Custom Guitar Effects Pedals

Distortion pedals, as the name implies, simply alter the sound of a guitar. There are a countless examples of guitar effects pedals available in today’s market. Originally, the goal was to emulate the warm sound of an overdriven vacuum tube amplifier. From that beginning, other designs have targeted genres from hard rock to metal and blues to grunge.

One of the earliest examples of the use of a guitar effects pedal is the opening riff to “Satisfaction” by the Rolling Stones. Since that time, many other guitar heros such as Jimmy Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and many others have used the distinct sounds created through the use of these pedals to create rock classics.

Austin Retro Overdrive

The Austin Retro Overdrive is based on the Tube Screamer TS-808 design. It uses the same JRC4558 op amp for that classic 'Screamer sound. However, there are a few changes to make it sound even better. Additional circuitry was added to produce even order harmonics, giving a smoother, more musical sound to the tone. A larger pot is used to provide a wider range of overdrive control. To give more low end volume, the frequency response was changed. Finally, true bypass switching ensures that your tone isn't altered when the unit is switched off.
