User Reviews of the Danelectro Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive CTO-1
Submitted by Spiro from london (58 points) on Mar 9, 2013
Clone of the Timmy Pedal by Paul Cochrane but cost new just £29 instead of £129 + 18 months waiting
Youtube has good demos A/B - but I like it whatever its cloned from...!
Good Points: This is a great pedal. Offers good tone albeit in a fairly narrow EQ band. But as is a TRANSPARENT OD, so you are not searching for tone - just levels of boost/edge or gain to your sound. It stays articulate when loud.
It loves BIG Fender AMPS and single coils/P90s
I use it with vintage and Boutique gear - I am no snob if it sounds good - use it!
Is robust and heavy diecast. Not too draining on Batteries either.
Bad Points: Fiddly switches and ultra ultra bright Sonic Blue LED!
