Van Weelden Royal Overdrive V2

Features

Van Weelden Royal Overdrive V2

Never before has a solid state overdrive pedal been so close in capturing the sound and dynamic behaviour of real tube amplifier circuits. Generally guitar players are musically inspired by the sound of well-designed tube amplifiers in terms of richness in harmonics, articulating, touch responsive, compression but still powerful tone and not altering the unique characteristics of your guitar. The Royal Overdrive features a combination of all these key tube sound aspects. Like good wine designing a new circuit takes some time to “age” (to become mature). That is why it took Van Weelden 4 years to complete this unit for you. The Royal Overdrive offers a wide range of overdrive tones for any style using either passive pickups (humbucking, single coil) or active pickups. Furthermore it features a more complete tone shaping network with individual tone controls. This architecture makes the Royal Overdrive a more complete preamp that has versatility to be combined with any guitar amplifier beyond that of the more classic Overdrive pedals.
