ISET Guitar Dumble Overdrive Pedal Classical Blues Mini Single Effect Pedal For Electric Guitar Bass True Bypass

Dumbler pedal:The Dumble tone is a thing of legend and rightly so, Robben Ford comes to mind. Dumble amps are almost out of reach for the average guitar player, but the Iset Dumbler pedal can get you close. This is a well made nano pedal that has 4 knobs:- Volume: Self Explanatory.- Tone: Bright on the left and darker on the right.- Voice: Now this is, in my opinion, what makes this pedal so special! The Dumble tone is known for having pronounced mids and upper mids, the Voice knob on this pedal, is very powerful. I slapped the pedal in front of my practice amp and tried out several variations. At about 2 o clock, it gave me some amazingly rich and resonant upper mids that I had never got out of my practice amp before. Cranking it up adds more brightness without ever being harsh. Full marks to ISet for getting this right. Below noon, you get a fat bassier tone, which is good to balance your tone if you're using a brighter sounding guitar. This knob is pretty powerful, so take your time and try out various positions.- Gain: Self Explanatory, the way I would describe the gain on this pedal is 'sweet sounding'. You can go from a clean boost to a reasonably hot overdrive.The pedal is very quiet when bypassed which is really good. It's very compact (fits on your palm) and won't take much space on your pedal board at all.This pedal is pretty versatile but is particularly great for a fat, rich bluesy tone and other low to mid gain styles. Cranked all the way up, it does some great crunchy rock tones as well.In summary, get this pedal for getting some really cool tones out of your rig.Delay Pedal:The ISet Delay pedal is another amazing piece of equipment for those seeking quality warm analog sounding delays and echos on a budget. The pedal has three knobs- Echo: This is akin to a mix knob, all the way down is your dry guitar and all the way up is where you're letting all of the pedal sound to come through. I found my preferred setting at around 2 o clock.- F. Back: This is the feedback knob to control how many repeats you get, just past 8 o clock was about one repeat. Cranked all the way up is a never ending delay loop, which can be fun to play with. Somewhere around noon is a good 3-4 repeats.- Time: This is the time between the repeats, Leave it at around 10 o clock for a cool slapback delay effect! Crank it up in tandem with the Echo, for a wet, satisfying lead tone.This pedal like the other ISet pedals is very quiet when bypassed which is awesome. The tones are warm and don't sound like digital delays, which is always a plus. The casing seems durable and the on off button is sturdy and satisfying to click.Great job, ISet!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is an inexpensive Booster Pedal that I found to be very effective on a Bass Guitar. I also found some response at the lower fret level. Highly recommend this Booster to any Bass Player.

Great pedal. It sounds really good and is really easy to have a good tone. Keeps a good amount of low end from my bass. The button is a but stiff but not to bad

The difference between higher-priced pedals and anything below $100 tends to be that cheaper pedals ‘color’ the sound of your guitar, whereas the more expensive ones seem to bring the sound of your instrument forward through the effect. iSet pedals are no exception to the low-cost ‘coloring,’ but I’m finding the sound of iSet pedals to be to uniquely useful as effects in their own right. This review covers the iSet ‘Atomic Heavy Metal’ distortion and flanger pedals:Distortion: Wide, almost infinite range of EQ options that are highly responsive to your guitar’s pickup switching combinations. I was looking for something with a lot of high end with sharp, pointy teeth, and this little gem delivers. A lot of how your distortion’s going to sound depends on other things like your amps - plus if you use compression, eq, preamp pedals, etc. I wanted a lo-fi punk rock distortion effect to compliment a DOD FX-55 and a Boss Metal Zone, and this is the one.Flanger: Great pedal. I use it all the time now. The art & hardware choices are perfect and it sounds amazing. The volume seemed to drop when the effect was on so I opened it up and found two little blue adjustment pots - one that adjusts the higher/lower range of the ‘range’ knob, and one that adjusts the sync of the ‘color knob, which brings up the volume a bit when you get it the most ‘centered’ on the sound. Mine was off a bit so it seemed too quiet when engaged but this tweak really livened it up.

It's a decent sounding pedal, but it seems that unity gain is too high up in the range. I have to max the volume and gain to get any sort of boost with this pedal. The voice knob makes it useable where it may not have been without it. It seems to shift the middle freq of the tone knob so you can get a more honky or nasal sound if you need to cut thru a mix, but on the lower end it's a bit too dark.Otherwise it feels well built, but it's not what I expected as an overdrive. Maybe I need to play more with it. It might work better on a totally clean and loud amp for a more authentic Dumble feel. This isn't really an overdrive I would want to use on a crunchy amp to boost the gain.
