The Harlot lends body and
fullness to a clean amp and
transforms an amp on the
edge of breakup into a wild
rock and roll machine. Setting
the Harlot alone atop of a
vintage Marshall-style amp
makes for a simple, perfect
and powerful pair.
The Harlot is somewhat
limited due to its lack of a
tone knob or EQ section.
You’ll essentially get out of it
what you put into it, so that
means setting up your amp
and other dirt boxes just right
so you can optimize your
tone. Being a simpleton, I
didn’t mind the lack of tone
controls—players are only a
step away from rocking out.
Larry Alan has produced a
very capable drive pedal in
the Harlot. Whether you’re
after a simple, slightly dirty
boost or a rowdy distortion,
you’ll either with ease.
Sure, it’s less versatile than
other options with various
knobs and switches, and it’s
probably not a be-all endall drive pedal. In short, the
Harlot isn’t going to make you
dinner or fold the laundry,
but she’ll show you a hell of a
good time; each gig will be a
night to remember.
WHAT WE LIKE
Simple, great sounding
dirt box.
