BJF Series | OverDrive Pedal
Features
When selecting among the various few thousand permutations of classic
overdrive pedals, it can be overwhelming to select the correct one to suit
your needs.
For those who are seeking something with a bit more classic 70s rock flavor,
our new MARIGOLD ORANGE OVERDRIVE might just be what the doctor ordered.
Inspired by the tones that rang out form classic boxes of that era, the
Marigold brings a newer taste to the overcrowded overdrive table.
For those who are not trying to recreate the classic “Strat and a TS style
overdrive” type sounds, and perhaps use higher output pickups and want less of
a midrange haziness, it might be time to get in the MOODn (MARIGOLD ORANGE
OVERDRIVE)
A full frequency response with no bass cut. This is the kind of overdrive that
enables one to provide a more streamlined distortion to feed an already
distorting amp and help focus and tune it eectively to cut through the mix.
Less honk, less complicated overtones that rob your sound of power, and the
ability to alter the midrange content with a simple “Flat/Mids” switch.
Think classic rock tones with the swagger and the slice to bring your licks
out front.
Bjorn’s take:
With the Marigold Orange, perhaps my focus was on the overdrives of the late
70′ s. Back in the days of the late 70′ s, I bought an overdrive that was
really “boss” (lol) because my local guitar hero used one.
I had it for years and it worked fine with the higher output pickups such as
the P-90′ s I was using – this was really through the asymmetric clipping
because it made sure to clip the transients.
Not like a TS style overdrive where transients above 600mV just pass clean and
dry. Later I modified my overdrive pedal so it had an extra stage with some eq
that when used made the pedal sound more like a distortion unit – then the
quite heavy bass cut of that pedal mattered less.
The story of Marigold starts here. I’ d look at the best qualities in an
overdrive of classic late 70′ s style I’ d like to have, such as soft clipping
that would allow the transients of humbuckers and seemingly full frequency
response with no audible bass cut – this is done with staircase filter that
allows seemingly see-though bass.
Back in the late 70′ s, overdrives were made to allow overdriving already
distorted amplifiers into more streamlined distortion and these overdrives
were more eective than boosters because they were increasing distortion mainly
in the midrange as opposed to all frequencies. This got rid of mushy bass and
sticking highs and a whole lot of complicating overtones in the midrange cause
by the bass distorting. This is why overdrives swiftly caught on.
The MARIGOLD ORANGE OVERDRIVE carries on this tradition albeit with a less
honky response; and that is also what makes Marigold useful on clean sounds
for more of an edge and a tone that doesn’ t appear to get smaller as you
engage it.
