Clarksdale Overdrive

There are some overdrives that truly deserve to be called “legendary”…

Clarksdale Overdrive

At the crossroads of Highway 61 and Junction 49 lies the official crossroads of Clarksdale, Mississippi – the birthplace of the Delta Blues. This historic town, and the famous music that was created there, is responsible for the inspiration behind this pedal – The Clarksdale Overdrive.

Blues and non-blues guitar players have used TS type circuits for years to help them create their personal signature sound. Over the years, countless players have been asking Brian to create that world famous vintage mid-range overdrive – well he finally did it!

The Clarksdale is our take on that world famous lime green overdrive many of us have come to love – with a few great Wampler styled improvements of course. The world of boutique pedals is filled with lots of great clones of that already famous circuit– so what else could be done? We wanted to create a pedal that would be true to the sound and feel of the original but would have a wider range of tonal options – to satisfy even the biggest tone chasers out there. The addition of a 3 band EQ (Bass, Mids are active, and the Treble is similar to the classic TS tone pot) it allows a player to have a more tailored tonal pallet than the original. The Lift/Smooth switch will also allow a player to either sit in the mix with the Smooth setting or allow your leads to standout with the Lift option. Also unlike the original “green giant” the Clarksdale will not “fizz out” as much at low or high gain settings.

The Clarksdale has one foot in the past and one foot firmly planted in the future. Your search for the perfect vintage midrange infused overdrive is finally over.

Screaming Tubes

We all love a good ‘screamer… we love the way they make our amps… ermmm… scream. Taking some of the very best screamers Brian could get his hands on, he made the perfect one that brings all the goodness and removes all the nasty hiss.

Complete Control

A regular tone control (treble) and an active bass and mids control gives you the ultimate screamer. You can sculpt your tone like never before, especially when you start to experiment with the 2 different voice controls on the Clarksdale.

Not another clone

J.A.T.S…. or not. This is not just another screamer. There is no fizz at the top of the gain, no weakness at the bottom, total control of your EQ and 2 clipping voicing’s to give you the ultimate ‘screamer.

  1. Brett

    Similar to the Tumnus Deluxe, this is not a mere clone. It’s definitely a TS, but also does its own thing. The EQ is very useful to tune things for specific guitars/amps/other pedals.

  2. Miles Margritz

    I honestly bought this looking to fill the shoes of another TS even though I know it’s not a direct clone. It blew me away! Because of the 3-band-EQ you can get classic tones out of it but you get get so much more too! There isn’t a bad tone in the pedal! Love it it’s a lifer for sure!!!
