Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive

Serving up classic overdrive crunch in four distinct flavors, the Big Joe B-404 Vintage Tube II guitar effects pedal is a dynamic analog overdrive box that should prove indispensable to the serious blues guitarist. Breaking away from Big Joe’s iconic three-knob controls, the four-way Character rotary switch lets you cycle through four distinctly-voiced tube amp profiles while the Presence knob allows you to sculpt and shape your tone even further. The Big Joe B-404 Vintage Tube II features true bypass switching.

Give your sound a Brit accent with Barber’s Direct Drive Compact British, a pedal that takes all the best sounds of the Direct Drive, the Direct Drive Low Gain, and the DIrect Drive Super Sport into a single, compact stompbox. From early kt66-powered compact combos to the scooped mids and aggressively nasty sound of an EL34, you can coax a myriad of down and dirty vintage British voices out of the Direct Drive Compact British.

The Mini Screamer is budget guitar effects pedal manufacturer Ammoon’s take on the ever-popular TS9 Tube Screamer drive pedal by Ibanez. It replicates the Tube Screamer’s signature hot tube valve-style overdrive and is also powered by a highly prized JRC4558 chip (it’s the D model with the eight-pin DIP, if you’re into that sort of thing) that provides the crunch for a very large number of popular overdrive stomps. The Mini Screamer’s small size makes it ideal for compact or crowded pedalboards.
