It's a great pedal, but a bit noisy, IMO. -
Re: Anyone familiar with a Route 66 American Overdrive?
Yeah, I use one. It is a great pedal. Youhave to be careful if you use the compressor and OD sides together as it can get noisy as mrid says. Otherwise it's got some really nice sounds.
There's a new version out, or out soon (I'm not sure which) that has some improvements in the OD section and a tone control defeat on the comp side. I'd love to get hold of one of those.Comment

Thanks guys! So ALF are you saying that it just has usable similar tones or something unique to add to the mix?'06 Gibson R8, '94 Gibson LP Jr Special, Fender CS Dirty Dozen Strat, Fender Hotrod '52 Tele, /13 FTR37, Kemper, DrZ EMS, DrZ Plus, Various pedalsComment

Re: Anyone familiar with a Route 66 American Overdrive?
Not quite sure what you mean, but it has some tones of its own, I believe. The bass boost switch on the OD side really helps in some situations. Being able to run the compressor and OD together yields some great sounds as well. Plus, I frequntly run the compressor alone with the Sustain way down and the gain hgih and it works as a nice clean boost.Comment

Re: Anyone familiar with a Route 66 American Overdrive?
I like the Route 66 a lot FWIW - the bass boost is cool. Have to echo the noise warnings about the compressor side of the pedal though - it seems real touchy in terms of its power supply.

Rev donzo uses one extensively. AS with all Visual Sounds pedals, you really need to use one of their One Spot power adapters to kill the noise.Comment
