Description
The El Mocambo Overdrive Pedal will fatten up your tone with some extra girth around the waist, giving you that highly sought-after mid-range "oomph" that cuts through the mix when your band is pushing decibels.
This particular gritty mid-range honk gives the guitar a certain vocal quality that is ideal for a singing blues solo but also works formidably in a hard rock setting as a lead boost on top of an already overdriven sound.

Named after the bar where SRV played arguably his most famous show. Many regard the tone captured that night to be his best. He used TS-9s. A TS-9 isn't exactly an expensive pedal but this El Cambo pedal (as it's known now to avoid copyright) is even cheaper, so I felt no qualms buying it. It sounds like a TS-9 to me. I have other tube screamer variants that are slightly warmer or slightly smoother or seem to push the mids slightly differently or cut bass a bit less. This is much more biting, feels a bit more aggressive and does what I'd expect a tS-9 to do. When using the right amps it does get me close to that holy grail tone. Give it a try!

I have a Princeton Chorus, the SS cousin to a Princeton reverb. I wanted a mellow OD pedal that would break up on double stops and more aggressive picking, without turning into howling distortion or shrill, metallic crunch. This pedal does exactly that and does it for a crazy low price. (Yes, I know SS amps don't break up, I just wanted an approximation of the sound of that happening)

No lie, I did buy it because of the bar in Toronto with the same name, not sure if it's around anymore. After playing around with it, I will say it sounds great and I will use it in recordings. I found the using it along with the RUSH boost pedal, it gave me that ooph I was looking for.

For me, this is the best low gain overdrive I have ever used or owned . This is an excellent example of "cleans right up when you turn the volume down on your guitar" ......I own Tubescreamer type pedals, and Centaur like pedals ....and this is REALLY natural .....sounds , for me, like a good tube overdriven amp SHOULD sound . ....Harmonically rich on single coils or humbuckers ......awesome at twice the price ! ........Only drawback is 4 super tiny screws have to be removed to install the battery ....though I have not yet used up a battery ........but tonally ....10/10 !
