118- Overdrive Pedals (Lloyd)
Manage episode 404429729 series 2724103
My first overdrive was a tube screamer circuit. It turned my solid state amp into a broken up tone machine. A few years later I went with a tube amp, and although I could get it driven, nothing beat the tones I got with an overdrive pushing the front end.
Of course tone is subjective. Some love the colors an EQ or clipping can give. Others prefer something more transparent or with a slight bump in a certain frequency. Either way, overdrives are necessary and overdrives are inspirational.
But which overdrive is king? Do they all sound the same? Why would you want more than one? Does the price matter? How many is too many? Is a fuzz considered an overdrive? Which should I try? Is there anything original out there? And Robert Keeley… What does he have to do with all this?
Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.
