Barber Direct Drive Overdrive Pedal

Originally Uploaded 2008 The Barber Direct Drive Overdrive pedal is an original design from Barber Electronics. The Direct Drive offers exceptional clarity and dynamic response with unrivalled string separation and harmonic response. Ranging from light bluesy overdrive to balls out Marshall type gain, the Barber Direct Drive gives you tones that are both modern and vintage. The Tone knob features a push/pull switch that engages a Fat Harmonics voice. This takes your drive to a new level, allowing a modern edge to be had from the Direct Drive. Additional Bass and Presence internal trimmers allow you to further tailor your sound.

The Barber Direct Drive overdrive definitely delivers the goods. This hand built pedal barely breaks the hundred dollar mark in price but sounds like a much more expensive "boutique" overdrive unit. Even at the highest gain settings, complex chords just melt into a puddle of rich harmonics and the volume knob lets you back off for sparkling clean goodness. The Fat Harmonics switch takes you to the next level with rich, creamy sounding overdrive that stays clear and sweet, but screams like a banshee. For "boutique" quality and tone on a musician's budget, the Barber Direct Drive overdrive pedal is for you. It sounds better than almost every overdrive pedal on the market.
