So this thing basicly makes a powerchord out of playing single notes?
damn playing guitar/bass gets more and more like playing guitar hero

TBH I don't like the fact the overdrive is always enabled on this pedal

When I first heard about this I was hoping the distortion would sound a bit more natural than the Unibass... But alas, no.

Interesting pedal ! The 60's and 70's power trio wouldv've sounded quite different with this. Don't have any use for it myself, but I can see how it can generate GAS !

RTFM (read the ****ing manual) ... ok, i did it for you. ;-)

Overdrive
Use this to control the amount of overdrive applied to the pitch shift effect. When set fully counter-clockwise, there is no overdrive. Turn the control clockwise to increase the amount of overdrive."

According to the YouTube videos the sound of the overdrive really sucks and sounds like plastic .... i also hate the overdrive in the AKAI Unibass ... just connect an external overdrive and done!

GAS!
