MXR Custom Shop Il Torino Overdrive – guitar effect pedal review with “Top Gear” award
TopGuitar is proud to inform, that the September issue of the magazine features a review of MXR Custom Shop Il Torino Overdrive guitar effect pedal, which has been awarded with “Top Gear” editors’ award. The instrument was delivered for review by MXR distributor in Poland, Music Dealer.
Below are some excerpts from a review by gear department editor Mikolaj Sluzewski, which may serve as reasons for the award:
“The overdrive sound offered by Il Torino is, paradoxically, dirty and clean at the same time – it fills a large amount of space with rich harmonic content, while retaining great clarity and headroom which lets you play even full chords across the strings without overstuffing the speaker.”
“MXR Custom Shop Il Torino Overdrive fully deserves the tag of a professional class gear, reaching the level of boutique, highly limited and even twice as pricey pedals.”
“Most of all, this effect has its own, unique character that gravitates towards classic tones, while not being just a reproduction of vintage units.”
The latest issue of TopGuitar magazine is available across Poland in Empik and Ruch press retail networks, in the online store (http://topguitar.pl/sklep/), and as mobile version for tablets and smartphones using iOS (http://topguitar.pl/ios/) or Android (http://topguitar.pl/android/) operating systems.
