Overdrive Clipper - Dumbly Tube Pedal
The OVERDRIVE CLIPPER is a dual 12AX7 tube pedal preamplifier (amp in a box) designed to mimic classic Dumbly tones. It is not a copy or clone, but rather a completely re-thought and re-designed circuit, intended to surpass the original. The COLOR control provides equalization identical to rock mode at noon, while duplicating Robben Ford settings when minimized. A LIFT switch pulls this control out of circuit, providing a 10dB boost in gain. The DRIVE control adjusts gain to compensate for various pickups (single-coil, humbucker). The CLIP switch enables the high-gain section, which utilizes my all-tube symmetric clipper circuit, offering up what I believe to be superior performance. This is followed by another tilt TONE control and output LEVEL.
This pedal is ideally employed as a preamplifier feeding a power amplifier directly via effects loops return. It can also be used as a regular pedal, but try to keep tone controls on amplifier as close to flat as possible, or engage LIFT switch.

Testimonials
- "So after a few months using this thing, it is by far my most favorite preamp ever. All i can say is super wow. This thing is just so awesome."
- "Got the pedal today, really delivers a unique D-sound."
- "WOW! Out with the neural cortex (as a backup to my fender deluxe), in with the overdrive special (and a seymour duncan little foot pedal power amp with 1 celestion 12 cabinet) as my main rig, and the fender deluxe stays in the car as the backup. I absolutely love this thing. I have been waiting for it for 30 years. Sounds so warm."
