Vox Cooltron CT02OD Big Ben Overdrive Pedal  

Wow, i got this the other day and im upset i messed around with other peddles, this is by far the best sounding and best quality peddle i have ever played. It glows blue come on!. I use it through a blackheart tube amp and i love the sound, i fell in love.

OK. I have some pretty nice stuff. Boss, Digitech, Fulltone.  Believe it or not, I find myself using this pedal more than any other. I don't understand someone saything this is "cheaply made". I find it is quality constructed and has a more desireable tone in certain ranges than any other pedal I own.  I think every pedal has a sweet spot. And that sweet spot is different to everyone's ears. I am NOT a give everything all 5's all the time sort of reviewer. I just wrote a scathing review of the Vox Tonelab ST. For the money, this is a terrific buy. And that's how I rate things. If this was a $300 pedal I would mark it down a bit, but for the money, I think it is in "best buy" category.

I've read the mixed reviews and found parts of each that I agree with. The pedal looks awesome, but is big and cheaply made. The switch feels like it's a few stomps away from going. The overdrive does sound pretty good, but there's not a lot of volume with it. I matched it with a Visual Sound Rt 808, and the 808 puts it to shame. More volume, more breakup, way better construction, solid quality, GREAT sound- overall better value.

I like it, I own it.  The drive is so smooth.  It just found a permanent place on my pedalboard setup.  It's nice to look at too.

I gave this a go, without even trying it or reading anything about it. Figured, it's VOX how bad could it be. When I got it I played it running SG->Big Ben->AC30. Great versatility in this pedal. I can dial in a great bluesy slightly overdriven buttery sound to a throaty in your face screaming fat sound. It's not for metalheads, but if you play anything remotely rock and roll to indie, buy this pedal. It's built beautifully, the tube glows a sexy blue, and the chrome housing is an eye catcher. The only thing I would change on it is that it could be a little smaller, but I tend to run too many pedals on my board and I'm always looking for just a LITTLE more room for one more. I found out that you can upgrade the tube to get a warmer tone that it does now, but I have yet to try that. Once you go VOX, you don't go back.
