Hardwire Tube Overdrive and Valve Distortion

This is a little demo on the new Hardwire Tube Overdrive and Valve Distortion pedals. I tried to demo the most important features but this is not all you get out of those boutique pedals.
I was sitting right in front of my amp and played pretty loud so the hum you evtl hear comes from the amp and the pickups in my old Les Pauls (you notice that the Goldtop has P90 Single Coils and they are a little sensitive when played 25cm away from an amp).
I hope you get an idea what the pedals are all about - let me know what you think

I already have the SC2, does the tube overdrive work well as a boost for that ? (to solo in a heavy song, whilst using the SC2?)

@llamaluva888 I think one of the best features on the Tube Overdrive is that you can use it as a boost...I do this all the time. If I want a compressor effect at the same time I just add distortion respectively gain

can i do hard rock with p90's? i have a noise reducer so noise isnt a problem

[ralfjung]

@daveymurrayrules I do all the time....dont even have to use a noise reduction. I just dont stand very close to my amp. I love P90s they are the best between HB and SC yet with enough output to be able to rock

Great demo video ralf, which one do you prefer for more bluesy work, I'm loving both models for different reasons, I'm torn! Thanks,

Carlos.

@Arcenicum thanks im deciding either to get teh tom delonge ES 333 epiphone or this one tehy both cost the same and i like both equally

[Arcenicum]

@awesomebeto75 I guess for punk you would want a more muddy sound, while these pedals have a lot of clarity. Go to a guitar center near you and just test and compare.

[awesomebeto75]

is this good for punk rock

@Marathonmarch A second Overdrive is never a bad idea it is almost like adding a second channel to an amp. This plus the fact that you can use the HW pedal to be an overdrive or a booster (turn down the overdrive and crank the level)
