    Default Artec Pedals

    I bought a Washburn Soloist Distortion pedal from a guy over at the BYOC forum. The Washburn is a rebranded version of the Artec Soloist Distortion. I got it for $20 shipped. I was pleasantly surprised, it sounds great. I was figuring on pretty marginal sound for $20, but I was really knocked out.



    Their website:

    This ebay seller sells them.

    Check out the sound samples, I like what I hear. :

    Those look like excellent values, if they sound half as good as the demo clips. Then again, I've noticed that I never seem to be able to make ANYTHING sounds as good as the demo clips. I must be buying defective equipment. Yeah, that's the ticket....

    It was a long time ago, but it the pedal had a grey housing (plastic), a blue plastic pedal and it simply said "OVERDRIVE" in capital letters. No brand or anything. I couldn't have paid more than $10 or $15 for it.

    Sounded awesome with my Lotus pointy headstock guitar and Sears amph. This was back in the late 80s.

    I've just started using an Ibanez Soundtank 60s Fuzz for leads. Great tone and NZ$30 from trademe.co.nz. Now, if I can just get the switch to work first time, every time...

    If that uses the standard switch then it is easy to replace and cheap. I had to do it to my TS9 and it was very simple to do. Before you do though try a shot of Deoxit or similar contact cleaner.
