On the Three Kings tour, Bonamassa is using a stripped down setup with this custom pedal (modelled after the Way Huge Green Rhino) made as a joke by Jeorge Tripps. It's meant to emulate a Dumble Overdrive Special amplifier.
According to his Instagram he also said, "Thank you @way.huge.electronics for making these reverse color ( black with silver fonts instead of silver with black fonts) Overrated Specials for the fall tour.. They sound awesome! @jtripps".
The MXR Custom Shop Joe Bonamassa Pelham Blue FET Driver comes in a limited run of only 300 and is exclusively sold on the official Joe Bonamassa store. This limited edition signature pedal captures the rich, creamy sound of an over driven tube amplifier by cascading an op-amp gain stage into a FET stage. The Joe Bonamassa Pelham Blue FET Driver features a unique circuit design. Step on the FET Driver to thicken up your lead tone with musical, amp-like distortion and sustain without the fragility and inconsistency associated with tubes. The FET Driver features true bypass switching and comes in a heavy duty metal housing that's ready for the road.
"This pedal glued the loose ends of my rig together," Joe says. "It's very focused and very fat, and it cuts through without being too bright. That's a hard sound to achieve."
Each purchase of the MXR Custom Shop Signature Joe Bonamassa Pelham Blue FET Driver comes with a free T-shirt.
