The Pride And Joy Of Overdrive

It spits out warm amp-like drive tones and just adds that lovely touch of mid-presence that’ll make you cut through a mix like nobody’s business. But… and this is a good but, it does all of this without ever compromising the natural timbre and sound of your instrument, leaving you with an overdriven sound that’s as dynamic and articulate as your own playing style.

The idea behind the StinkBug was to create the ultimate “classic” overdrive pedal. Something that beautifully distills the best parts of a vintage drive pedal, while alleviating common issues like overbearing mids and nasal, fizzy tones on higher gain settings. Hence a lot of work was put into getting the mids and gain structure just right, all while keeping the body and character of your instrument completely intact. The Low and High EQ dials give you a ton of different tones on tap. Turn them both down and the midrange comes out, but without being nasal. Turn them up and the mids gets slightly scooped, while still keeping the sound full and punchy. Oh and then there’s the gain! Oooooh boy, it’s warm, smooth but with that sweet harmonic tube-like crunch that we all know and love. Just picture the bluesy bite and dynamic drive tones of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton and John Mayer and you know what you’re getting yourself into with the StinkBug.

So if you’re into blues, pop, rock or just filthy-good tones in general, then this is definitely the drive you’re looking for!
