BlackBox Overdrive 1

The BlackBox Overdrive 1 by Snouse is a meticulously designed overdrive pedal with a range of features and functionalities. Here are the technical specifications and details:

- The BlackBox Overdrive 1 is a hand-wired, 100% analog, natural tube- emulating overdrive, clean boost, and tone enhancement tool.
- It features a proprietary, completely transparent tube-emulating variable and switchable JFET pre-gain clean boost control to push the pedal into high gear or to squeeze more volume or fatness out of the front end.
- The pedal offers three switchable circuit modes: Standard (Hi-Gain), Classic (Lo-Gain), and Clean Boost.
- External controls include Gain, Tone, Volume, Presence, and pre-gain Boost knobs, along with internal Bright/Smooth Voicing and Mode switches, providing a wide spectrum of both clean and overdrive tones from a single box.
- The pedal is extremely dynamic and vocal, with a touch of compression and amp-on-the-edge feel in Overdrive Modes, allowing for clean signal when playing softly and a hot tube growl when digging in.
- It features a Bright/Smooth Voicing switch and can be switched to Classic Mode to convert the entire circuit into that of the simple 3-knob BlackBox Overdrive Classic, with increased output volume.
- The BlackBox Overdrive 1 is carefully and beautifully hand-wired in the USA, using top-quality components such as Alpha potentiometers, Neutrik jacks, Xicon metal-film resistors, Nichicon electrolytics, and Panasonic ECQ/WIMA poly-film capacitors.
- The pedal also includes military-grade 24 AWG stranded wire for durability, Davies-style molded cream-colored knobs, and a top-quality US-manufactured matte-black, gold-plated PCB.
- It is powered by a standard regulated power supply up to 18V and features true-bypass switching for complete bypass transparency.
- The BlackBox Overdrive 1 is 100% handmade, hand-drilled, and hand-wired in Denver, CO, with a socketed op-amp, bright blue LED, and can be powered by Boss-style 9-18VDC regulated power supply.
