Gain Changer on the Way!

Postby TeleRod » Thu May 14, 2015 1:29 pm

1st Post, hi everyone! After seeing so many positive comments around the net I finally took the plunge and ordered a Gain Changer. Should get it within a few days. I'm very excited to try it for myself. I play a Telecaster into a Vox AC-15 and I use a board with ten pedals on it. Sure hope my GC arrives before the weekend. I'll come back and report my first impressions when I get a chance to try it with the band. Have a great day. Rod.

Gain Changer just arrived today! Haven't got to play with it yet since I'm still at work. :( Closing time is just minutes away though! :D

Used my new GC for the first time Saturday night. I'm playing a Tele into a Vox AC-15 and the amp is set clean. I absolutely love this pedal! After a few minutes I found a glorious creamy tone with the Gain and Tone both at noon, both switches to the right and the Volume at about 1 o'clock. It sounded so good there I didn't change it any more the rest of the night. Every note rings out clearly in an almost compressor-like fashion. The highs are bright without being shrill and the Tele's low strings have that wonderful growl to them. I like the way it interacts with my Reverb pedal too. It seems like a lot of overdrives lose something whenever I switch the reverb on, but not the Gain Changer. It sounds the same whether it's wet or dry, terrific! This is hands-down the best overdrive I've owned, and I have had some very well known names on my board. Well done, Mr Barber! :D
