RJM MUSIC OVERTURE PROGRAMMABLE OVERDRIVE
 |
| $400.00 USD |
The most redeeming feature is it is that it is an analog OD.
Now I have never found an OD even with 2 different OD is the same box that could had more than perhaps 6 sounds that I found usable.
RJM is known for a fairly wide choice of impressive pedal switchers. This is their only pedal. To read the copy of the OD on their site I felt like they were not describing a pedal but a damn switcher.
The layout has a Pre Boost, Gain, Volume, Bass and Treble. Rather ordinary. Not even a mid control. You get a selection of voicings. Crunch, Smooth, Versatile, Clean boost, Classic and Boutique. A button to store 8 presets and the usual foot switches.
CONCLUSION
On the plus side there is a basic medium to high gain punchy gourmet style OD with a Marshall hidden in it somewhere.
That's about it? It is not like a digital Modeler where you would hit the 6 selections and get several distinct sounds. Like a Plexi, a Deluxe a Vox AC30 etc. No you get 6 shades of grey???
What I heard was a very good fat OD with boost. It has a basic sweet spot at mid gain and backed off still sounds good. You get a nice bite with the boost kicked in.
So what you really get is an excellent $225.00 USD OD with another $200.00 USD worth of bull!!! So throw out the programing crap put it in a smaller box ...drop the price in half and I will order one.
Very disappointing as it does sound damn good.
