Barber Super Sport Overdrive

Barber Super Sport Overdrive

We had many requests over the years to "Bring back the Direct Drive SS", players really loved the thick bold and sweet sound of the original Custom shop version of our Direct Drive. Ronni and David have painstakingly revived and revved up the B-Custom version of the Direct Drive with 5 highly adjustable internal trim pots so that players can dial in exacting amounts of; note shape, harmonics, bass, midrange, and presence. The internal trim adjustments are provided by the legendary CTS control company, known for their durability and smooth operation. Ronni and Bronson Wagner conceived and executed the new muscle car inspired custom paint theme, using multiple rich layers of ultra durable powder coating, with baked on enamel silk screened graphics, so there is no worries of the so called "boutique" back yard finish that looks good for a week and then flakes off after some light gigging.

The super Sport lives up to its sonic heritage and adds adjustable midrange so you can dial the sound from "flat eq" to "thick mids", the new note shape control, allows you to adjust how much bass goes through the overdrive circuit, now you can get a tight focused sound, or a big round vintage "cough" when you lay into the next power chord or wildly shaking 12th fret g string stab! The Super Sport is everything players have been asking Barber for in a medium high gain, british flavored B-Custom overdrive pedal...Drive yours home today!

* New internal controls- The Super Sport Direct Drive can dial in Note Shape, Harmonics, Bass, Midrange and presence.

* True bypass switching with led indicator- this is achieved by using an high grade switch, in addendum Solid 20 gauge copper hookup wire is used between the jacks and switching to create a transparent bypass.

* Full size pots- for durability and for easy serviceability if needed.

* Hand made in the B-Custom shop-Ronni crafts each Super Sport in the Custom shop located in Baltimore.

* Double sided pc board with plate through holes-This is the way the military does it when they want electronics to work FOREVER! all pedals should be made this way , few are...

* Ready for 18 volt operation-The Super Sport operates from 9 volts to 18 volts, this allows use of higher voltage converters and supplies, for players who want to try higher voltage tweaks.

* Barber adjustable phono style recovery stage- Most of our op-amp based overdrive pedals use a cool old style phonograph circuit to recover the frequencies lost in the overdrive stage, this worked great for vinyl and now works great for guitar overdrive!
