The Shnobel Tone Frank Simes Overdrive was profiled by Delicious Audio on June 14, 2022. The page describes it as a collaboration between Shnobel Tone and guitarist, songwriter, composer and record producer Frank Simes, and as a derivative of Shnobel Tone's own Daily Driver pedal1.
The pedal uses a three-knob volume, tone and gain layout1. Delicious Audio describes it as having "a transparent and open sound that reacts to your playing dynamics and can go from a slight break up to a fully open cranked tube amp sound"1. It runs on standard center negative 9V power with a 100mA draw1. Retail is $2491.
A separate listing on Premier Guitar gives further specifications and a suggested retail price and MAP of $2492. That listing names the pedal the Frank Simes Signature Overdrive by Shnobel Tone and describes its range as "everything from mild, wonderfully organic overdrive to medium-gain crunch with a richly satisfying midrange kick"2. Its features, as listed there:
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Controls | Volume, Gain, Tone |
| Footswitch | True bypass |
| Jacks | Top mounted power and in/out |
| Construction | Hand-built with through-hole components |
| Enclosure | Crinkle-coated diecast aluminum, 4.7 x 3.7 inches |
| Power | Standard 9V center negative, no battery compartment |
Delicious Audio also reports a 30 day money back return policy on the pedal1. Premier Guitar notes that Simes, based in Hollywood, has worked with Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Warren Zevon, Rod Stewart, Roger Waters, Roger Daltrey and Martha Davis of The Motels, and was musical director for The Who for many years2.
