That Pedal Show | 1 year ago
There are SO many great overdrives out there - here are six of our unsung faves
Welcome to the show! At the last count, we had approximately N+1 overdrive pedals. N being equal to a number we don’t actually know. But it must be //at least// 200. How on Earth do you choose from that lot? And how do you choose what to buy in first place?
We have no idea. But here are six overdrive pedals that we would regard as somewhat unsung; perhaps not as popular as they ‘should’ have been. Some are still available new, and you can also pick ’em up used!
Happy hunting, and happy OD tones!
Please enjoy the show…
NOTE: The newer J Rockett HRM V2 is slightly different as it turns out… even more Dumbly! Can’t wait to get one!
