rock that I like.

It will work as boost or distortion pedal but your results will vary depending on your amp

The Ultimate Drive has a bright boost/rolloff switch, whereas the Crunch Distortion does not.

It sounds really good with the gain rolled down too, as more of a clean boost with some bottom end and fullness

I would say the OCD is smoother and does a better job as a clean boost, while the Joyo gets into the dirt a little quicker and is more agressive

But, by bringing the gain down, setting it on the high switch, and bringing the level knob past noon, it's a really solid Boost pedal

Through a light crunch channel it gives a fair gain boost and a good amount of sustain, which I like, and through a more saturated crunch it gives a nice little kick more great classic rock lead tone

It was a nice boost

I was wanting a pedal that goes from basically a clean boost to more overdrive than I really want

This pedal is almost completely unusable on a dirty channel if the tone knob isn’t past 2 o’clock, and the JF-02 cannot be used as a clean boost because even the level control adds to the break up

So, I got this "cheap" pedal as to use as a clean boost to my Blues Overdrive.

The only benefit to the volume increase is that it can double as a clean boost pedal (with the Intensity and Rate knobs rolled all the way off..not bad for a sub $30

Unity is around 9 o'clock, 11-12 o'clock provides a nice boost

it has nice tone dynamics going on inside of it , very nice as a clean boost and also a great overdrive

I also like it as a slight boost/pre into my amp or

this pedal is also alright for a cleaner boost although that's not what I use it for

IF you use this as a clean boost its not transparent

This pedal achieves warm and chimey tube amp tones similar to that of Fender and Vox (as it is supposed to) this pedal covers it all, clean boost, light overdrive, all the way to over the top feed back and distortion

Its responsive to your picking attack, its distortion is very very harmonically rich, and it does give you a Marshall type sound, good boost in the mids and bass, giving your tone the sonic density that those amps are famous for

It also has a very nice, fairly clean boost, if you turn the gain all the way down and the level, up

A nice pedal to accentuate any guitarist's "colors" and very affordable, this piece can alter "colors" well and also work as a clean boost

Bottom line- if you like clean boost through fairly distorted sounds while retaining the character of your guitar then buy one of these before they become even more popular

Gives nice sustain to both clean and dirty notes and when you bump up the volume knob on the pedal, you can use it as a clean boost

It can't be used as a clean boost.

I am essentially using it as a clean boost, and I get a bigger and more compressed version of my amp's natural tone, which is just what I wanted.

It can act as a clean boost for an already overdrive amp or you can turn up the gain and it gets very gritty.

so if you want a clean boost buy another pedal

I can get enough squash for a country solo and a nice pre boost for an overdrive pedal, and it's great for a smooth fattening up of a neck

My setup is a very simple one...starting with a Stratocaster to compressor, wah-wah, super-overdrive, boost pedal, delay, then straight into the front end of a tube amp with reverb & vibrato

Works great as a clean boost or as straight up overdrive

Works great as a clean boost or as straight up overdrive

Bottom line, this pedal may be right for you if your looking for:- a subtle "always on" compression to add a touch of thickness and sustain- a decent "squash" that also squashes your picking- a clean boost for leads (works great for this)That construction of the pedal is solid and the included patch cables are good.

Seriously, pull your compressor, put this first in the chain then dial it back til its just pure signal boost.

It has a dirty boost that I didn't want

Gives single coils a nice boost and humbuckers sound good as well.

I am using it primarily as a dirty boost, as I am primarily an overdrive guy

Really works as a clean boost with the drive low

With the drive all the way down you have a transparent clean boost

I mainly use a Boss SD-1 into the British Sound and it gives a nice boost to the JBS.

Not a strong sounding phase- a and b with behrenger vintage phase, I much prefer sound of behringer, but hate huge size on pedalboard.

It's not "built like a tank", but no flimsy plastic crap like the brand that starts with a B, which fishes in the same pond, price-wise

Most "Marshall-in-a-box" stomps, imo, sound much tamer than a real Marshall, and they give you a "prettied-up", safer version of that sound, in order to appease the 15-year-old Children Of Boredom/Cannibal Corpse lame-o neo-hippies the scene is now infested with

At this extremely affordable price it's hard to pass by such a great petal billed as an OCD clone this pedal does not sound quite as good as the Fulltone petal but is extremely usable and excellent sounding t in my opinion
