AZORVintage Overdrive Pedal - Wide Dynamic Range, True Bypass, and Precise Controls for Electric Guitar

I have purchased a lot of pedals as of late, all of which have been budget priced models. Trying to find the right sound is tough when you don't have thousands to spend on gear. Brands like AZOR really help the working musician out.AZOR pedals have a very solid build with a hard case, solid enamel coating and very tight knobs. The main foot control button feels very solid, but time will tell how it will hold up. Their pedal case design is a little different than most micro pedals with a rounded top. I like that they opted for a small case that was different than the same old rectangle, but this leads them to put the power plug on the side of the case and not the top. While this works fine for my pedal board it could be problematic in tighter configurations.As always the most important part is the sound and the AZOR Fuzz Grey edition is a pretty awesome pedal. I am attempting to build a very compact pedal board for gigging regularly, and while I LOVE my EHX Big Muff it takes up a lot of real estate on a pedal board so i was looking for something a little more compact. I was hoping that I could replace my Big Muff pedal with the AZOR Fuzz Grey. I was personally blown away by how well this pedal did. The AZOR Fuzz Grey edition was able to sonic-ally damn near match my Big Muff. While the pedal does lack the sustain functions of a Big Muff (or at least lacks a sustain knob), It does deliver that signature dirty low end grind that the Muff is known for.Ultimately the AZOR Fuzz Grey edition is a fantastic pedal for the price if you are looking for a Big Muff sound on a Little Muff Budget, or just want to replace your Big Muff  with 4 micro pedals on your board. I've played a lot of effects that cost almost 10 times as much, some worth it some not. For the build and sound quality I'd expect the pedal to cost 3 times what it's sold for. Honestly would buy again if I needed too. Am I going to sell my Muff? No, but i won't be giging with it.

If you love analog delays and want to save money, check this pedal out. Like most good analog pedals, the repeats are warm and stay behind your original signal in the mix. Some people here have complained that this pedal overwhelms your signal. I don't understand that. The mix knob gives you everything from no echo at all, to maybe a little above unity. You can dial in all sorts of subtle or noticeable effects. The delay time is pretty standard for an analog pedal - up to 600 MS. You can do everything from slapback to Pink Floyd type delays. There's one word of warning I'll provide, though - when I first plugged in the pedal and turned my amp on, I didn't notice that all the knobs were all the way up. The pedal started self-oscillating and I got blasted by a bizarre sci-fi noise. But with the repeat knob at a reasonable setting, this won't happen. This phenomenon can also be used to make spaceship sound effects, like engineers used to do in the 50's and 60's. I like this pedal so much, I'm buying another so I can switch between long and short echoes. At $20, it's a no-brainer.

I am attempting to build a very compact pedal board for gigging regularly, and while I already owned the rather affordable Danelectro Fab I've never been super happy with it due to its triggering button. It's hard to hit right and I was hoping that I could replace the Fab pedal with the AZOR. The good news is the AZOR sounds great. I found myself getting some great sounds out of this pedal. At lower depths it adds a nice subtle chrous effect without overwhelming the songs. At higher depths it you can kind of get some spacey underwater tones that I will do doubt be using in the near future. The bad news is that while it sounds fantastic it isn't quite as deep as the Fab. It's not that one is better than the other just different. So both will remain on my board for now.Ultimately the AZOR Chorus Green edition is a fantastic pedal for the price if you are looking for a nice old school analog chrous. I've played a lot of effects that cost almost 10 times as much, some worth it some not. For the build and sound quality I'd expect the pedal to cost 3 times what it's sold for. Honestly would buy again if I needed too.

Wow. $25 went this far? I had the simple idea that a clean boost with some tone controls could serve as a preamp in a chain of mini pedals designed for use in home recording/headphone jamming. So, I went for the cheapest I could find, and it also may be the best I could find for that purpose. It’s very pure and clean and it’s also very quiet - quieter than some digital FX I have. It’s so quiet I’m basically able to use it as a noise reduction tool by lowering the volume and treble on other pedals in the chain and simply boosting it with this - like a master volume control. I don’t gig, so I don’t know how it’s work as a true boost, but I can tell you that by itself the pedal can be quite loud, offering plenty of clean headroom. The build is very solid, with the unit feeling heavier than expected. The bass and tone controls do work well, too, offering some preamp-like sculpting. It’s really a perfect pedal.

So .. It's a Fuzz pedal .. and I like it .. I saw a review from 60cyclehum .. He didn't rate it highly .. but it was the sound I was looking for ... so I bought one ... and it doesn't sound exactly like the one reviewed on the tippy tappy ... but .. im not surprized as its so cheap ? .. built ok .. not a versatile pedal .. does one sound well.. I'm pleased ... but I wanted something very specific... so .. make your own mid up!

This pedal sounds great, but the noise level of it makes it unusable. It's not just hiss, but cracks, pops and scratching sounds which are very annoying. I had to return mine due to this.

This pedal is an odd one, because it's sometimes meh, and other times, if you are in the mood, the most incredible mojo machine. It's not like a fuzz face etc. more like a bloated distortion pedal with massive gain, but that would probably be a bad description. You have to try it to know.

If you can find the one setting where it doesn't sound terrible you can get a pretty nice fuzzy tone. That's it though, one sound.

Sounds gorgeous paired with my Boss DS-1. I really can't recommend this little unit enough - exceptional!
