An extremely touch sensitive overdrive pedal
Royal Blue Overdrive offers a wide range of tones from light overdrive into distortion and at lowest Distortion knob setting works as an EQ. It can also be used to create tube amp-like crunchy āstrike hard for distortionā effect. There is not much filtering on the overdrive, to provide a transparent tone that you can tailor with both the Treble and Bass controls.
Like the best boutique amps, the Royal Blue OD lets you determine the amount of breakup by how hard you strike the strings with your pick, and/or by adjusting the volume knob on your guitar. The Royal Blue can add this level of expressiveness to any clean or slightly overdriven amplifier.
Description
The Royal Blue Overdrive features four highly interactive controls: Volume, Drive, Treble and Bass. Although it works much like a regular overdrive pedal, the way the drive control responds is more akin to a distortion pedal in that it can vastly change the tone of the pick attack. With the drive in extreme settings, the pick attack starts to sound squished and aggressive when picking hard, while at lower settings the pick attack becomes more articulate and clear. The bass and treble controls can be used as a neat way of cutting high and low end, or they can be used together as a mid cut or boost.

CONTROLS
- VOLUME: Sets the overall output level of the pedal.
- DISTORTION: controls distortion, for most dynamic response set where the amount of distortion is controllable with picking force.
- TREBLE: A boost/cut āshelvingā type equalizer that controls the amount of high-end, operating where the Presence control is on most amplifiers. Treble can be used to add shimmer to even bright amplifiers without interfering with a typical treble boost of most amplifiers.
- BASS: A boost/cut shelving type equalizer that controls the low end, just above resonance of a standard 4Ć12 cabinet. With both Bass and Treble turned up, you can get a scooped heavy tone; turn the knobs down for soft mid-boost tone.
- For Midboost: set Treble and Bass fully CCW.
- For Midcut: set Treble and Bass fully CW.
- Current draw: 3.5mA at 9V DC
- Input impedance: 140K
- Output impedance: 25K
- Voltage range: 7.5-12Vās
