A quick A/B demo of the high gain setting on both the Mojo Hand FX 'Extra Special' over drive and the Mad Professor Amplication 'Simble' Overdrive. Although both are based on the overdrive tones of the Dumble Overdrive Special amplifier, they're VERY differently voiced pedals. Definitely not a 'one or the other' kind of scenario for me as the characteristics of each pedal are so different that why not just have both :-)
At these high gain settings you won't get a real feel for the differences but in a nutshell... The Simble is a lot more transparent, tighter bass, a little more touch responsive and amp-like in feel. The 'Extra Special' has a definite mid push and gets that characteristic throaty tone. Less pronounced bass and a little looser gain signature. You know you've hit an 'effect' as soon as you switch the Extra Special on whereas the Simble retains a lot more of the characteristic guitar/amp tone. Both great - Horses for courses!
