DonnerOverdrive Guitar Pedal, Blues Drive Vintage Overdrive Effect Warm/Hot Modes for Pedal Boards Electric Guitar, True Bypass

This pedal seems to be built well and who could argue that the price isn't right?! I really like this pedal and of the sub $50 pedals available this seems to have the most options. I've learned from experience that you should never buy a guitar pedal that doesn't have an effects volume knob. This one does, it's called "Mix". Mix simply brings the volume of the effect louder or quieter. The different options for type of delay including a modulation and a reverse delay are also pretty cool. Overall, it sounds good, it does what it's supposed to do, and it plays well with my multipedal power source and other pedals in my chain. There might be better pedals for more money, but this one seems to be the best with the most options under $50. And for an effect I use rather lightly/quietly, just for a touch of wetness in my guitar sound, it's not worth spending any more than just buying this pedal. But, without it I feel lost. Reverb and Delay are an absolute must for me. This pedal gets it done for my ears. I noticed right away that I enjoyed playing more with this pedal on than without it. I know the yellow delay gets a lot of praise, but this one has more options, I say buy this one.

I've found my perfect match with this guitar pedal, and I couldn't be happier. As a guitarist who primarily uses a Godin A6 Ultra Hybrid Acoustic Guitar with a humbucker pickup, I've been on the hunt for a pedal that would seamlessly enhance my sound without taking up too much precious space on my pedal board. This pedal not only fits the bill but also exceeded my expectations.My main goal was to find a pedal that could provide that sweet crunch when I blend in my humbucker with the piezo pickup for lead guitar moments. This pedal has proven to be the ideal solution. Its subtle yet effective impact on my tone is just what I was looking for.I've been using the warm setting predominantly, and I must say that the pedal's crunch isn't overpowering. It adds a layer of depth and character to my sound, enhancing my humbucker's output without overshadowing the uniqueness of the piezo pickup. It's like the pedal was tailor-made for my setup.One of the aspects that truly stood out to me is the pedal's ability to maintain the balance between the different pickups. It's a delicate dance, and this pedal has nailed it. The warm setting, in particular, has become my go-to choice, providing the perfect level of grit without compromising the overall harmony of my sound.Overall, I'm thoroughly pleased with this pedal's performance so far. It has enhanced my playing experience and brought a new dimension to my music. If you're like me, searching for a pedal that complements your hybrid acoustic guitar setup without overwhelming it, I highly recommend giving this pedal a try. It has certainly earned its place on my pedal board and in my heart.Pros:Ideal for blending humbucker and piezo pickupsSubtle crunch without overpoweringMaintains balance and harmonyCompact size perfect for pedal boardsCons:None encountered in my experienceIn summary, this pedal has filled a void in my setup that I didn't even know existed. It's a versatile, compact, and harmonious addition that has elevated my sound to new heights.

I have a Marshall DSL40C tube combo which is very loud even with the volume on one; this makes it difficult to play in the house without disturbing others. I have always wanted a real attenuator however they are very expensive and can damage an amp if you aren't careful. I saw this little donner pedal that is a whole lot cheaper than the JHS pedal that does the same thing. I had to try it out. First of all, I call this a pseudo attenuator because it is really just a master volume control for your preamp. It goes in the effects loop so you can crank the preamp tubes and use this as a volume control before it hits the power stage of your amp.It does work well for what it does. I can now get a whole lot of saturation and compression by cranking the preamp, using this pedal as a master volume and get great tones at low volume. It does what it says. It also has a small footprint so it's easier to find a spot on your pedal board. For the price you can't go wrong, it's really solidly built.

The media could not be loaded. This is a very worthy pedal. Wow, I am blown away at the sound of this little thing. I have to say this is one of the best distortion pedals I have ever owned! The Donner OD extreme is small and packs a big punch. I was very surprised how quiet the pedal is when switched to OD “no clicking sound” I need that!! Another great thing about this pedal is, it’s so small, and built really well. I put it through the stomp test and it comes out a winner. I bet this pedal will be reliable for many years to come. I have to say that Donner is an awesome company, they are responsive, and answer any questions you have regarding all their great products. Everything they sell is very fair priced and exceeds all expectations. Great packaging, the box it comes in is very good for keeping it new looking when it’s not in use.I personally like the tube sound that comes from this pedal. It’s made in China. Doesn’t take a 9volt battery, “power only”. Mine works flawlessly. I play blues and it sounds so good through my solid state amps as well as my tube amps, no issues at all.I recommend you add this pedal to your collection, you won’t regret it.Donner keeps making great pedals and I’m happy to see new products making it to the scene. It’s so small you could put it in your pocket to bring to practice or the gig. Great way to have an extra pedal in the gig bag, just in case you forgot your pedal board. So many good reasons to buy this pedal. The price is so low and the quality is very high. I’m sure this will become a very popular pedal in the very near future and be around for a long time. I really do like this pedal a lot and it has now replaced my old OD pedal ok my main pedal board. Get one ASAP! Great for blues, rock and even metal.Simple to use and easy to dial in the sound you like. Peace, love and music.
