Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive video

[Robert]

Made this one up yesterday. Man, I love that single coil grit you get with a pedal like this! :master:

Nothing really to do with the video, but the embedded Google ads crack me up, especially the one I've seen on a lot of your videos that just says "Suck at Guitar?"

 

[Robert]

I know I suck already... thanks Google for hammering it in!

What about the tone on the video? Anything that tickles your fancy, Rev Rawk?

 

[SuperSwede]

Dont mind the ads Robert, I got the Guitar Hero 5 ad

Its a great sound and as usual perfect image and audio quality.

Your playing, the tone, and the pedal are certainly fine examples of an overdriven single-coil sound. I have no issues with it.

The issue is with me. As I get older, I find myself feeling that the single coil sound is less and less appealing. I think I can blame Joe Bonamassa for it. When he switched to Les Pauls, I was skeptical. But now I even find it hard to listen to some of his earliest albums because the Strat tone sounds so thin in comparison. That doesn't mean that I can't enjoy the many and varied Strat players I admire. I never thought I'd come to that point since I'm such a big SRV fan, although his tone tends to be fatter than typical.

So basically, when I listen to your clips I tend to like the clean tones better than those with any grit. Once any decent amount of grit gets introduced, I find myself wishing for a humbucker. But again that is not casting aspersions on your playing or equipment. It's just my tastes, nothing more.

By gosh, you've done it again, boss! Sweet Sonic Saturation Sure to Satisfy the most Salient of Six String Single-coil Slingers! (<<<< Sorry, had an attack of alliteration...it's now Satisfied ) :AOK:

I'd like a CD of this music to unwind to after work.

Sounds fantastic, as usual, Robert. Pretty nice little pedal. Almost sounds like dirt getting in the pull gain.
