Ok I bought the Tokai Overdrive and played a rehearsal with it tonight. It seems like a cool pedal, at least the tone knob has more usable range than a Tubescreamers. It felt a bit more relaxed than Boss SD-1 which I've been favouring past half a year. The dirt is kind of smaller grained if you know what I mean. It isn't noisy at all, that I can tell you already, even with a compressor pushing it, it is very quiet. But there's a slight pause in the sound when turning it on and off, a bit irritating. The plastic housing doesn't really impress me, I guess I need a backup for it anyway. But a nice overdrive for 40 euros! And a another Tokai to my collection!
