Rocktron Sonic Glory Overdrive

Pretty easy to use, 3-dials that work as they should. Lovely pinkish, purply colour thing. Quite a large pedal. The blue light is extremlely....well light. Looks cool.

Quiet operation. Effects sounds good in a tube screamer type of way. Not particularly strong, a more mild drive than heavy. I found it best for bluesier stuff, although can do alt rock and add a fair bit of spice to an overdrive tube channel.

Maybe not as sturdy as your average Boss pedal but sturdy none the less.

N/A

I wanted a mild drive and this pretty much does all I require. I've owned a few overdrives in my time and this is up there as one of better ones. I'm always a bit wary of pedals on the cheaper side, but this pedal definately sounds more expensive than the price paid.

Sound good, is good, check one out!

3 knobs - very simple

Vintage Fender Stratocasters + Marshalls (all tube).
No longer use the Sonic Glory.

I play rock and the pedal add too much mid frequencies for my taste and sound. Crankig the tone knob, for compensating the mid, it gives too much treble and hiss.
As usual, at the shop it sounded OK, but at rehearsals it was no good. Never used it on a live gig.

Three knobs. Couldn't get any easier

Sweet violin tones for leads and a dynamic crunch for rythum. In fact, I would say that the Sonic Glory might be the best overdrive that touches both bases. The 808's TS9's and the rest of those types of overdrive and the best of the best for giving guitar players that extra boost to their signal to achive the singing sustain for leads. The Sonic Glory comes pretty damn close to matching these, taking into consideration that the Sonic Glory can be found pretty damn cheap. Conversely, The Sonic Glory's gain and be pushed considerably harder than the formentioned overdrives which allows it to produce rocking tones for riffing. When played through a tube amp, I hear a nice plexi-tone. The distortion cleans up really nice when the volume knob is turned back a bit and the notes retain good clarity when in chords or single notes.
Some hum when the unit is operating but not at what I consider unacceptable levels

I've stepped on it everyday for a year now...no problems

Perfect for classic rock, blues, jazz leads but probably more pedal than you need if you're just looking for a signal booster.
I've been playing over 15 years now and I'm using the Sonic Glory with a Strat and all tube Blues Deluxe. I use the overdrive from the amp for comping and press on the Sonic for leads. The amp's overdrive isn't very dirty so if I need a heavier tone for a particular song's rythum, I crank the Sonic's gain and run it on the amp's clean channel. Works great for me

Purple paint. Three knobs for volume, tone and drive. Its a tubescreamer, folks.

Well heres the verdict. The knobs and pots are really cheap but the effect does what its supposed to do- boost your signal and supply some transparent dirt. It does a really good clean boost. The overdrive sounds are OK but not as good as my Maxon OD-808. The dynamics are good with not too much compression and the harmonics are acceptable. However the Sonic Glory has more volume output than the Maxon and a wider range of distortion also. Its just that the range sweep of the tone knob on the Sonic Glory has many dead spots, and then it jumps at the very end of its range. One thing the Sonic Glory does well is clean up with guitar volume- the sound remains bright, so the pedal works for both rhythm and leads.

It looks to be OK, better than Snarling Dogs.

I play blues rock- been playing for 25 years and I only got good about 5 or 10 years ago, so it takes alot of time to get really good on the guitar. Other effects I own include the Austone Millenium Overdrive, Roger Mayer Axis and Spitfire fuzzes, Austone Fuzz Nutz, Blues Pearl Blue Screamer and Blue Balls distortion pedals, Fulltone Soulbender, Zinky True Grit, Maxon OD 820 and 808 overdrives, Rx Prescription Overdriver (new white paint version with led and better switch!), Vintage Rat, DOD 250, Banzai Cold Fusion, Boss SD-1 and the BD-2 Blues Driver, and the Barber Tone Pump. I play VINTAGE Gibson Les Paul Standards and Fender Strats into tube amps.
