Some distortion pedals as you know or may not know or you may know well you
may not know I'll give up... I'm Derek Paul if you new here thanks for joining
I've had some great feedback which I really appreciate
suggesting I do longer reviews so I'll start in this video sometimes you just
have to take a risk ordered on a non urgent delivery
I bought the cheapest pedal on Amazon as it turns out the cheapest pedal on
Amazon is a distortion pedal and also an overdrive if you dial it back did I
mention I don't have many distortion pedals I did if you've seen one of my
other videos nice so in this video just take a look
at the Mugig hot-chili distortion pedal $17 on Amazon and a lovely red color
look at it ...ok so we've looked at it, let's listen to it
some distortion pedals as you know especially a lower pricepoint can sound
a bit busy I've experienced this before it's not very nice tone with how are you
do anything go ahead Thanks okay so yeah any distortion or overdrive you want it
to sound smooth and natural or the smooth and natural as possible like amp
breaking up or saturating and this one there's a surprisingly good job
three controls on a switch the switch changes it from bright to normal and
there is a big difference here switching to normal really does darken
it the volume increases the sound level and this thing has a lot of volume if I
had to turn it down to two to get unity gain the tone increases or decreases the
brightness so along with the switch you can really get the tone you're after
some really nice tonal options there and the gain increases the saturation
however at full gain this thing does get a little bit noisy see you might be the
noise gate or be handy with the volume control on the guitar but I guess it's a
distortion pedal so it's to be expected
heard of Mugig but I've never tried their pedals so for sixteen dollars or 12 quid
this is really usable a bit of a surprise it has a nice mid hump not a
lot of low end cut so this could be what you're looking for in a distortion pedal
if that type of things for you it's advertised as a British stack sound and
a recreation about 70s and 80s classic sound also has true bypass normally
these types of pedals come in a generic box but this one actually came in a
Mugig branded box a little card thanking me for our purchase thanks Mugig a set
of instructions and the velcro needed to attach it to the pedal board it's
thoughtful little things like that that make a bit of a difference
I actually quite like the design makes it change from mini pedals to have
something more substantial their knobs feel really good to turn and have just
the right amount of resistance to them it's a really nice distortion pedal
I'm just getting them to the distorted sound as I've been living in places for
years where I can't have the amp really loud to get that saturated sound so I've
had to dial it back a lot distortion though is a lot of fun to play you can
get stuck in and get some really good rock tones going
so do you like it great little pedal especially for that price the
practically giving it away, thanks for watching
