What a little gem but what did you think of it sounds like a blues breaker? blah blah blah
I do like overdrive pedals especially amber breakup or blues OverDrive's
can't beat that edge of breakup sound, in this video I'll be checking out the
Tom'sline Aroma ABS-1 blues overdrive catchy name... $27 on Amazon ordered on a
non urgent delivery of course and spoiler alert it's really good and look
at it it's so pretty...
Three controls nice and simple, gain which adds more overdrive to the signal,
tone which changes the brightness of the signal and level... I forget what that does
it's listed as a tube distortion simulation and has a FET transistor
inside and as always true bypass gives you a clean tone a nice little kick
Could be compared to a blues break though what do you think?
I've got a few overdrive pedals now and this has a nice amp breakup tone not
high-end fizzy not to mid boosted because the problem with some cheaper
overdrive pedals is that they can get fizzy at the top end and that's a good enough
reason to spend a little bit more cash this one however is okay in fact it's
really good it isn't going to give you that full saturated Distortion
but that's not what it was designed to do I don't lose a lot of bass
frequencies when it's engaged but similarly there's no mid boost
unlike the Klon or ODR-1 if that works for you the construction of the pedal is
excellent knobs feel good and solid to turn and it has a 9-volt battery
compartment on the back
There's a whole range of pedals from Tom'sline this one drew me in because
of the looks and it had a few good reviews online did I mention I like
overdrive pedals I did well ok then least you were paying attention
After comparing it to my Nobels ODR-1 it's a different kind of overdrive I
mean the nobles is the nobles it does its job amazingly well as a natural
overdrive this ABS-1 pedal has a different kind of sound a little harsher
but really not that much harsher and less smooth I would say but a great $27
Blues overdriving nevertheless just with a different kind of character
I'm actually pleasantly surprised what a little gem but what did you think of it
does it sound like a blues breaker I haven't tried one so I don't go but on
its own merits I'm happy with it I like the tone of it and I like the way it
interacts with my Fender hot rod I'll leave a link below if you want to check
