Vs Audio effects introduces the BlackBird Overdrive - a pedal that succeeds in generating blackface/brownface-style drive and works as a flexible tone-sculpting platform.

There are a lot of amp-in-a-box-style pedals and while some are great, many are less dynamic - only nailing one particular type of tone well, falling flat when you deviate from that path.

This is what sets BlackBird apart.  It nails in an unbelievable way black & brownface tones, from almost clean & light to quite gainy overdrive with natural compression. Specially designed and thoughtfully voiced for those who seek a responsive to pick dynamics with tone clarity overdrive in a pedalboard friendly size.
Placing the BlackBird further down your effects chain reveals its ability to function like a true preamp, giving other overdrives and dirt boxes a glassy blackface or a spongy brownface touch.

BlackBird offers the following features:

• Three knobs to control Volume, Drive, Tone.
• Era toggle switch to choose between Blackface ’65 or Brownface ’63 style sounds.
• Gain toggle switch to carefully choose compression and select the amount of rive.
• 9-18VDC supply operation for maximum headroom.
• Parallel mode relay switching (True Bypass)
