Description
SILENT BEE OVERDRIVE — ANCHOR
The Anchor is for the ones who can't leave well enough alone. The ones who read the schematic. The ones who have an opinion about op-amps.
Same handbuilt Blues Breaker-inspired circuit as the Core — now housed in a striking raw aluminum trapezoid 1590TRPB enclosure that immediately stands out on any pedalboard. Top-mounted jacks. Feather-light footswitch. Blue LED.
The knobs are Davies-manufactured — the same knobs used on the original Klon Centaur. If you know, you know.
And because we built this for the obsessive — the IC is socketed. The diodes are socketed. Swap op-amps. Try different clipping combinations. Tune it to your rig without picking up a soldering iron.
