"Tons of tone options"
Verified Customer

Every available tubescreamer mod on the market and then some. From thin tin sounds to full on fuzz overdrive. Amazing tones when pushed through a clean setting. Beefs up an already overdriven amp flawlessly.

"Chunky! "

I have the Orange solid state and on a clean channel this thing gets beefy. I mean BEEFY. On the drive channel it definitely gives it soaring screams but I feel it's very noisy if you throw all the gain up. You need to play with the knobs to get a silent but deadly tone. I just got it two days ago but I'm still figuring out a lot more about it. I love it though. I recommend getting it if you love that tone quest.
Sound
From rock, to metal, to chunky and saturated djent. This pedal can do just about everything you need out of an overdrive pedal. Can even be used as a distortion pedal on its own.
Features
I've used this pedal with delay, reverb, and a chorus, I'd say the tone is really transparent and you can hear every note very clearly.
Ease of Use
With multiple knobs and switches it looks intimidating but the palisades overdrive is as easy to use as a simple TS808. There's so many options and sounds to choose from you'll be playing with this pedals for days and still have more to figure out
Quality
The product is great. Looks good, Sounds amazing. And built like a tank.
Value
This pedal is pricey. But when you own one you'll understand why. It's like having 4 overdrives in one!

"Great distortion pedal."

This pedal can literally change the sound of anything. I prefer fender tube amps but find myself playing out of a vox ac15. The vox has a normal and a top boost. I've done mods etc and still it's so weird. The amp has the ability to sound good but how do you set it up for real gigging? Do I aby the normal and top channel? What becomes what? Too much crap! I was using my top boost for more eqing when finally I decided to bring out the palisades and run it into the normal side. So now I get a normal clean tone but with the eqrdv pedal, I engage channel a all set to 1 bright and sag off little gain and it's a great clear clean tone. I move the boost up enough and that's my choice for when I wanna come in on my cleans stronger. Okay so from there I can even turn the right side dial to ten for something completely different or go to gain stage b. There's just so many options for going grittier if need be and with this pedal it can be succesive. Not too mention great sustain and other sounds for other players within the other parameters. It's like if you can't find something you like with this you aren't trying. Tomorrow my american tele and catalinbread talisman will arrive! The legend continues.
Sound
Great sound. Period. It may be 18v for more headroom actually so that's something to look into.
Features
It's all useful. There's complete control except maybe on éq ing. Just one tone knob. Still good though. It's not a preamp.
Ease of Use
Takes time but just try to understand if you are new to diode clipping etc.
Quality
Handmade in Akron Ohio.
Value
How many pedal will you buy lol? Just to get a good distortion or gain. This is most of them in one. Just need to dial.it in.
Manufacturer Support
I don't think these guys have issues.
The Wow Factor
Playing multiple genre I could only see more applications for this. I am playing one gig a week and I'm miced so u don't let loose. Use in another style or heavier band I'm sure I w I uld be able to dual something else in for that sound.
