NPD....HotCake clone

[gypsyseven]

Just scored this clone of a Hot Cake pedal on eBay and i have to say i´m really impressed.Works great with my AC30 C2.
But to be honest i haven´t found that "sparkle" sweet spot like i got with my V4 OCD...i´ll guess i have to give a little more time...anyway for under 40,- Euros is a very cool pedal!

Cool I've always been curious about the hotcake, does it work better as a dirty boost or OD?

I just played a little with it in the band rehearsal yesterday, and my very 1st impression is that it works better as a "dirty" boost than a stand alone OD with a Les Paul, but i'll give it a little more time...
Compared to my V4 OCD, used as an OD, i missed a little of those top end sparkling heights...Maybe better with singlecoils...but as i said, a little too early as i didn't got enough time to tweak around with it.

sorry...didnt spend much time on MLP recently. most reviewers of the hotcake seem to think likewise too, it does better as a boost. ill put this down on my list of pedals to get for 2012, sounds like something i need lol.

I just got it because i read soo much about how cool this pedal works with AC30's and yes, it does.

Wow, didn´t this would happen, but my HotCake clone replaced my OCD!
It´s such a sweet and smooth sounding pedal...looks like i found it´s sweet spot.
