Suitable for an edgy break-up -something which is often tricky to get from pedlas. Bluesy lead sounds at higher levels. Also stacks well in front of a higher gain overdrive pedal.

Very impressed with the Sweet Cream. It feels high quality construction right out of the box. Nicely presented too. I bought it to add just a hair of grit to my Fender Princeton 68 reissue, which it does very well, without colouring the tone of the amp. Turning the gain up, it's great for BIG expansive sparkly chords with rich warmth. It's also great for warm atmospheric Slide and Gilmour-esque lead lines. I think it excels when used in conjunction with tape delay & reverb, as it gives really useable gain, without muddying the sound. To concur with the reviews I've read/listened to, it is extremely responsive to your picking dynamics and how hard you dig in. And all this is before I click on my EP Booster... using the two pedals together (EP Booster first) gives an insanely punchy, powerful sound. Put it this way, I've never heard my EP Booster sound so good!
Very happy with the Sweet Cream. Fantastic value too!

Good warm low gain overdrive pedal. I use it with the gain at 0 to add some upper-mid warmth to my tone, or with the gain up for an overdrive boost.

It's alright and it works. The stomp button leaves a bit to be desired. It kind of snaps just before it goes down all the way and the pedal turns on/off. I'm not sure if it's a defect or it's supposed to work that way. In comparison, the tc pedals I own are way smoother in that regard

Mr Chris Fejer

I use this for Blues, and can hardly understand how a pedal this good can be so cheap. Even with a semi-good amp and guitar, this still incfeases the quality of sound by a mile - absolutely worth it's price (maybe even more than that...). It is quite a soft overdrive though, so use only if you look for a subtle addition to your sound.

Kris
/ Mar 23rd 2016
Honestly i think this pedal is absolutely fantastic and would happily recommend it to people, I think it is a fantastic little box that i find helps deal with some of the problems with the little dsl5c i'm using which tries to make up for being a small low end valve amp with a small speaker by having either far too much bass from the amp of the speaker that makes it rather farty.
It really help smooth out the obnoxios bass and worked fantastically with the gain under one third of the way up and setting the output to be a little over unity volume so you are gaining a little gain from the pedal and pushing the amp just a little bit more in the front end giving a much more musical and pleasing tone and honestly makes using the classic gain channel on the dsl5c much nicer to use in those more gentle break up tones.
The touch control is also a nice addition as it lets the pedal make a great job of either being very touch sensitive and expressive or allowing you to have a less dynamic and more forgiving set up that although not too fantastic all the way up is definitely useful up to 3 quarters of the way up although tastes may vary.
Only criticism is there is a little bit of noise but i cant rule out where the pedal is being used as there are multiple internet routers and wireless phone handsets so that could be personal experience and not a general problem with the pedal but i feel like if you are not paying for a power supply for this alone it is definitely something i can overlook for how much i like the tone even if it is a problem with the circuit because it is incredibly minimal at the gain and volume i am using from the pedal and i hope the little thing survives me having a go at mapping the pcb out so i can have a shot at making a copy of it with higher quality components because i honestly love the little thing

Great low overdrive pedal ideal to thicken up your sound for blues or classic rock. Sounds fantastic over an already dirty channel or another pedal. If you like to hide behind lots of gain then this isn't the pedal for you but for everyone else it is excellent

I was after a transparent, dynamic overdrive I could set up for some low gain bluesy stuff.
I usually go for high end pedals but I think tone city are really on to something here. Great wallet friendly pedals with very little compromise!
The build quality is very good, true bypass, low noise and perhaps more importantly....the tone.
It's sweet, dynamic and responsive and with a nice tube amp produces some brilliant tones. It's definitely a pedal for blues or low gain stuff. Not a tonne of gain available.
The EQ sweeps very well making it suitable for a load of different set ups. Lots of volume on tap too.
I plan to try out the bad horse next I'm very pleased with this.

This is an interesting circuit and works like a lower output Tube screamer.
Works very well with my tube amp, not so great with my old solid state.
I would recommend trying one with your amp first.
