Yeah it’s pretty awesome. I’m pleased with it. I recently switched to using a clean amp and driving it with pedals, so this is my first proper foray into dirt pedals. Previously I was using an Orange Tiny Terror which had great overdrive but no clean headroom. So I’m really experimenting on a budget.

So I got one of these today used for $75 which is pretty good. They’ve certainly come down in price. The box has the original tag on it of $165 and yesterday I tried one out new for $99, which I think is a more competitive price and the original price contributed to their being unpopular. Anyway, I like how the knobs are very interactive. It definitely rocks the slashed speaker and dying battery sound, but you can get more conventional low gain warm overdrives too. It’s very raw, garage rock sounding. I’ve put my Double Muff in front of it to just give it the extra gain that the pedal doesn’t have, but retain that raw ripped up character. All in all, I really like it. I wouldn’t recommend it as anyone’s only overdrive but coupled with another drive before it or a boost it cranks.

Hey, I got a Small Clone a few years ago supposedly brand new (it was from an online auction ect.) Anyway, I have always had the same problem. The light comes on but no change to the sound. What was the answer to the problem with yours? I would appreciate any knowledge. In my case, the guy who sold it to me didn’t reply to any of my complaints and I didn’t have the money to send it off for repairs and felt a bit burned that I had bought something that needed to be repaired already.
