About Distortion, Overdrive, Boost, and Fuzz Pedals
Since the dawn of rock ‘n’ roll, guitarists have been looking for ways to crank up their amps and push the limits of volume and distortion. These methods included cranking the amp’s volume to achieve a never-before-heard signal breakup. For example, Eric Clapton famously cranked the volume of his Marshall Bluesbreaker to achieve his iconic guitar tone during his tenure with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. Nowadays, guitarists and musicians have it a little easier with a plethora of pedals to choose from, which can be as simple as boosting the guitar signal to more complex distortion and fuzz tones with multiband EQs and other effects. Whatever you are looking for, Sweetwater has it! We carry a wide selection of boost, overdrive, distortion, and fuzz pedals from all the top brands. We can’t forget to mention that we also carry Sweetwater-exclusive color schemes for you pedal collectors out there.
Boost Pedals
Boost pedals are compact devices designed to elevate the signal strength of your guitar, adding clarity and dynamics to your sound. A guitarist can utilize this pedal in a variety of different ways. One of its most common uses is pushing the front end of a tube amp to get rich, distorted harmonics. You can stack a boost pedal with an overdrive or distortion pedal to create a unique dirt tone, and you can also increase the boost pedal’s signal volume for leads and other key moments in a song. Boost pedals are commonly found on the pedalboards of blues, rock, and country guitarists, but don’t let that stop you from adding a boost pedal to your board if you don’t play those three genres. Grab your next boost pedal today at Sweetwater!
Overdrive Pedals
The next step up in the dirt-pedal world is an overdrive pedal. Overdrive pedals are designed to emulate the sound and feel of an overdriven tube amplifier. This effect gives the guitarist clarity, a signal boost, rich and saturated tones, and, typically, an EQ boost in the mids or high end. With adjustable gain settings, tone-shaping controls, and the ability to respond dynamically to playing dynamics, overdrive pedals provide a versatile solution for adding grit and character to your tone, making them essential for crafting a wide range of expressive musical styles. Don’t miss out on Sweetwater’s wide selection of overdrive pedals!
Distortion Pedals
Looking to beef up your pedalboard and add head-turning and ear-perking effects? Look no further than a distortion pedal! A distortion pedal is the powerhouse of the guitarist’s arsenal, unleashing a raw and aggressive sonic palette. These compact devices transform your guitar signal into a heavily saturated, edgy tone ideal for genres like metal, punk, and hard rock. Legendary guitarists, such as Billy Corgan, Kurt Cobain, Jim Root, and many others, have utilized all sorts of different distortion pedals to achieve their sounds. Cobain was famous for using the iconic BOSS DS-1 on Nirvana’s Nevermind.
Fuzz Pedals
Last but certainly not least is the hard-hitting fuzz pedal. The fuzz effect is the most extreme saturation pedal available, giving your guitar tone a massive EQ and volume boost that pulverizes the other dirt pedals listed above. These pedals produce thick, fuzzy tones ranging from warm and vintage to chaotic and aggressive. With controls to tweak sustain, tone, and fuzz intensity, these pedals offer a playground for sonic experimentation, delivering a unique and expressive experience for guitarists.
