What a great sound! That voice control is subtle yet powerful. I'd like to run a univibe in front of it, maybe a Fuzzface in front of the vibe for that Hendrix thing Fantastic demo!
Shane i took your advice. Picked up a peavey bandit red stripe trans tube. Amazing authentic feel. I don't play my mustang 3 anymore. I gave it to my son. Thanks for the knowledge.
Once again MLA has produced an excellent pedal, if you play blues or hard rock then thus pedal is a must have addition to any pedal board. It paired very well with the Fender SS 22 Fabulous tone with clarity and headroom Great review Shane.
Great playing Shane ! Congratulations on your total view count. That's quite a milestone. I enjoyed this awesome pedal review. Great pedal choice for home volumes too. Nice job. Blues On....💙
I went to Macon, GA in 2019, felt like coming home! Wonderful place and the people were so gracious. Saw a guitarist named Dustin McCook, excellent player, well worth checking out. Pedal sounds great, really nails those tones. Thanks Shane, great review! Now, just have to sell a kidney to afford one!!
What a sweet pedal and a cool option to have on the board. Overall, I liked the sounds from position two as well. As always, I truly enjoyed the demo, Shane. 🤘😎👍
Nice. I have both the Peacock and Medicine Man and love them. The Peacock gets a lot of these tones as well. Mine does not have the boost, but I hit it with a Tube Screamer and it really rocks hard, when I want those tones.
super similar to the zendrive circuit, except with a ton of mods. it seems the makers of this pedal switched the ic around to give it a bit more dirt the 1458 is known for, rather than the 712 on the zen for being a bit smoother.. then there’s a few mods to the caps and diodes used to change the clipping and thickness a bit and adds a 3 way cap switcher as well as a few other caps and resistors here and there using the ic for an additional boost footswitch.. honestly this pedal seems to be like a hidden gem! when the zen goes for 1000$ plus and this has the same stuff going on plus some, this is a winner! that said, i would change the ic to a 2134 or a 712 and probably the voice pot to a b10 like the zen, and maybe also the volume to a b100 instead of an a100. maybe change one of the diodes to matching clipping on the zen but this is an awesome circuit!
Man… I’m not only 100% happy with my current tone, haven’t been wanting any pedals, but I can do all these sounds with pedals I have now… and I think I might buy it anyways 😂 Mostly because I’m from the Atlanta area, been living in NY 9 years, and I’m homesick, but I also feel like I have two pedals that I only use stacked with one another and I get a tone I heard in this with them, replace two pedals with one. 🤔 oh, and also, shrooms. At the very least I’ll try it out because of this, but this definitely seems like my sort of thing.
LOL despite I am lefty, I cannot adapt to see your playing guitar - my head still has feeling it's looking at some mirror image LOL. (I have learned to play RH) . BTW AO 50's strat is amazing! have the same blonde one. Even I had PRS even the same trampas gree as you have but I have never liked that guitar. Neither the USA made. Both were sold.. and yes.. great playing!
Love your playing Shane and im sorry if i sound cynical but id love to know how many 'new' overdrive pedals are released every year and if any of them offer something new or unique? My guess is several hundreds and no.
It's RIDICULOUS how many pedals are released each month, period. Back when I was a teenager, we had basically a handful of distortion pedals. Now there's tons and tons of pedals of all types, it's overwhelming.
Bought a Peacock from MLA when they released the hand wired version and love it. Your review of that had me hooked. Curious if you still had that what you think of this in comparison- I know they’re quite different but both have the voice control concept. Is this more of a Peacock on steroids or completely different in person?
this pedal has captured my attention. most pedal sound about the same to me. This is like a boost pedal with grit. Very nice. BTW your Fender S.S. sounds killer maybe thats why this pedal sounds so good ;O) Is MLA a US company?
@Hmmm mmmyeah i noticed that just a few seconds after i posted the comment. I guess I'm not used to channels being so thorough. Thanks for reminding me hummer
Are all the pedals from Missing Link better paired with clean amps like Fenders? Or are they good boosts for Cranky amps like the jtm45 you reckon? I have a jtm45 and i would like to buy the peacock overdrive
Great playing as always, nice pedal, i use the mega distortion and i go full bore with it. Of course everything is easier to play like that. This pedal is right up my alley, thanks for another great demo. Shane, what other pedals youve played give you a full on Marshall JCM 800 that you would recommend?
Seems to me a FET cascade pedal derived from the Mythical Okko Diablo, designed and manufactured in Lipzig, Germany from the guys that put on the market the best overdrive ever seen (check their history)....
Silly question but would something like that work well on a small practice amp like a roland cube? don't have a valve type amp. I watch this stuff and often wonder.
Awesome pedal! But I just can’t justify paying almost $300 American dollars for a pedal. But I think I’m going to buy it anyway! Thanks for the review!
Great playing and a really comprehensive demo; I don't need one of these but now I sort of want one.
What a great sound! That voice control is subtle yet powerful.
I'd like to run a univibe in front of it, maybe a Fuzzface in front of the vibe for that Hendrix thing
Fantastic demo!
Listening back to this, I think at least 50% of what I loved about this one is the Supersonic 22!
Wow that thing is loud 🙂 Sounds great, very dynamic and clear. Great demo as always Shane.
Shane i took your advice. Picked up a peavey bandit red stripe trans tube. Amazing authentic feel. I don't play my mustang 3 anymore. I gave it to my son. Thanks for the knowledge.
Thank You for an Awesome Demo. Just ordered mine.
So wild. I was on their website all day today looking at their amps, pedals and pickups. Sounds great.
Once again MLA has produced an excellent pedal, if you play blues or hard rock then thus pedal is a must have addition to any pedal board.
It paired very well with the Fender SS 22
Fabulous tone with clarity and headroom
Great review Shane.
A must have? 😂
Great playing Shane ! Congratulations on your total view count. That's quite a milestone. I enjoyed this awesome pedal review. Great pedal choice for home volumes too. Nice job. Blues On....💙
Wow bro KILLER demo..great pedal..love that LP in your hands..
I always bust a gut laughing when Shane with an Australian accent does a southern/GA. accent. 👍😄😂
Great Work Shane...
excellent playing and cool riff. lots of space for each guitar part. tone was stellar too.
I went to Macon, GA in 2019, felt like coming home! Wonderful place and the people were so gracious. Saw a guitarist named Dustin McCook, excellent player, well worth checking out. Pedal sounds great, really nails those tones. Thanks Shane, great review! Now, just have to sell a kidney to afford one!!
You should hear Dustin with our Peacock Humbucker set on Instagram.... Great Player.
Sounds really versatile. Still got my Peacock on the board.
Great review! Love that pedal for the low volume dirt and everything else it can do.
It's been a while since a video made me want to buy a pedal. This sounds like just what I want. I'll have to try one out.
An interesting pedal. Thanks for the review Shane.
Great Demo Shane…. Well it looks like I will be buying another pedal from MLA….that thing is smokin’ !!!!!
What a sweet pedal and a cool option to have on the board. Overall, I liked the sounds from position two as well. As always, I truly enjoyed the demo, Shane. 🤘😎👍
Man that thing is smokin’!!!!!
Looks like that new amp has put a smile on your face.
Awesome graphics
And I got the email mine shipped today!!! Can’t wait!!
Great tune, man!!!! You rock!
Great demo and the pedal sounds fantastic.
Nice playing brother.
Love that pedal!!! Seems to scream!
Beautiful.
Nice. I have both the Peacock and Medicine Man and love them. The Peacock gets a lot of these tones as well. Mine does not have the boost, but I hit it with a Tube Screamer and it really rocks hard, when I want those tones.
Nice Stuff Shane... Sounds Killer !!
Nice tones Shane, i like it. :)
Oh yea that sounds great, 70's dirt works on so many levels in my opinion 👍
That is one usable and great sounding pedal!

cool art work on the pedal
Good stuff Shane!

Their pedals are beginning to sound the same to me. A side-by-side, A/B comparison would seem to be a relevant exercise.

Nice Shane!
Shane! No peacock pickups? lol! Nice video! ~cheers
Would really love to hear your sense of how this compares to the Peacock.
Very cool. My only complaint is nobody from Atlanta calls it Hotlanta so we have an imposter selling pedals ha
It's an Allman Brothers song name
Great playing again Shane ,pedal sounds good and pretty versatile. Shane what do you use on your fretboards to get that sheen thanks.
How do you get one in the U.K. without heavy import duties and customs handling charge?
Are all the pedals from Missing Link better paired with clean amps like Fenders? Or are they good boosts for Cranky amps like the jtm45 you reckon? I have a jtm45 and i would like to buy the peacock overdrive

This is a nice one for sure. You should check out the Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret if you haven't! It's got similar Marshall-ey vibes
Sounds fantastic Shane can I get this in the UK?
That's a damn nice sounding pedal, but I could buy a small amp for that price! 😁
Hi on the hotlanta pedal how would it sound into the clean channel of a solid state amp
Shane what do you think of this pedal compared to the Marshall DSL1?
Silly question but would something like that work well on a small practice amp like a roland cube? don't have a valve type amp. I watch this stuff and often wonder.
👍🏻👍🏻
You literally pulled out the strat, just to demo the tone knob🤔
I want to hear how the tone knob interacts with humbuckers.
Great sounding pedal, but I honestly don't hear any difference vs. the Peacock. The case is badass, though.
Can you stop showing us these really cool sounding pedals? At this rate, I'm going to need a pedal board the size of a pool table.
so it's the Peacock with a different name. I guess the next version will be Germanium (but not real germanium, since they use silicon equivalents).
@GOD&GUNS no they don't. I have one. it's silicon substitutes
Awesome pedal! But I just can’t justify paying almost $300 American dollars for a pedal. But I think I’m going to buy it anyway! Thanks for the review!
Hmmmmmm. Me likey!
Sounds OK but it's $300ish soooo, I'm good.
I go online and I get 403 forbidden for this pedal , hmmmm
Callitskydogged
Cool but...$280 yikes
Lol...next...
Dat be one ugly pedal
Just wow
