Overview
An analog circuit built around a JRC integrated chip runs behind the Overdrive, Tone and Level controls of this mini overdrive. Made in Japan, it is narrow enough to save room on a crowded pedalboard.
The reason to buy is how little board space it takes while still offering overdrive, tone and level control. The limit is that bypass type, power supply and true dimensions are unclear in the listing.
Who it's for
A guitarist trimming a crowded board who still wants overdrive with tone and level controls. Buyers who need a stated bypass type or an included adapter should check other listings.
Pros and cons
- Overdrive, Tone and Level controls
- Made in Japan
- Two sets of dimensions conflict
- Bypass type not described
- Power supply not included
Performance notes
The listing describes the sound as warm and rich overdrive with adjustable tone. The three controls set the amount of drive, the tone shape and the output volume. The analog signal path and the named chip define the circuit character.
