Tech 21 OMG

Tried a bunch of distortion pedals before : boss ds-1, ds-2, ds-1 keeley modded. mt-2. carl martin plexitone, digitech, etc. This quite pricey compared to other alternatives, but nothing too much. In terms of performance here comes the "too much" thing. Infinite sustain, extra boost function that works great separately and cleans up nicely (although it is not very dynamic when cleaned up). Sounds like a hot rodded Marshall amp and works great with single coil guitars. The girth button comes really in handy when playing different amps. Although the sound is marketed as a modern take on a Marshal amp, in my ears it fits more in the 80s era since the sound gets a bit trebly at some settings (not in a bad way though). In my opinion, this pedal would be a perfect match for american style amplifiers. It may be a signature pedal but it is really versatile. Works also great before a speaker sim pedal. Thomann team provides excellent handling services as well.
