October 30, 2023 · 2 sources

Pedal Pawn has released the BluesPrint, a dual channel overdrive pedal, Delicious Audio reported on October 30, 2023¹. The UK builder describes side 1 as a Tube Screamer-style circuit and side 2 as a Blues Breaker-style circuit²¹.

Each channel has its own footswitch and independent Volume, Drive and Tone knobs, according to Delicious Audio¹. Pedal Pawn lists an internal A-B / B-A order switch, true bypass switching, a standard 9V power input and handcrafting in the UK². Delicious Audio describes the order switch as an internal DIP switch and calls its placement "probably less than ideal"¹.

Pedal Pawn says side 1 came from access to a 1983 Screamer once owned by a Texas player, and that the unit had more clarity than is typical for a "green" style circuit². Delicious Audio reports the builder promises authentic Stevie Ray Vaughan tone on the first channel through access to a unit "probably used during the mythical El Mocambo performance"¹. Pedal Pawn describes side 2 as "reverse-engineered to 'break' the original blues code"².

Delicious Audio puts the price at "approaching $400 USD"¹. Pedal Pawn says high demand means up to 4-6 weeks for dispatch from the order date, and offers free worldwide shipping with import duties and taxes the customer's responsibility². The product page showed 43 reviews².
