American Overdrive - A Tone Guide
With the American Overdrive we wanted to create the most versatile overdrive on the planet - a pedal that can work as a fat boost, a dynamic overdrive and powerful "tube-tone" style distortion effect. Please take time to listen to the soundfiles below to see the powerful effect the American Overdrive can have on your tone.

Fat Boost
Low gain setting provides a powerful boost whilst fattening your mid-range slightly and greatly increasing presence. This setting works best with tube amps, although solid state amps can benefit also:

Dynamic Overdrive
At medium gain settings, the American Overdrive really shines: it allows for the detail and dynamics in your playing to shine through. Push the strings hard to get some grind, and play lightly to keep things clean.

Higher Gain / Distortion
At higher gain settings the American Overdrive adds its own distortion to the mix, become a bit more of a rocker, and is a great choice for both single coil and humbucker equipped guitars that need a hot, dirty, grinding texan sound.
