Favorettis Pedals Favorettis Yellow Cab Overdrive

What it does

The Yellow Cab Overdrive is an overdrive pedal: it adds drive and saturation to a guitar signal in the way players use that term, as a boost of grit rather than the heavier clipping of a distortion pedal. Favorettis Pedals is a small builder in Brazil, and the pedal reached a wider audience mainly through coverage on review sites¹.

That review describes the Yellow Cab as an extremely unique pedal, an overdrive from Favorettis Pedals in Brazil. Players comparing it with the familiar overdrive standards can see how the type is usually judged in the Boss SD-1 vs Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer comparison¹.
