The G2D Cream-Tone is anything but you typical, standard overdrive effects pedal. It is capable of producing all of the effects that any other Overdrive can but yet it produces so much more reserving its place in the higher levels of Overdrive pedals. Dave Manning and Grant Wills are responsible for its development and being from Mann Electronics, it's perhaps unsurprising that it is used by many professional musicians.
It is really for those guitarists who not only want an improved sound but are willing to go that extra mile to find it. Its tone is quite scintillating and along with its two-stage configuration, it is an effects pedal for a true professional.
If we're going to nail it down to genre, the Cream-tone is at its most effective when used to create blues-tone kind of sounds. The tone is, in fact, creamy. When the product was developed, single coil pickups were definitely on the menu which is, of course, a configuration perfectly suited for the blues guitar.
If design is important and the retro look in particular is important to any guitarist then one look at the G2D Cream-Tone may just make his heart-strings swoon. With its cream-coloured control knobs and a chunky brown chassis, its entire design says "vintage". With its single knob on the left side of the design, a high level of boost is provided by the volume. A set level of volume can be programmed for lead breaks and a wide-sweep Tone control. Activating the boost and LEDs is two footswitches, a true Bypass and a Blue/Solo switch. This provides instant identification of visual mode.
If blues is your forte and the crunchy, overdriven "Sound of the South" is your holy grail of distortion effects then the G2D Cream-Tone overdrive pedal is certainly the dream effect pedal you should be using for your blues set up.
