Welcome to my review of the Bolt & Forge Analog Audio Appaloosa Germanium Overdrive Pedal. The Bolt & Forge Appaloosa Germanium Overdrive is one of the nicest low to mid-gain overdrive pedals I have tried.
This overdrive circuit cleans up great with your volume control down on your guitar and it does not change your tone immensely. This is a transparent overdrive meaning, it won't change the starting tone like a lot of other pedals. The character of your gear is still present in the pedals effect.
Official Blurb:
The Appaloosa is a true workhorse low- to mid-gain overdrive that reacts to picking dynamics like a tube amp and does it with a smooth, natural sounding breakup free of any fizz in the note decay. A neutral EQ profile keeps your guitar and amplifier sounding like your guitar and amplifier.
With boost, gain and master controls, the Appaloosa uses gain staging like a tube amp and makes it simple to dial in an edge-of-breakup tone or any amount of grit or dirt you need. The tone controls add another layer of versatility. For example, you can turn down the bass control if you need a mids-forward type of overdrive, or turn up both tone controls for a scooped-mids sound.
