Hello, Effects Fans!
Today we announce our new Tres Hombres overdrive module. The Tres Hombres compares to the Hermida / Love Pedal Dover Drive. Is it possible to capture the tone of Eric Johnson, Billy Gibbons, and David Gilmour in a single box as they intended? Well, maybe. It would have to be a pretty big box to hold all three of those guys and their gear, since that's what it would take. But all three of those players, and many others, share a common element. They build around that smooth, ripping, fuzzy, overdrive sound that is instantly recognizable. It should be no surprise to find out that this circuit is essentially two effects, a Fuzz Face circuit stacked into a Zendrive overdrive circuit. Those artists have been known to do almost exactly that, varying the exact overdrive portion a bit. It works out well and really does capture that core tone. The Dover Drive leaves out some of the controls you might expect to find in a Fuzz Face running into some overdrive circuit. We offer those missing controls as options to give you much more control over the gain and tone in the circuit. The original is a bit of a one-trick pony by design, but it is a really good trick that doesn't wear thin. With the extra controls, there are more options to change it up a bit. The extra controls aren't necessary, but to paraphrase Mae West, too much of a good thing can be wonderful.
