There is probably no guitar effect more widely used than overdrive. The sound of an overdrive pedal emulating a driven tube amp is one of the most ubiquitous effects around, and it is also one of the most difficult to get right. Enter the TC Electronic El Mocambo Overdrive. This pedal will beef up your tone and give you that highly coveted fat mid-range “oomph” that will cut right through the mix when your band is going hard. The gritty mid-range honk produced by this unit will give you an authentic vintage driven tone that is great for melodic blues solos, reminiscent of the great blues masters. However it is equally comfortable in a hard rock or metal setting as a lead boost on top of an already overdriven sound. The simple 3 knob interface makes it easy to find your voice quickly, and true bybass means your original signal will never be compromised. Like all TC Electronic units, the El Mocambo Overdrive comes in a road tough "built like a tank" chassis. Features : Vintage and authentic sounding overdrive pedal Shape the scream of your tube drive with the 3-knob interface Classic blues rock tones that conjure up the great masters of the genre True bypass for ultimate signal integrity “Built-like-a-tank” metal chassis Runs on 9 V battery or the PSU-SB DC power supply (not included)
