Sound Route '66 American OverdriveHere's what to look for in the latest
version:
* Thicker steel housing
* Improved Pure Tone buffer circuit
* Tone control bypass switch for Compressor so you can get those vintage
Ross compressor tones if you prefer
* Increased output volume for OD channel
* Improved radio frequency protection
* Upgraded capacitors throughout pedal
* Upgraded Bass Boost switch
* Upgraded packaging
Plus
all the great features you already love about Route 66:
* Overdrive and Compression on two separate channels with individual tone
controls.
* Overdrive channel sounds like the original TS808 and even uses the JRC4558
op-amp.
* Unique overdrive bass boost switch.
* Compression channel can be set for fully squashed "Nashville" sound or
very subtle compression.
* Compressor also has an integrated pre-amp controlled by a Gain knob so
you can get loads of clean gain without overdrive!
* Combine the channels to heat up leads.
Route
66 American Overdrive is sure to become as legendary as its namesake.
With classic compression combined with classic overdrive
modeled
after the sound of the original TS-808 Tubescreamer (JRC4558 chip and all!),
the Route 66 pedal gives you two great effects
for
the price of one.
The
two effects sound great on their own and can also be combined to compliment
one another. In fact, probably the only complaints about the
original
Tubescreamer was that it did not have much sustain or bottom end. That
won't be a problem with Route 66. Just combine the overdrive
side
with the compression side to get all the sustain you want. Add the Overdrive
Bass Boost and give it that big cabinet sound. If you love the
clean
sound of your guitar and amp, but just want a clean boost, kick in the
compressor with the Gain knob up a bit. We've added a pre-amp
stage
to the compressor to allow for a truckload of gain, with or without overdrive.
Using Route 66 American Overdrive with a good tube amp is
sure
to make it sing! Classic. |
