VS Audio Blackbird - Overdrive

Description

The BlackBird Overdrive, a pedal that succeeds in generating blackface/brownface-style drive and works as a flexible tone-sculpting platform.

There are lots of amp-in-a-box-style pedals and while some are great, many are less dynamic-nailing one particular type of tone well, but failing flat when you deviate from that path. In this regard, the BlackBird is very different. It nails in an unbelievable way black & brownface tones, from almost clean & light to quite gainy overdrive with natural compression. Specially designed and thoughtfully voiced for those who seek a responsive to pick dynamics with tone clarity overdrive in a pedalboard friendly size.

• Placing the BlackBird further down your effects chain reveals its ability to function like a true preamp, giving other overdrives and dirt boxes a glassy blackface or a spongy brownface touch.
• All-analogue electronics audio signal path.
• Authentic vintage amp tones voiced after the Brownface/Blackface amps.
• Powerful tone-shaping Post-Drive EQ.
• High input impedance.
• Centre-negative, 9V or 18V for maximum headroom.
• Silent switching.
• Designed and built in Greece.
