A couple months ago, we got our first taste of the new pedal lineup from Teisco, a classic musical company that’s been recently revived. Their Distortion pedal was pretty incredible, and we were looking forward to what was next. Today, we’ve got their Overdrive pedal for you, a simple but crunchy, punchy low-mid gain boost with no frills and a lot of drive under the hood.
Control-wise, there’s nothing too crazy about the Overdrive. Level sets your volume output, while Gain controls the amount of crunch present. The 2-knob EQ, consisting of Treble and Bass controls, is always welcome, as it lets you sculpt your tone much more than a single Tone knob would. And for an extra little bit of oomph, there’s the Kick toggle, which boosts the overdriven sound up a couple of notches into mid-gain territory.
From clean boost to slightly driven amp sounds to beautiful, vintage overdrive, there’s a wonderful range to explore here with the Teisco Overdrive. No frills, but lots of thrills, this pedal falls into the transparent type of drive category, while remaining harmonically rich and dynamic. The premium zinc housing is bright and heavy duty, too, ensuring a long life on any pedalboard or in any rig. Thanks to Teisco once again for letting us check this one out – more to come from them soon, in the meantime don’t forget to peruse our demo video and subscribe on YouTube. Cheers, and stay safe!
