The Cranked Sound of a '69 Plexi

The Analog Alien Bucket Seat overdrive pedal is a great tool to get cranked British amp tones from any amp. Taken from the drive section of Analog Alien's popular Rumble Seat pedal, the Bucket Seat is their first single effect unit. Aimed at nailing the tone of a '69 Plexi, this pedal can go from a clear, clean tone to harmonically rich distortion with a twist of a knob. And its 100% analog circuitry ensures the pedal is amazingly touch sensitive. The Bucket Seat overdrive adds that iconic rock tone to your rig.

Unmistakable tones of a '69 Plexi

There are very few guitar tones as identifiable as a cranked British amp, especially those from the late '60s. Now you can have that sound with this high-quality overdrive pedal. Like the amplifier, use of the pedal couldn't be easier. Just crank up the three knobs to your desired sound and go. So whether you're looking for a highly driven tone or just want to enjoy the clarity and sensitivity of these amps without the deafening volume, the Bucket Seat gives it to you.

Go from clean to scream

Much like a Plexi amplifier, the controls of the Bucket Seat allow you to get a wide variety of tonal shades. By keeping the gain control low, you have a clean tone that enhances your guitar's natural voice. When you crank the knob up, you'll bathe in all the harmonic grind these amps are so famous for. And you'll have total control of your sound with the controls on your guitar. Back off the volume, and this pedal cleans right up. Close your eyes, and it will be hard to believe all of this is coming from a single pedal.

Completely analog circuitry

Analog Alien is all about tonal purity. All of their designs are inspired by the top-quality gear they use in their Cloud 9 Recording studios. So when they engineered the Bucket Seat, keeping a straightforward, analog circuit was a top priority. Just as in a great vintage amp, this allows you to be able to control the tone and gain of your signal by the way you play your guitar. And the true-bypass switch keeps your signal's integrity, even with the pedal switched off. Sweetwater guitarists can't get enough of this pedal.

Fantastic Overdrive!

This is the overdrive I've been searching for for a while. It sounds great. Turning the pedal on with the overdrive all the way down lends just a touch of flavor to your sound, and it just gets better from there. A fully useable sweep on the drive knob, and you can get just what you need from the tone. I would give this 10 stars if I could.
Rated 5/5

Amazing analog pedal!

This is a fantastic little overdrive box, with a super sweet tone and just enough distortion to satisfy pretty much anybody. They make a more expensive unit that also comes with a reverb and delay, but for our purposes at our home studio, this stripped down version was more than enough. This is a very well-made stomp box, and we were able to really dial in the correct gain levels for our needs.

Amazing!

Makes my Fender Blues Junior sound full blown Plexi! Best overdrive pedal I have ever played.
Rated 5/5

Love this pedal!!!

Loud. Great OD pedal. I have 6 gain & OD pedals, this one is staying on my board. The others will be sold. Don't pass this one up. I'm playing thru a Vox as30c2
Rated 4/5

Great Pedal!

I've been searching for a pedal that will give my Bad Cat Cub a little more of a Plexi tone for some of the songs I play and this pedal didn't disappoint. Right out of the box I had a tone dialed in in about 5 minutes and have left it that way ever since. I don't know why more people don't have this pedal. It;s really good! Get one. You won't be sorry.
