Good pedal, similar to the soul food by EH.

For the price, really nice sounding. To offer a challenge to online discussions, these don’t feel like rebranded Donner pedals, maybe inside is similar, but outside is more compact & sturdier. For the record, love the bar theme. Cheers 🍻

I bought this to use as a mild gain stage between a clean Fender Twin and a high-gain TC Fangs, the latter of which does the over-gunned brown-sound thing really well. I would decribe the Amber as a dark and fizzy overdrive, the audio equivalent of cola - in a good way though, it's warm, responsive and easy to play. It also stacks well with other higher gain pedals. The hammered setting seems to offer lower gain and much more volume, like an op-amp running flat out with no diode clipping. The Half-cut setting brings natural, warm, functional rhythm gain, like an asymetric LED drive, and is ideal for my needs. It's great value and takes up no space. The build quality is not as good as some premium pedals, as the 9v barrel connection seems a little sensitive to the pedal being placed on the level; I wouldn't take it on tour, but otherwise it's fine. I will add some Youtube play-tests shortly (David Lee Ortega).

My only issue sound wise was in the tone control, that parameters appeared too narrow for brighter tone controls

Sounds really nice. I like the smaller size as it's easier for transport and it came in a very nice box.

Very cool edge of breakup tube tone in "hammered" position. Has lots of bass, low end girth, sounds great. Adds some beef to a bridge pickup. When gain knob is turned down it cleans up excellent...it almost gets to the point it sounds just like the bypassed direct signal and not coloring the tone, unlike the T.C. Durple which I also purchased. Toggle switch in "hammered" position best for single coils, "half-cut" for humbuckers. Only criticism: Interestingly, the tone knob changes dramatically depending on the toggle switch position....when in "hammered" you have to dial to at least 4 o'clock to keep from sounding dark and muffled. In "half-cut" the tone control reacts the opposite, it is overly bright and harsh unless you dial all the way back to at least 8 o'clock....basically mirror image of other toggle position. For the price especially, an unbelievable value. Don't think, just buy it, this pedal rocks.

Sounds good for such a small and cheap pedal, although I think the switch my be wired wrong on mine as there is more drive on the half cut mode than the hammered. Would have given 5 stars otherwise

This pedal sounds good but in hammered mode it gets a little bit of fuzz sound with my Peavey 6505 head.

Before this pedal I was just using my amp distortion. Adding the pedal made things way way better, and it didn't bring any background noises or silly stuff like that. So if you're looking for a decent crunchy overdrive sound and have little money, this is a great choice.

Honestly speaking, if the pedal isn't a budget buy and the products performance come out in a proper manner, i would just give a 2 star. The reason u can check from below photo, this is the pic i took right after i open the package and remove those protection paper.
Notice one of the pedal even drop out from the box? I appreciate u guys check all the items before sending it out, however this kind of sloppy package make me sick, just looks like u drop all 5 pedals in a big box and go home.
