If you enjoyed the Pettyjohn Petty Drive but found the decked out pedal a bit overwhelming, then you’ll love the Pettyjohn Electronics Iron Overdrive. The Iron Overdrive essentially contains the left side of the Petty Drive, streamlining the pedal into a smaller chassis that isn’t limited by its size.
Pettyjohn Iron Overdrive
Comprised of audiophile-grade components, the Iron Overdrive offers enough voices that you can substitute all of those drive pedals on your board with this one overdrive, Pettyjohn says. A level, drive, tone and mix knob, along with a switch for a three-way low cut and another with three clipping options, are all you need to dirty up your tone with a little bit of warm color, or flesh out a full-throated roar.
While a mix knob is a bit unusual for a drive pedal, you’ll love the addition. Dialing up the mix will heat up your tone, and pulling it back will give you a little more brightness. The MOSFET, LED or asymmetrical silicon clipping diodes offer options for switching up your voicings. And you can power the Pettyjohn Iron Overdrive with 9v, 18v, or 36v, too. Talk about versatility.
The Pettyjohn Electronics Iron Overdrive is available exclusively on Reverb this week, through Friday, so make sure you check it out now.
