Overdrive 2, with the Level
at unity and Drive about
midnight, it feels right to
control things from the
volume knob and fingers.
Almost like a juiced-up JTM
45, Overdrive 2 responds to
fingerpicked arpeggios and
gives off a little grime-chime
with harder digs. Turning
up the volume of the guitar
to full whack and digging in
with a pick gives off a Pete
Townshend type of kerrang
best suited for Classic Rock.
This is when Overdrive 1 is
engaged with my favorite
666 setting—or just past
midnight on all the knobs.
Overdrive 2 like a sugar
cube on a wet tongue. To
satisfy my curiosity, I see
what Overdrive 1 has to
offer by itself pumped into
a real amp that is already
crunching on its own. Just
as I expected, this ain’t
grandpappy’s Screamer. It
can sing or string depending
on where the Tone control
is set and roar like a legato
lion with the extra gain
stage engaged. Killer.
comes to mind—“That’s the
Way of the World.” People
of all ethnicities take pride
in their work. The proof is in
the pudding.
