The Blues
A straightforward two-mode overdrive, moving from an always-on transparent light drive to a gnarlier raw drive tone.
About this pedal
The Blues is a simple, no-frills overdrive circuit with two voicings: a transparent, always-on light-drive mode and a gnarlier raw-drive mode. Released originally as an April Fools’ Day joke, it turned out to be a genuinely well-loved pedal that leans more toward drive than fuzz.
