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!
