Description

Unleash the raw power of your guitar's tone with the Cusack Music Scream Overdrive. This pedal is a staple for musicians seeking to infuse their sound with rich overdrive that doesn't overpower the natural color of their instrument. Crafted with precision, the Scream Overdrive is designed to enhance your performance, whether you're on stage or in the studio. The pedal features an innovative asymmetrical clipping circuit, which provides a smoother, more natural-sounding overdrive compared to traditional symmetrical designs. This unique approach allows for greater dynamics and expressive playing, making it a favorite among guitarists who demand versatility and nuance.

The Scream Overdrive is equipped with user-friendly controls for Gain, Tone, and Level, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities from subtle warmth to full-blown, crunchy distortion. The pedal's true bypass switching ensures your tone remains pristine when the effect is disengaged, while the durable construction promises reliability through countless gigs and rehearsals. Ideal for both beginners and seasoned pros, this pedal empowers you to shape your sound with precision and creativity.

Key Features:

  • Asymmetrical clipping circuit for natural overdrive
  • True bypass switching for unaltered tone
  • Gain, Tone, and Level controls for versatile sound shaping
  • Rugged construction for durability
  • Designed for electric guitars, suitable for a variety of music styles

Sorry it’s a tad blurry! The new pedals are the 3 at the bottom right. The Louder, Scream, and Scruzz are the “always on” versions of the More Louder, Screamer, and Screamer Fuzz.

At the bottom is the Pedal Board Tamer which adds true bypass and noiseless switching.

The big white pedal is the old Route 66 in the metal chassis. Sounds better than the newer Visual Sound stuff, IMO.

And the big black thing is a Line 6 M9. I use it for most mod and delay effects, with the Tap a Whirl and DD5 filling in the gaps.

Lastly, this is the first time in 11 years I’ve done a show without a Fulldrive 2 overdrive. That’s how highly I think of the new Cusack distortions!
