    Default Cool Cat Transparent Overdrive video

    Made this one up yesterday. Man, I love that single coil grit you get with a pedal like this! :

    Nothing really to do with the video, but the embedded Google ads crack me up, especially the one I've seen on a lot of your videos that just says "Suck at Guitar?"

    I know I suck already... thanks Google for hammering it in!

    What about the tone on the video? Anything that tickles your fancy, Rev Rawk?

    Dont mind the ads Robert, I got the Guitar Hero 5 ad

    Its a great sound and as usual perfect image and audio quality.
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Your playing, the tone, and the pedal are certainly fine examples of an overdriven single-coil sound. I have no issues with it.

    The issue is with me. As I get older, I find myself feeling that the single coil sound is less and less appealing. I think I can blame Joe Bonamassa for it. When he switched to Les Pauls, I was skeptical. But now I even find it hard to listen to some of his earliest albums because the Strat tone sounds so thin in comparison. That doesn't mean that I can't enjoy the many and varied Strat players I admire. I never thought I'd come to that point since I'm such a big SRV fan, although his tone tends to be fatter than typical.

    So basically, when I listen to your clips I tend to like the clean tones better than those with any grit. Once any decent amount of grit gets introduced, I find myself wishing for a humbucker. But again that is not casting aspersions on your playing or equipment. It's just my tastes, nothing more.

    I'd like a CD of this music to unwind to after work.

    Sounds fantastic, as usual, Robert. Pretty nice little pedal. Almost sounds like dirt getting in the pull gain.

    Guitars: Lots.
    Amphs: More than last year.
    Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.
