What I love most about this pedal is that it perfectly flatters the harmonic spectrum throughout. And, wether it's trying to achieve cranked amp tone at very low levels, or pushing the amp half way and letting the pedal make it absolutely roar, I am very happy with what I hear. The immediacy of response, the HUGE sounding notes, the compression that is so subtle yet so magical.

Mainly I play through Black and Brown Fender amps.Sounds DAMN good on TV Front tweed too. I can truly say that it is the first pedal that stays on pretty much all the time for me. The Steel String Clean Drive does EXACTLY what I hoped it would. I'm so happy with it, I actually just ordered the Ultra Phonix overdrive as well. I don't know much about electronics, but this pedal just gives me that magic mojo that I've been chasing for a long time. It's going to be an always-on staple in my set up now. I was just loving the sounds I was getting so much. Once I did this, I literally couldn't put my guitar down. I readjusted the settings a bit and got good parity. To my surprise, Mason himself replied and explained to me that it is a loud pedal and will interact differently with different amps. I actually emailed Vertex asking if this was normal. When using the same settings as what I was seeing on a lot of the videos, I was getting a significant volume boost. One thing that did catch me a little off guard is that this pedal is LOUD. More overtones, more classic Fender type sounds. I'm not exaggerating here- the moment I plugged it in, it was like I suddenly was hearing a wider spectrum of sound. I did a lot of online research and decided to buy the Vertex Steel String. The Goldfinger is a great platform for pedals and is modeled after more vintage amps. I play mostly Fenders and prefer slightly driven, glassy tones. I love this amp and have been slowly experimenting with various pedals to get the kind of tones and sounds I want. I had been playing through a small Vox for a couple years and bit the bullet and bought a Bogner Goldfinger 54. Ow by the way, excellent customer service, thanks again Mason and Vertex team!Ī few months ago I finally made the jump to a high-end amp. If I have to purchase this again, I would a ton more. It works really well with other pedals in the chain. This has been the tone tool I've been longing, and looking for a preamp. If your looking for gain this is not your pedal, but if your looking for tonal shaping and Dynamics of a loud 100 watt clean channel dumble amp dimed that you can reproduce on a 15 watter tube amp or direct to the board, this is your pedal. Very responsive to pickups, it brings out the character of whatever pickups you are using. Gives you that unprecedented low-end Dynamics and tightness and gives the highs thickness but retains it's sparkliness. It gives you that tonal "Halo" in which everything sounds better. It's kinda creepy how it project the tones that's coming out of it, I mean, I still can't believe it's a pedal.

As far as the sound, it is exactly how it is advertised and exactly how professional demo musicians describes it. As Mason told me it was only a cosmetic imperfections but nothing wrong with the inside for the b-stock anyway, I'm a kind of guy who likes aesthetic imperfections, it kinda gives it character. I am an owner of the ultraphonix-I love my ultraphonix-but I've been considering a cleaner version so I jump the gun on getting a b-stock steelstring when the opportunity opened up.
