Description

The Silktone Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

The overdrive+ is an original circuit with a whole range of both familiar and unique tones – from low gain always-on tonal enhancer to ripping high gain lead machine. With a combination of JFETs, op-amps and a few diodes inside it covers a lot of ground.

Key Features

  • No Clipping – The op-amp is used for gain and buffering and is raised to around 30 volts so it never clips, even when another pedal is stacked in front.
  • Strangle/Raw Boost – It’s a very colourfully voiced dirty boost that adds gain and a ton of 2nd harmonic distortion to the signal.

Controls

In addition to standard VOL, TONE, and GAIN controls you’ll find a bass cut switch for perfectly tightening things up and a clipping mode switch to swap between symmetric or asymmetric clipping styles (symmetric is smoother, asymmetric is more natural and textured).

The strangle/raw boost is something to behold. Think of this as the + part of overdrive+ if you will! The STRANGLE uses a resonant filter for a subtle cocked wah thing and RAW removes this filter turning it into a full range boost.

Specifications

  • Power: Use a center-negative 9 volt DC power supply. Do not supply more than 9 volts. Current draw: ~30mA

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Grey. Light. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own..
