Are You Bored Of Normal Overdrive Pedals?
Published 04 Feb 2022
Duration:

Welcome to the show! In this episode Dan and I are playing through a handful of pedals that offer a different take on the ‘standard’ overdrive approach. Which is to say they all end up helping you to achieve an overdriven tone… but are a world away from the ubiquitous Tube Screamers, Blues Drivers and so on (love them as we do!)
As always we’re not trying to reinvent the wheel here, moreover offer up a palette of textures and tones that might help you get that bit more connected with your sound and playing.
Yes, there are many many other pedals also available. We chose these five today.
Enjoy the show!
