Manufacturer's Description for Hao RD1 Rust Driver Overdrive Pedal

The Rust Driver was designed to recreate the classic sound of a late 60's Marshall Plexi running at full bore grind. Its carefully selected components allow the Rust Driver to faithfully perform this function with any amplifier, at any volume level. The result is a commanding guitar tone with a tight, thick bottom and extremely low signal-to-noise ratio. A single knob controls output level and gain while 3 switchable EQ curves offer plentiful tonal options without compromising your guitar sound. When you need that 'Plexi Sound' regardless of the playing situation, the Rust Driver is an affordable, reliable, portable alternative to the real thing.

About Hao
Over the past few years Hao effects have become the pedal of choice for many of Japan's most respected guitarists. The reasons for this are simple -- unparalleled sound quality coupled with simple yet bullet-proof design features that allow the user to focus on creating music rather than tweaking knobs. Painstakingly built by hand, each Hao unit is a cosmetic and functional work of art that features the highest quality components and construction techniques available in order to assure maximum performance. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Hao products.

"ASTONISHING!!"

Sound: Real Plexi sound! I test it trough a real bad amp and still sounding grat! Feature: I give it a 9 because is hard to remove the battery plate... but who needs more features in that thing? Is enough with the volume pot! Quality: MXR box design, little and good. Value: I pay 95 bucks for it, worthy of each penny... Manufacturer Support: I don't need it yet! The Wow Factor: I have it! Overall: Amazing Hendrix, Trower tone. Even at low volumes, you have what you need. I was looking for a smooth tube tone with sustain and finally I have it! I couldn't imagine that thing inside a good clean amp like Vox AC-30 or a Fender Deluxe.....

Sound: This is an amazing little pedal Very close to a marshall on 10 but at any volume tons of head room I run this out of a hotrod deluxe with the pedal set at about 2 o clock and it screams cleans up with guitar volume nicly too You need to run your amp a little darker than usual as the only stting that I beleieve works is the normal one the warm is too bass heavy and the bright is just ice pick Feature: I love this pedal but if it had a tone control or eq it would be even better Ease of Use: plug it in and rock thats all there is to it after you get your amp dialed in Quality: hao stuff is built like a tank I am on the road alot and no problems Value: yes expensive but woth it Manufacturer Support: no no dealings with hao The Wow Factor: it looks cool but I do have a need to see other pedals right now Overall: i put a 9 ecause I am a pedal junkie so I may get something similiar later but I can't see taking this out of my chain any time soon

Style of Music: just about anything
