Are you ready to give your amplifier a little push? Emerson Custom’s Paramount Overdrive is a medium gain pedal that’s ideal for classic overdrive tones or to pair with another pedal for a more dynamic hit.
This overdrive pedal will be your best friend both in live and in the studio; it acts as a versatile overdrive, from clean impulses to breaking tones. With it you will get an incredible variety of tones, simply pressing its 3 control knobs. The character of this pedal is refreshingly unique, but it adapts very well to the mix and has a sound you are familiar with.
Dynamic and responsive to the artist’s attack and subtle nuances, it can operate at 9-18v (18v for more free space). It has been hand-built in Bixby, Oklahoma (USA) using the best materials available to offer reliability and spectacular sound.
