Transparent, Organic-sounding Overdrive

Trying to coax bluesy overdrive out of your amp at reasonable volume levels isn’t easy. Unless you have a J. Rockett Audio Designs Blue Note Overdrive, that is. This pedal gives you transparent, organic-sounding grind, with more gain than you’d expect from a blues-style overdrive. And if you really want to take it over the top, flip the Hot switch to its upright position and infuse your playing with more gain, more volume, and truckloads of juicy mids. Besides supplying you with a great woodsy blues tone, the Blue Note Overdrive also makes a great dirty boost for your favorite high-gain amp. Chock-full of feel and dynamics, the Blue Note Overdrive is a top-flight dirt pedal.

Dial in a killer blues tone with straightforward controls

The J. RAD Blue Note Overdrive enables you to achieve bluesy drive at any volume level. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that operating it is sheer simplicity, thanks to its straightforward 4-knob layout. The Volume knob controls its output level. Gain controls the amount of distortion produced. Tone adjusts the pedal’s highs and smoothness. Fat is a subtle low-end trim — go from humbuckers to single-coils without missing a beat. You also get a Hot switch that adds more gain, bite, and midrange push to your tone. One thing’s for certain: the Blue Note Overdrive is a surefire way to add character to an otherwise dull-sounding amp. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
