EQD sum this one up better than I can, and I wholeheartedly agree: “The Acapulco Gold is a dirt-simple power amp distortion device that’s based on the vibe of a cranked Sunn Model T. You know what’s awesome? Vintage Sunn Amplifiers. You know what else is awesome? Simplicity. One button, one knob. How loud would you like it? Just move the knob. This is the spirit of rock and roll. Quit turning knobs and play that guitar like you mean it.“
Yep, that says it all. Turn it up and rock. Or turn your guitar’s knob down and still rock, but with a little less brute force. I think I love this pedal.
