I've been using my acoustic guitar in my electric pedal board rig for a little while. Partly out of laziness. I do live looping with acoustic guitar. My electric rig has most of the stuff I'd plug an acoustic guitar into, compression, delay, reverb, modulation. That sort of stuff.
One day I turned on one of my two PoTs, the one set to boost. I was pleasantly surprised. It sounded really good!
I've been using a Prince on acoustic guitar for about a month, so I'm sure it wasn't a fluke- the PoT's boost is actually really great with acoustic guitar w/ piezo pickup. I have it set just barely above unity volume.
I need the solo to cut through just a tiny bit. It sounds like the PoT is cutting off the boominess, it really helps my solo punch through enough to be heard while not overpowering. Things aren't muddy at all!
The knobs all about noon with the drive at 1:00. I'm using light compression ahead of the PoT in the signal chain.

The One

You are on this page because the KOT market has collectively lost its mind, and you are wondering if the POT is a satisfactory substitute. While the POT is not a 1:1 match in my experience playing both, it does its own thing absolutely brilliantly.
This pedal has that sound you’re after. At 18v this thing sings from the heavens like nothing else. It’s the difference between a 2 dimensional drawing and a 3 dimensional figure - it’s that good.
The life and articulation you get with the volume knob run high sets the POT apart in my experience, and there are so many great tones you can get with both the Boost and OD. When you dial in that magical setting with the perfect amount of gain it’s like your guitar’s fingerboard takes on a new life.
The personality of each pickup and guitar shines through in a way that accentuates their best qualities, which is exactly what I wanted.
Don’t overthink it. I wish I had started my search here! The POT is an all-timer.

Best overdrive I've ever owned!

Update 03/15/23: Managed to order a second POT. One is great, stacking two of them together really is where the magic starts. Unbelievable! ...I assume everything else is said about the POT already in all the other reviews here and elsewhere. All I have to add is: I guess I do own or have owned more than two dozen overdrive pedals in my life, many different kinds, most of them really expensive stuff. The truth is: I've never owned a better overdrive pedal than the POT! The KOT maybe even better, this I might find out in five years from now on ;-) Folks, you really know how to do pedals right! Keep on!

Prince of Tone - TRUE ROYALTY!

BELIEVE THE REVIEWS -- I've owned the 'usual' range of OD pedals; Blues Driver, Blues Breaker, and various boutique pedals and is the REAL DEAL! The BEST Overdrive pedal i have EVER owned and used.
The tonal abilities and the musical quality of the sound produced by this pedal are in a league of their own (along with its Bigger Sibling, The King of Tone).
THANK YOU!!!! Mike (and entire Analogman Crew)!
You Not Only ROCK -- You help OTHER MUSICIANS ROCK, TOO!

Really fast shipping, well packaged, perfect quality with a usable tone no matter where any of the knobs are. All knobs maxed is my favorite at the moment. There is no bad unusable tone no matter what you do. the pedal sounds amazing
