I believe I just found the best overdrive pedal I have ever owned I just did a gig last night and all I took was this pedal my les paul And the mighty Z-28 mK 11 and that shanks pedal made my les paul growl and purr like a big fat alley cat. Wow what a sound! I can’t wait to try it with one of my strats now. I have a gig today and I am going to try it with one of my strats. Now I will say it is a pricey pedal I was fortunate to get mine for a pretty good deal I traded another pedal in for it and got it at a decent price. But even if I did pay the full price it would have been well worth it. I just used the knobs on the pedal to go from clean boost to overdrive all night using my foot to move the knobs. It had such a natural organic amp like overdrive. Just a beautiful blooming tone. I have had many overdrive pedals but this one is the cream of the crop.

This is what sold me on it and honestly I had the same reaction once I plugged into it.

Never owned a Vemuram pedal but I'm real interested in hearing your thoughts once you use it with your Strat.

Never owned a Vemuram pedal but I'm real interested in hearing your thoughts once you use it with your Strat. Its pretty much made for Strats its made to really shine with single coils It sounds killer with the Strat as well. What really surprised me was how good it sounded with the Les Paul. Its def a dynamic pedal. If you like amp like dynamic pedals that feel natural and organic and just have such a pure tone you will love it. What's great about it is that the volume treble and gain stage work so well together to get different shades of tone. It does a killer clean boost and it also has a fat warm overdrive and if you need it to cut just turn up the treble. It sounds amazing through the Z-28 MK11 as you all know it loves pedals this one in particular sounds super good with it. There are plenty of videos on youtube about it. Tim Pierce is a big supporter of it. I heard about it from him a long time ago. But I slept on it then I watched the video with Dan and Mic and then they got me all messed up and I had to get one!

The ODR-1 is also a great choice plus it’s way more affordable. I looked into both pedals and I am very happy with the Shanks. The clean up on it is what really impressed me. I am a volume and tone control type of player I like to go from clean to scream when I play live so that was a huge factor for me. And even with the les paul it did that very well .
