Are you still beating a path to tonal enlightenment? Looking for that perfect effects pedal to enhance your tone, without the loss of quality? Relax - you're home.

You've no doubt heard of Tonerider on your musical travels (if not, have you been living under a rock?!) - they specialise in giving you professional tone without busting your bank - and they've done it again!
Taking their 'Boutique Features and tone without the Boutique price' ethos, and applying it to their range of effects pedals, Tonerider pedals have been designed in conjunction with Texan tone guru Brad Ferguson. and are packed with features normally only seen on the highest price "boutique" effects. Your Tonerider effects pedal will deliver professional tone at prices that you, the working musician can afford. All Tonerider pedals feature full true-bypass switching, custom made potentiometers, rugged input and output jacks, and our unique high-grip rubber base - and like all the best hand-made effects, all components are mounted "off-board" for years of use and, if required, easy replacement.

This Tonerider American Overdrive pedal is probablythe most versatile overdrive pedal you'll find on the planet - a pedal that can work as a fat boost, a dynamic American overdrive and powerful "tube-tone" style distortion effect. A couple of  tweaks and you can easily dial in:

Fat Boost
At a Low gain the Tonerider American Overdrive provides a powerful boost whilst fattening your mid-range slightly and greatly increasing presence. This setting works best with tube amps, although solid state amps can benefit also.

- LowGain1.mp3        - LowGain2.mp3

Dynamic Overdrive
At medium gain settings, the Tonerider American Overdrive really shines: it allows for the detail and dynamics in your playing to shine through. Push the strings hard to get some grind, and play lightly to keep things clean.

- MediumGain1.mp3         - MediumGain2.mp3

Higher Gain / Distortion
At higher gain settings the Tonerider American Overdrive adds its own distortion to the mix, become a bit more of a rocker, and is a great choice for both single coil and humbucker equipped guitars that need a hot, dirty, grinding texan sound.

- HighGain1.mp3        - HighGain2.mp3
