Plutonium Overdrive
This pedal boldly revisits the legendary Big Muff circuit to offer a new sound palette, specially designed for guitarists and bassists who love powerful, modern sounds. With its fuzz character transformed into overdrive, it delivers a deep bass sound typical of progressive metal, while remaining versatile thanks to its innovative Crush control. Whether you're sculpting massive rhythmic textures or bringing out incisive solos, the Plutonium Overdrive stands out with its unique personality.
A reinvented legacy
Inspired by the legendary Big Muff circuit, the Plutonium Overdrive doesn't just reproduce a classic sound?it modernizes it. By accentuating the bass register while deepening the mids, it delivers a sound that is ideal for the heavy, complex riffs of progressive metal and modern styles. Its rich, textured saturation maintains the necessary depth without muddying the definition of the notes.
Versatility thanks to Crush control
The Crush knob is at the heart of this pedal's flexibility. It allows you to boost the mids to cut through the mix or adapt the response to a wider variety of styles, from stoner rock to more experimental sounds. This adjustment adds an extra dimension that makes it much more versatile than a simple clone of a classic fuzz or overdrive.
Expressive and intuitive controls
The Plutonium Overdrive provides musicians with a complete set of controls: Level to adjust the output volume, Blend to balance between clean and overdriven signals, Saturation to set the intensity of the overdrive, as well as Bass and Treble controls for simple but effective EQ. Each parameter acts musically, offering great precision for sculpting your sound.
Reliability and pedalboard integration
Designed to be robust and practical, the Plutonium Overdrive features a relay-based true bypass, ensuring a pure signal when the effect is disabled. Its silent footswitch makes it smooth to use on stage, and the power-on activation switch makes it easy to integrate into complex pedalboards.
