Modtone Pedals!?

The Pressman · 18th August 2011

Title pretty much says it all...

Looking at getting a Modtone Deep Dive (octave pedal), wondering if anyone else has had experience with any of the Modtone pedal range?

Thanks!

Pretty sure Modtone, Rogue and some other "brands" are built in China at the same factory. I recently picked up the Blues Overdrive, Distortion, Chorus, Tremelo and Analog delay. The BOD, Chorus and Tremelo are definite keepers-good sounds out of the box, durable and come with batteries installed! The delay has harsh repeats and will need some modding when FSB is back online (it's a PT2399 based delay so modding to Deep Blue Delay specs may be possible), the Distortion is just nasty.

Not sure about the octave pedal, but if you're handy at all with a soldering iron, if it's not right out of the box it should be fixable.
