Great value pedal.
K. 11.11.2020
It can be used as an amp sim or just in your pedal chain before your your amp and it gives a great tone option, especially good for giving increased treble prescence and brightening a muddy humbucker. I have an old school bluesbreaker upstream and together they sound great. However, not true bypass and, when off, gives unwanted noise. You can leave it on all the time and quickly dial in fairly neutral settings. I also use it direct into my usb audio interface for my DAW and it works well. There are about 4 of these pedals simulating various well known amps. For the money it is unbelievable.

Joyous
Anonymous 12.04.2023
Yes it's pretty much the same as a certain Chinese pedal from the online marketplaces, without the metallic finish but at 2/3 the price. Sounds better than any actual amp I own, but admittedly a deluxe reverb isn't one of them. Leave your amp at home, promise the other band's guitarist you won't touch their settings, stick this in the effects loop and you're good to go.

Für das Geld kann man nicht meckern.
el_murdoque 25.11.2024
Das American Sound ist sehr stark "Inspiriert" vom Tech21 Sansamp Blonde. Das kann man hören. Die Verarbeitung und Ausstattung ist eher unteres Mittelmaß, aber bei dem Preis ist das natürlich zu erwarten. Der Sound ist auf keinen Fall €29,99,-.
Beim Sansamp Blonde bedient der Mittenregler die 1kHz Region, der American Sound liegt hier eher im Bereich 400-500Hz, das lässt ein paar interessante Interaktionen mit dem Character-Regler zu.

Insgesamt: Keine dreißig Euro für ein Pedal was funktioniert und Nebengeräuscharm arbeitet - da kann man nix sagen!

Impressive tonal sculpting for the price
ZeTRukes 16.02.2026
This is a surprisingly versatile pedal. It offers a great price-to-performance ratio and serves as a powerful tool for sculpting your drive character.
What impressed me most is the range of the gain stages. You can easily go from a subtle, warm overdrive that just adds a bit of "hair" to your tone, all the way to a heavy, aggressive distortion. It’s a very capable "character" pedal.
However, a word of caution for those who like to tweak: the control knobs are extremely sensitive. Even a one-millimeter adjustment can significantly alter the sonic result. This requires a bit of patience and a fine touch to find your "sweet spot," but once you find it, the tone is solid and reliable.
It delivers a lot of tonal options for a very small investment. Great as a secondary drive or a versatile budget-friendly preamp.

Allsidig og god "Fender"-pedal
bonsaibeard 18.04.2023
Perfekt pedal om du liker "Fender"-lyd. Her har du det meste i fender-spekteret og med gode justeringsmuligheter med 3 bånds EQ. Fin kopi av Tech 21 sin Blonde. Blonde låter litt mer åpent og en tanke bedre, men med tanke på prisforskjellen, så er det marginalt.

Amazing boost pedal
TMPHY 28.01.2024
Originally, this was my #1 overdrive pedal before it got replaced, but ever since I've been using it as a gain/booster pedal, and it's amazing. With the right power supply (don't use a cheap one), it gives a really clean tone and really specific gain levels.

Everybody seems to love it.
Tymon the Harp 31.01.2025
Quite well built, and works as advertised. But.. no way to disable cab sim, why? And, gets quite noisy at Drive past eleven.
