Maxon OSD-9 Overdrive Soft Distortion

Give your sound a Brit accent with Barber’s Direct Drive Compact British, a pedal that takes all the best sounds of the Direct Drive, the Direct Drive Low Gain, and the DIrect Drive Super Sport into a single, compact stompbox. From early kt66-powered compact combos to the scooped mids and aggressively nasty sound of an EL34, you can coax a myriad of down and dirty vintage British voices out of the Direct Drive Compact British.

Love that classic overdriven tube sound but can’t quite fit it into your pedal budget? The Behringer TO800 Vintage Tube-Sound Overdrive is here to the rescue. Featuring original 4558 dual op-amps and MA150 distortion diodes for that authentic vintage screaming tube sound and dedicated Drive, Tone, and Level controls for getting the exact sound you’re looking for, the TO800 gives you all the smooth sustain and fat tone you need minus the bank-breaking price tag.

The MM Silver from budget guitar effects manufacturer Ammoon is much like the Mosky Audio TM overdrive: a clone of the popular Timmy drive stomp by Paul Cochrane. Unlike the TM, however, Mosky put all of the control knobs on the face of the MM. You get easy access to dedicated Gain, Volume, Bass, and Treble control dials without having to open the MM’s enclosure. Tone-wise, the MM Silver serves up a transparent overdrive that doesn’t overwhelm your core tone.
