“Hello, I’m Ayla Tesler-Mabe, I started using the Honeymoon Sweet Overdrive pedal to a few years ago. I recorded that Black Magic Woman YouTube cover with it! I haven’t played a gig without it since, including on the Jimmy Kimmel Show and touring throughout Europe and The US. It has been working perfectly for me for so many years. What an amazing pedal! It’s so cool that there’s a local company making seriously amazing stuff!!”
— Ayla Tesler-Mabe, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter from Vancouver, Canada (Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive 2)
"It's really cool pedals! Both have great flexibility. They work great on a clean amp and you can get the sweet spot easily. Nice job guys! I get a lot of clients coming for me to get great guitar sounds and your pedals are a great tool to have in the closet".
— Greg Wurth, Steve Vai’s studio engineer, Grammy nominated, gold & platinum award winning Producer (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion, Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive)
"The Maple Leaf Royal drive has a satisfying, clear voice that is a pleasure to play. It can also be used in a more traditional ‘tube screamer’ type way, due to the dual drive stages. It is amazing how this pedal sounds like tube amp distortion. Warm, powerful and rich. I highly recommend this pedal =)
"The Hot Ice Sweet Distortion is a beautiful pedal. Amazing work. It is very quiet and responsive even at maximum gain. Very thick sound. Hot Ice Sweet Distortion is the best pedal I've tried. I love it!".
— Devin Townsend, Canadian musician, singer, songwriter and producer (Maple Leaf Royal Drive, Hot Ice Sweet Distortion)
"The Sun Beam Magic Drive by Aleks K Production is letting me have thick, creamy and articulate sounds at any amp volume. Even with the natural compression of higher gain settings, it's a really musical drive, perfect on starts, with the density control that beefs up the sound, but preserves the guitar's nature. I tried it also on a solid state amp, and gave me nonetheless warm and tube-like results, which is great. Makes wonders with the Deluxe Reverb reissue, and gave me a nice, controlled and meaty grit with my resonator steel when playing bottleneck style! This guy is definitely a keeper! Check it out! Really great stuff!"
— Francesco D'Andrea, Italian composer, arranger, songwriter and music producer for Film, TV, commercials and video games (Sun Beam Magic Drive)
"The Hot Ice is one of the best overdrive/distortion pedals I have ever played! From transparent break up to super saturated it always remains musical, and has earned a permanent spot on my pedal board!"
— Darrell Braun, Canadian Guitarist & YouTuber (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion)
"The Hot Ice Sweet Distortion from Aleks K is the most exciting and distinctive distortion box I've ever heard. Sweet, creamy distortion without the harshness of lesser pedals. Quiet as a mouse and it's built like a tank. The sparkle blue paint job just sends it over the top! Great work Aleks!"
— Jabo Bihlman, Emmy award winning guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion)
"The hot ice sweet distortion is such a well-rounded and screaming pedal. Having two drives and comp allows you an incredible range of low to high gain tones. Your guitar simply sings with it! A must-have for serious players!"
— Chris Loocke, Nashville based guitarist (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion)
"I am very impressed by the Red Scorpion Mega Distortion from Aleks K Production! This pedal is far better from any pedals I have ever tried before, and I do have a lot of experience with numerous pedals. I am happy to now use the Red Scorpion pedal.
Red Scorpion Mega Distortion has fantastic sound, great tone and it is very versatile. This pedal sounds very good within a band, its lead tone is not lost between drums, keyboards and the bass, and it is great for live performances and studio recordings.
I love that this pedal has an endless sustain and is not noisy even at maximum gain. The Red Scorpion is a high gain distortion, but it is not too loud and has a wonderful melodic tone and it does not cut the ear, as the vast majority of other pedals.
This pedal is very well built. All the components are from Canada, USA, Germany, and Japan only. This pedal is very costly for the guys from Aleks K Production, however, the price is adequate and it is worth every penny.
This pedal is unique in the way that it inspires creativity in guitarist, encourages the development of new musical territories and new musical ideas. All this significantly differentiates the Red Scorpion from all other pedals on the market. I wish the best of luck to "Aleks K Production", their new devices, new effects and overall success in business"!
— Stepan Chumak, songwriter, singer, and lead guitarist from Ukrainian rock band "King Size" (Red Scorpion Mega Distortion, Hot Ice Sweet Distortion, Sun Beam Magic Drive)
Hello friends, I am Gaby Vegh, the bass player and singer from the band GNÔ. I used the Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive and Hot Ice Sweet Distortion pedals on Gnô's forthcoming LP with Djul (Julien LaCharme), and especially on my Dean 8 string bass, it sounded incredible! I love the sounds of the distortion we used to double some bass parts with the 8 string under the guitar solos, great bottom and incredibly punchy mediums. I love the gain. Awesome stuff!!!"
— Gaby Vegh, French bass player/singer/ writer/composer (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion, Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive)
"Aleks, just wanted to let you know that my Sun Beam arrived yesterday, tried it out last night and just love it. It’s a great sounding low to medium drive. The density control does a great job of making it sound thicker and fuller without getting that over-the-top loose-sounding bass tone.
I have tried and used a ton of low/medium drive pedals from the JHS Morning Glory, King of Tone (which I have but like your better), the forum famous Paul C. Timmy that I have tried at least 3 times thinking I am missing something but it just didn’t have the sound I was looking for as well the Rockett Blue Note, Menatone Blue Collar, several Klone types, Rockbox Boiling Point and baby blues, Bogner pedals, Barber LTD,s, Big Joe Stomp box Vintage tubes and several more I can't think of at the moment all were consider some of the best on the market.
It took plugging yours in for about 10 seconds to realize the Sun Beam was one of the best I have tried. Thanks again"!
— Jim Wintz, guitarist from "Classic Rock Band (CRB)" (Sun Beam Magic Drive, Hot Ice Sweet Distortion, Red Scorpion Mega Distortion, Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive 2)
"There are a ton of distortion devices out there but this one got my attention right away. The Hot Ice has a great feature set that makes tweaking it easy. Singy/smooth/sustainy, grainy/crunchy/edgy, it’s all in there. The low end stays big, the mids stay focused and the top end is articulate. As soon as I got one, I wanted another one. Congrats on building something unique but classic, guys.”
— Jay Buettner, Canadian live and session guitar player/producer/songwriter (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion)
"When I received my Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive, three things impressed me the most. First, the quality of the components and assembly. Second, I was shocked when I plugged it in. The pedal sounds fantastic!!! And finally, I was impressed with the features of this toy box. I can easily create any tone I like, I can go from bright, transparent drive to crunchy and smooth, powerful solo overdrive. Thank you guys for a great product!"
— Oleksandr Hryshchuk, guitar player for Ukrainian rock band S.K.A.Y. (Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive)
"I had my first gig with the Hot Ice Sweet Distortion in my rig on recently and numerous rehearsals before. The pedal is rad! It's flawless! One of my favourite pedals I have ever owned!"
— Matt Ahwal, guitarist for the British band "Fond Of Rudy" (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion)
"The Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive... when they called it sweet, they weren't kidding. I use the flexible drive one and two controls in various configurations, whether I'm playing rock, blues, country, or even jazz/fusion music.
There’s a singing sustain, and you really can hear the uncompromised quality built in to each personalized unit. I've had the fortune of using vintage and boutique tube amplifiers and analog effects on stage and in the studio for 30 years. I've seen transistor amplifiers and digital models come and go. There is no substitute for analog craftsmanship, and Aleks K products demonstrate this in my pedalboard at every show and session."
— Stewart McLellan, guitar player, producer at SMP Audio, Victoria, Canada (Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive)
“I love this pedal! I love it since the moment I plugged it in. The Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive is an extremely versatile pedal and gives me so much tone to work with. It will stay on my pedalboard forever!
Thank you Aleks and Nazar :)”
— Alana Haim, guitarist from LA pop-rock band HAIM (Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive)
“My favorite pedal on the pedalboard. I love the two-drive system, it gives me so much flexibility and I can set exactly the tone I like. The juice control makes it even more flexible. This pedal can sound dark, bright, it can do it all.”
— Danielle Haim, guitarist from LA pop-rock band HAIM (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion)
"When I ordered the Honey Moon I was not sure what to expect. But sir.... I must say that it is the best sounding creamy Overdrive I have ever owned/played/heard. It's simply amazing!! Thank you for making a such a great pedal. As far as I am concerned it's already a classic and new bench mark."
— Derrick Zajac, Ohio based song writer, producer, musician, guitar player (Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive)
"I have demonstrated well over 1000 pedals during my tenure as a Youtube obsessive. Most of those pedals have been dirt boxes of one type or another; overdrive, fuzz, distortion, etc. Many are similar sounding with similar features but packaged in a different coloured box with a clever name.
Aleks K Production pedals stand apart from the crowd as they offer genuine points of difference that are eminently musical and usable. Just the sonic scope of the Hot Ice Sweet Distortion and Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive respectively should be enough to convince most players of their worth. Add to that the uncompromising build quality and component choice and you have a winning combination that excels in all departments - sound, function and build.
It's easy to understand why these pedals are fast becoming the choice of well known professionals. I count myself as a fan also. Great work, Aleks and Nazar!"
— Brett Kingman, World famous YouTube gear demonstrator (Hot Ice Sweet Distortion, Honey Moon Sweet Overdrive)
"This is a big, great, fantastic sound!!! I tried the pedal on stage, in studio, with differents amps, guitars, microphones etc... And I am always getting same results: powerful, thich distortion. The Hot Ice is really great for me essentially for the recording in studio and live performances. Great for both rhythm and lead".
