OVERDRIVE- Beetronics OVERHIVE OD ....a weird gimmick or a creative sound that simply breaks the mold???


 Beetronics 

$230.00 USD

  OVERHIVE    Overdrive 

So what have we here? a Plexi ...maybe it's a JCM800 ...no not that. Ah....I see now. It is one of the very rare and hard to find .... Whatchamacallits.
All though my bass player things it just might be a 'Thingy'

In the early days of the OD...pedal manufacturers made
Fuzz boxes. A Fuzz...was...well...it was a Fuzz...so when the first OD's came along the same applied. Although the use of the new FET transistors could make a distortion that resembled tubes no one thought more then to tinker with the parts and to simply come up with what they thought sounded cool.
They hoped others did too. So what could be more appropriate for a company that makes Fuzz boxes...weird and wonderful Fuzz boxes then to try their hand at an OD.

Handmade ...no 2 pedals are exactly alike. sold direct.



So if nothing else it is unique. Not so weird as to just be a novelty. But in creative hands some good things could be written for it.
