The Visual Sound Route 66 American Overdrive combines classic compression and overdrive together in one pedal!
The overdrive section is modeled after the sound of the original TS-808 Tubescreamer (using the JRC4558 chip)
and the compression channel can be set for fully 'squashed' sound or very subtle compression.
Features:
Overdrive and Compression on two separate channels with individual tone controls
Overdrive channel sounds like the original TS808 and even uses the JRC4558 op-amp
Unique overdrive bass boost switch
Compression channel can be set for fully squashed 'Nashville' sound or very subtle compression
Compressor also has an integrated pre-amp controlled by a Gain knob so you can get loads of clean gain without overdrive
The sound source is looped noise. First, just the compression channel is engaged and the SUSTAIN and TONE knobs are tweaked. Then the overdrive channel is engaged and the TONE knob is tweaked and the BASS BOOST is turned on.. then the compression channel is turned off and just the overdrive channel is heard.
