Description

This dual tone overdrive is designed to help you get the "most music from the least gear" and has Keith from five watt world's two favorite classic overdrive tones in a single compact pedal.

The B.U.S.S is derived from the circuits of the Burn Unit and the Direct Drive Super Sport. The "five watt world" edition uses these circuits to celebrate two historic tones; Eric Clapton's JTM-45 from the landmark "Beano" album, and those created by Alexander Dumble's Overdrive Special #39.

The left toggle: Switch to the left is the Super Sport mode, with a classic British and high-powered tweed sounds.

Switch to the right is Burn Unit mode. This is a louder and punchy setting that gives Dumble-like thickness to your bridge pickup (bucker or single coil) and can push a neck pickup to warm flute-like textures.

In addition there is a three way harmonics and dynamics switch that helps you adjust the pedal to match your guitar output and amplifier.

Get all these great tones in a single compact pedal...
