B-TOD v.2, B-Pro .v2 Review
Vintage Guitar Magazine, February 2011
“[The B-TOD v.2 is] able to deliver a wall of drive when the riffs need to be really heavy. Best of all, even when dialed in for the highest of high-gain sounds, notes remain natural-sounding…. The [B-Pro v.2] responds well as it conjures low- to mid-gain tones ranging from cream to mean.”
G-Valve v.2, B-Pro v.2 Review
Guitar Digest, Holiday 2010 Gift Guide
“There were some sweet guitar sounds coming from a wall booth at NAMM so we wandered over to where the sounds were coming from to have a talk with Mike O., the guy behind SWELL Pedals. Talking to Mike at NAMM and since on the phone it’s easy to see that he is enthusiastic about his product and making the best tube overdrives possible.”
V.2 Review
Vintage Guitar Magazine, September 2010
“The V.2 series Swell pedals are all cool. If you need a subtle Drive, the G-Drive has that amp-breakup thing nailed. The G-Pro takes it up a notch, and the G-TOD may be the last overdrive you’ll ever buy.”
G-Drive Review
Vintage Guitar Magazine, March 2009
“Its overall sound was warm, with a subtle breakup reminiscent of a vintage tube amp pushed to inherent break-up…great for players who want to achieve that tone in low-volume situations.”
G-TOD Review
Christian Musician Magazine, July 2008
“For many of us with more gear than sense it has become clear to me that I really need the GTOD and can replace or at least put aside my other OD pedals.”
Builder Profile
Vintage Guitar, July 2008
“The goal at SWELL is to design and build the best pedal effects possible…audiophile-quality effects that you can stomp-on.”
G-TOD Review
Premier Guitar Magazine, September 2007
“Another tangible bonus of the G-TOD is its dead quiet operation, even when all of your levels are maxed out.”
