In general, this pedal has seemed a bit more raw than a standard overdrive pedal. I personally find this fourth knob really handy because it allows you to have a great Americana juxtaposition between a dirty, heavily-driven sound and a clean, folk-like sound. The difference between the two versions is that the 4-knob contains a clean control in addition to the drive, level and tone controls. They’ve had this pedal before but just recently released a four-knob version. For that, we have the aptly-named Americana pedal from DMB. In today’s music industry, it’s important to have an American sound. There’s nothing more satisfying than a simple song with open-chord accompaniment.
Lately, I’ve really been into the country/folk rock sound.
Here, I’ll talk about the newly revamped Americana pedal as well as DMB’s staple, Stellar Drive. They’ve released The Bumble, Foxy Pirate, Lexi and Americana. This year they have revamped some of my favorite DMB pedals and have even come out with a couple brand new models. While I myself am not an electric guitar player (I play bass in rock settings and acoustic guitar in singer/songwriter settings), I respect every bit of what DMB has done. While there are many pedal providers (some big, some small), I went with DMB Pedals this week for one simple reason: I’ve used their pedals and trust their construction. For this week’s tech article, I’m going to pick one of the many stomp box brands out there and review a couple of their products.
Many players are constantly trolling through music stores looking for that next great used pedal, sometimes spending hundreds of dollars a pop. I know guitar players out there who own pedal boards that are worth more than their guitars or amps.
