The GOKKO GK-24 SilverFlame is an overdrive pedal made by GOKKO. It is built to add grit and push to a guitar signal while keeping the character of the amp and guitar intact, with controls for tone, gain and volume1.
What it does
The SilverFlame sits in the overdrive family rather than the distortion or fuzz families: it pushes the signal into a warm, dynamic breakup instead of heavy clipping. A review video from the brotherUU YouTube channel describes it as an overdrive pedal "with great clear tone and overdrive effect, and its dynamic is excellent"1.
Three knobs shape the sound1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| GAIN | Sets the amount of overdrive |
| TONE | Brightens or darkens the signal |
| VOL | Sets the output level |
The pedal uses true bypass, so when it is switched off the signal passes through without the circuit coloring it, and an LED shows whether the effect is on or bypassed1. The shell is aluminum alloy, which the reviewer describes as durable and sturdy1.
What the reviewer found
The brotherUU reviewer's verdict was about where this pedal fits. In their words:
"if you're looking for distortion then this isn't the pedal you want this pedal is really great for adding more volume an"1
In other words, the SilverFlame is best seen as a light-to-medium drive and boost rather than a high-gain distortion. Players who want heavier clipping would look at distortion pedals or fuzz pedals instead, while the SilverFlame suits adding volume and kick without losing the original quality of the sound1.
