Trace Elliot® introduces the Trace Elliot Overdrive pedal. Overdrive is by far the most popular category of pedals on the market - and for good reason. With just a simple twist of a knob or push of a button, the colors and character of a player’s tone can completely change leading to endless inspiration and fun. But there is an obstacle for bass players. The lower notes on a bass guitar can often get muddy and lose definition. Thus, extra care needs to be taken in the circuitry and features. Trace Elliot believes they have solved the problem.
As a pioneer in bass amp innovation, Trace Elliot aims to set the standard in all bass overdrive pedals to follow. With true bypass operation, this pedal offers classic full range overdrive specific for bass guitar. The proprietary high overhead soft asymmetrical clipping circuit really contributes to the pedals overall performance creating that vintage, tube-like drive. The pedal has four knobs to help players dial in their tone. The DRIVE controls the amount of overdrive on the signal. The LEVEL control dictates the overall output volume of the pedal. The TONE control is a basic EQ helping players define their overall tone and the BLEND control allows players to mix the clean and overdrive signal. This pedal is also equipped with an internal transformer to give more headroom to the signal ensuring better quality of tone- especially on those lower frequencies.
Alongside the traditional ¼” input and outputs is a separate DRY OUT that helps this pedal standout amongst other overdrives. By offering the player a separate DRY OUT, the player can send the dirty signal to a separate amp while sending the dry signal to either front of house or an effects chain for maximum flexibility in tone. As with all things Trace Elliot, the pedal is built for long lasting durability and performance.
