David Allen Pickups Announces the Bazooka Overdrive Pedal

David Allen Pickups Announces the Bazooka Overdrive Pedal

A low to medium gain overdrive with very responsive dynamics and brownface Fender-type sag.

San Bruno, CA (January 15, 2015) -- The Bazooka Overdrive Pedal from David Allen Pickups is a low to medium gain overdrive with very responsive dynamics and brownface Fender-type sag and midrange while pushing into Marshall territory. The gain structure is chewy with a great tube rectifier sag. It pushes not just the mids but the highs and lows as well so it has a wide tonal influence that gives you smooth buttery mids without loss of the highs.

  • Controls: Elevation = Volume, Chatter = Gain, Range = Tone
  • Load switch: Fat ā€“ Normal ā€“Ā Lard. The three-way switch in the middle position will have the OD at its brightest setting, as you move left you add more Mids and to the right adds mids and lows while retaining highs.
  • Through-hole component board
  • True bybass
  • 9v DC negative tip power supply or battery
  • Socketed OpAmp

MAP: $225

With the E Street Band, heā€™s served as musical consigliere to Bruce Springsteen for most of his musical life. And although he stands next to the Boss onstage, guitar in hand, heā€™s remained mostly quiet about his work as a playerā€”until now.

Iā€™m stuck in Stevie Van Zandtā€™s elevator, and the New York City Fire Department has been summoned. Itā€™s early March, and I am trapped on the top floor of a six-story office building in Greenwich Village. On the other side of this intransigent door is Van Zandtā€™s recording studio, his guitars, amps, and other instruments, his Wicked Cool Records offices, and his man cave. The latter is filled with so much day-glo baby boomer memorabilia that itā€™s like being dropped into a Milton Glaser-themed fantasy landā€”a bright, candy-colored chandelier swings into the room from the skylight.
