IMO their Sparkle Drive pedal is arguably the best TS OD alternative ever made with its built-in clean signal boost. On an already overdriven amp it’s amazing. Cheers. Nice demo!
Great video man! it surely is a utility pedal and what i think to be the best clean boost. if you do ever see this comment i would love to know what les paul that is that you were playing sounds killer!
This brick is subtle, but powerful. It just makes your guitar(and pedals) sound GOOD. Just learning how to use mine... It's my Special Sauce pedal now, #3 in the pedal chain where it's right at home.
@@danieljbdj it looks good no matter what it does 😉 haha I’m guessing you mean “sound” not “look”. Quite a few of these example added some push to the amp I was using. It can definitely provide boost and “drive”. However, my preferred use is to have the Giggity as an always-on, foundational tool.
By the hundreds of OD pedals this pedal is relatively weak. In fact videos that feature it I think kill the sales. your video has done both the players and Voodoo a BIG favor. It is 11 years old so it comes at no surprise. I think it would be better replaced by a clean boost or alternatively just put the problem solvers out as their own pedal. In my mind it is like a Ford F150 being sold as a Ferrari. As a a sports car it sucks, but as a pickup it is killer.
Definitely think you’re on the right track with the analogy. It CAN do drive sounds but it’s not a tube screamer, OCD, or Klon. If you go into expecting one thing…you won’t get it.
I think the entire guitar community has some confusion on what an overdrive is or what a boost is and how many people use them interchangeably. Lots of people seem to bundle a Marshall Bluesbreaker with a Tube screamer and sure they both will distort the signal they're generally used for different purposes. I don't have a fix but it seems to cause a lot of mix ups

I've debated snagging on one of these for a few years now. Thanks for running it down for us!! Cheers!!
Do it! This thing w/ single coils is amazing 🤩

Sweet sounds!
Glad you dig it! Thanks for watching
james santiagos original voodoo labs youtube channel explains this pedal perfectly...and he should know.
He should, he does and his video was very good! The Eric Johnson tones were what made me most curious to try this pedal in the first place.
That’s a cool ass pedal!
Thanks man 👍
Does this pedal look good pushing another pedal or an amplifier??

I also use it all the time on as the last pedal and other drive pedals before it
Wrestlemania VI is the best Wrestlemania
For my childhood it’s VI and XII for me…I was at XII in Anaheim.
For my teens it’s gotta be X-Seven.
