Description
In this video, I take a close look at the Hagerman Vulture Skull, a unique all-tube overdrive and boost pedal designed to slam the front end of your rig or add genuine tube warmth and sag to digital setups. I test how it performs across a variety of gear, including a low-watt tube amp, a solid-state Peavey Bandit on both clean and dirty channels, and digital multi-effects units like the Valeton GP-80 and Hotone Ampero II Stomp. Along the way, I break down the pedal's controls, demonstrate how well it cleans up with your guitar's volume knob, and share my honest thoughts on where this pedal shines best in your signal chain.
