The Overdrive Supreme excels at everything it does. From crystal clear and
detailed clean sounds to its harmonically complex and articulate overdrive, the
amp holds its sonic integrity at any volume level. If you've ever heard Larry
Carlton or Robben
Ford live, that's the tone! "The Overdrive Supreme nails the Dumble
sound to a tee, and then some!" (20th Century Guitar).
Approaching its tenth year of production, the Overdrive Supreme has received
glowing reviews in BOTH domestic and foreign publications. We recently received
a very favorable review in Japan's "Guitar Magazine," as well as Guitar Player
Magazine (February 2005). The Overdrive Supreme is available in power ranges
from 20 through 150 watts. Available in heads or 112, 210 or 212 combos. The ODs
features a full time effects loop which can handle both line and pedal level
signals. It can be run in series or parallel modes, and remains live, whether
used as a line out (to drive a mixer or sound system) or a line in (for guitar
synth,
keyboard, drum machine, etc.). A spacious Accutronics
3-spring long decay reverb
pan is used for a natural warm, yet detailed reverb.
The clean channel has brite and
deep switches, as well as a rock/jazz switch, which changes the way the tone
controls operate. Rock is a more aggressive and punchy bright tone, which jazz
is lean and audiophile-like, being more balanced and smooth. There are passive
high mid and low controls. The high control pulls for a mid boost, the mid
control pulls for gain boost (which bypasses the tone controls). The clean
channel acts as a preamp to the overdrive channel, and the tone controls and
EQ switches
are all active during overdrive use, including all boosts.
The overdrive channel features separate OD in and OD out controls. OD-in sets
the level of saturation in overdrive, while the OD out control sets the final
balance between clean and dirty channels. There is a global master volume,
master reverb
and accent control, which adds presence and edge to the output stage
The entire audio signal path is fully tube (except reverb).
The ODS® features a
regulated high voltage DC supply for lowest noise, consistent tone despite line
voltage variations, and also features regulated DC preamp tube heaters for
additional noise reduction. These techniques are used in the finest audiophile
and tube studio equipment, and are unique to guitar amps.
The output stage features separate 4 and 8 ohm outputs, AC and standby
switches, as well as a detachable IEC power
cord and external fuse. The chassis is made of aircraft grade aluminum, finished
in gold iridite
for corrosion protection. We use a combination of point to point and circuit
board construction. All tubes are chassis mounted, while the power and output
transformers are mounted directly to the chassis. By using single point
grounding, the amp is quiet and free of hum at all operating
levels.
