Today, we’re doing a blind shootout of three high-quality programmable overdrive pedals. Because programmable overdrives offer a seemingly limitless amount of tones to the user, we are using three classic overdrive pedals as the control factor for this shootout, seeing which programmable overdrive recreates the overdrive sounds we know and love with the most accuracy.
In order to find out which programmable is king, we’re tallying up YOUR opinions on which pedal sounded the best in this blind shootout: Pedal #1, Pedal #2, or Pedal #3.
