Just thought give a little review of a pedal I bought. I picked this up the other day, and have been playing it non stop since then. HAO effects are distributed by the same people that distribute Maxon pedals. Anyway this pedal is rather strange. It has a level knob, and a 3 way switch for Normal, Bright, and warm settings, and that is it. It is supposed to give you an overdriven plexi sound. That is it's thing. I have ran it through a 1962 bluesbreaker, jcm 2000 dsl, fender twin. All of the amps were set to a clean sound. When the pedal was engaged, you got a older marshally sound. Every amp had a different tone, but al were very usable. I am a tone/sound freak, so i really dug the different tones. Right now I am having a ball using teh rust driver, a tele, one of the sd-1 pedals that stratdeluxer modded all into a twin. LOVE the tone. It's my Billy Gibbons box right now. I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity, to try out the HAO effects. they are pretty cool. They are kind of a niche type pedal, but I find them to be pretty cool.
