AZOR High Gain Distortion Pedal for Electric Guitar - Analog Circuitry, Aluminum Housing, True Bypass, Compact for Stage/Studio Use

The pedal compresses guitar signals at a budget price. Very much worth what you pay - and then some.What's here: a big lighted compressor knob, EQ and Level controls, and a tiny enclosure built like a tank. What I find particularly useful is putting this compressor after EQ with boost, and before or after overdrive with boost. Since this compressor *also* has boost, you can shape your sound relative to both input and output levels at three contiguous stages in the pedal chain. Incredibly useful for varying timbres.What's not here: attack and sustain controls. Attack can be a bit much with heavy picking, but you learn quickly how to match your playing style to what the compressor can do.Feature-wise (and probably sound-wise), the pedal is like a bunch of other compressor pedals with similar features. In my case, it plays well with two AZOR overdrive pedals and a JOYO graphic EQ.The pedal board that it's on also has two inexpensive Behringer pedals (FX600 multi-effects and DR600 reverb) at the end. The board was built to prove that it's possible to combine the best of inexpensive pedals into a very functional, complete unit - and it is!I have more expensive effects pedals and pedal boards that are - yes - better in most respects. But the AZOR compressor filled out what is a great complement of inexpensive guitar pedals that are versatile and actually sound good. Kudos to AZOR for this pedal and the two previously purchased overdrive pedals, each of which is amazingly good for the $.Compression on single-coil clean Tele and Strat sounds with the AZOR compressor sounds great, is just what is needed.So if you haven't invested in simple compressor and EQ - plus optimally, a noise reduction pedal such as the Behringer NR300 - then just do it. EQ, compression, and noise reduction are the foundation of any electric or acoustic/electric guitar sound. And at these prices, there's no excuse not to.

I have to be honest, I did not expect this pedal to sound this good. I wanted an analog chorus pedal but I did not want to spend a lot as I already own a TC Corona Chorus and an HX stomp, which both have a variety of really good chorus sounds but are digital. I compared it to the Nux Analog Chorus and the Joyo Ironman Mini chorus and this pedal sounded much better (to me) than those. The pedal can get very lush sounding and has a lot of adjustability within the knobs. It is definitely voiced in the Boss CE-1/CE-2 realm. The only downside is that it can be a bit noisy in the higher mix settings and the pedal itself is a bit frumpy looking, but the casing and the knobs themselves feel very solid. The footswitch is a bit loud and I could tell the one in the Joyo pedal appeared to be better quality. However, for less than $25, this is a killer sounding chorus pedal.

As a stand alone pedal, the Azor Overdrive earns high marks considering it costs less than $25.It has the small form factor and built well. Made out of metal, this mini pedal has has weight on it.I wanted to get the Mini Tubescreamer but decided on a cheaper copy or clone. I like to use a TS typepedal to boost my tube amp, a dirty channel or another dirt pedal. I was looking at the Kokko Overdrivesince I know that it's a TS clone. However, the Azor has an extra "hot" setting that made it more versatilein about the same price point. After a day of testing, to my surprise, my untrained ears tells me that it isnot a tubescreamer clone. It might be based on one but does not behave like it. I have a Hardwire CM-2which I believe is a more versatile TS variant as a comparison pedal. To me, there are 3 things that TS orTS type pedals do. 1. It cuts off bass frequencies. 2. Adds or boosts certain mid frequencies. 3. Rolls offthe top end for smoother clipping. The Azor had more bass than the CM-2, less mid hump and morehigh end coming out even when the tone knob is at noon. I detect a little fizziness on the high end whichI don't care for. It has plenty of gain than your regular TS. In fact, it was closer to the Caline Orange Burst,a BB Preamp clone than the CM-2. What happened to the saying: "If it is green, it must be a tubescreamer!"The "hot" setting clearly is louder, a boost in volume. I can't tell if that setting has more gain. When the gainis fully dimed, both settings were so compressed anyway that it's hard to tell. I'm a little disappointed thatI can't use it as a boost pedal. Well, I can, but I don't get the desired results that I'm accustomed to.It works as a good stand alone overdrive on a clean amp and can be pushed by a boost pedal. It's not goingback because it is so inexpensive and sounds good too. So far, instead of using it with my tube amps, it sitsin my small pedalboard for my wet/dry rig consisting of Boss Katana (solid state) & Vox Cambridge Twin (hybrid).UPDATE: This pedal is similar to my Fultone OCD v. 1.4 on an A/B test. Although not an exact copy but it comesclose. I was surprised since I haven't found any info about this on the net. Even the toggle switch on the Azormimmicks that on the OCD. Apparently, Azor has a clone of the OCD called the Leon Drive, which has the exactnaming of the toggle switch, HP & LP. So now I'm not sure where this pedal was modeled after. Perhaps amodded Boss Blues Driver? If anyone has compared this pedal with another, please share your thoughts. Thanks.

I love the sound of this overdrive! it’s not too “gainy” and has such a nice tone that it was perfect for what i was looking for! It also has very good adjustability for the tone and level of overdrive for such a good price! 10/10 would buy from Azor again!

Now having Owned this Pedal for about a Year and a Half now. I'm Impressed on the Quality of it and how it adapts for what I need it to do. The amount of Reverb you will expect is about the size of a Small to Mid-size Venue if that helps gauge it (Without Amplification from Sound systems of Course). This isn't Top-of-the-line, but it is a Sturdy Work horse of a Pedal, and if you're hooking up to a $400-$600 Amp with, in my case, an Epiphone Les Paul. [NOTE* Having it in a Pedal board FX chain does not distort the Quality of it, and I'm using about 6 pedals total.] It can certainly accomplish those ballads, Alternative sounds, and Even Shoegazy Tonalities. Make it work for you and you'll see what it can accomplish with what it Provides, Every Musician is Different and with that Price you couldn't help but be Curious

I ordered this tremolo pedal to use with a tube amp I recently purchased, and didn’t want to spend too much on it, and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised how good this thing is. Decent sound, the adjustments and tone you get from this thing are just great, from subtle to fast and deep, this thing just does the job and does it well. I’m tempted to try out the delay and some of the other effects this company makes now seeing as they are super affordable, and seem very durable as well with their metal casing. Very pleased with this tremolo pedal and I recommend giving it a try.

Yo lo compre para tocar surf y cumple. Ya no tocó en escenarios, nadamas en mi casa y me funciona muy bien. Para eso esta perfecto, para algo mas enserio, hay mejores.

Vale la pena cada centavo ... buena construccion muy buen sonido y potencia viene con su manual y un velcro para pegarlo a tu pedalera si es que tienes lo recomiendo mucho

The media could not be loaded. El pedal llega en aparente buen estado, es metlaico, crei que era plastico, punto su favor, esas pesado de lo que parece por lo mismo. Llega con goma antideslizante o velcro para que le adieras como stiker cada uno.Problema, las ultimas dos bandas tienen falso contacto, de casualidad son las dos bandas que me interesaban, hay que presionar hasta abajo/atras del fader para que aplique el sonido, de lo contrario es como si no hubieras deslizado ningun fader, las demas bnadas funcionan bien y sin problemas.Mande mensaje al vendedor pero no hubo respuesta, no creo que sea problema de la marca o vendedor, lo mas probable es que me toco la mala suerte a mi, pero para que quede registrado el caso.Terminé por comprar otro eq de otra marca para evitar el riesgo de que fuera en verdad un problema de lote o modelo.

Bei der Vielzahl an Chorus-Pedalen muss man entscheiden, was man will oder braucht. Sucht jemand ein Pedal für abgefahrene Chorus-Sounds wird ihm dieses zu wenig sein. Wer aber ein all-on Pedal sucht um den Sound etwas breiter zu gestalten liegt hier sehr gut und günstig. Qualität des Produkte sehr guz.Alzor hat ein sehr breites Programm das noch nicht sehr bekannt ist.
