The ZVex Super Hard-On is probably the single most useful guitar effects pedal I have ever bought it is also difficult to explain why this is the case. The technical description of this pedal is that it is a Mosfet clean boost what this means in reality is that it takes your guitars signal and not only increases the volume but also it's clarity and definition without imposing the pedals own sound onto it in the way a treble boost pedal would. This is particularly useful with older guitars where the magnets in the pickups have lost some of their strength with the passage of time but I have yet to find a guitar that did not sound better when put through the SHO. There is a huge increase in volume available with this pedal and it can be used to drive an amp or also as a means of boosting your guitars sound to let a solo cut through the mix. The build quality of the pedal is first class and it takes up very little space on a pedal board, it is also worth noting that it works well in conjunction with other pedals of all types. As I said at the start it is hard to explain why this is such a great pedal. Check out YouTube for demos and the ZVex web site for the main man Zachary Vex's take on what he was aiming to achieve with this pedal. Suffice to say that in my opinion Mr Vex certainly hit the target and I wouldn't be without this pedal. NB. THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE VEXTER SERIES PEDAL BUT WOULD EQUALLY APPLY TO ITS US MADE COUNTERPART !Read full review
Professional product, promptly delivered, for dirt cheap - how do the Chinese do it? For my application (clean surf-ee Stratocaster), these SHO type boosters broaden the guitar's frequency response for a more hi fi sound. Highly recommended.

The product is excellent, Jonny Lang has used in CrossRoads Festival and I liked that sound. The quality helped me to make choice the zvex. I'm very pleased.
Every working guitarist who cares about real tone should have one of these in their effects chain. It gives you the purist signal possible without messing anything up. Once inserted in your chain you will never be without it (it's that awesome).
