Overdrive

StinkBug
We wanted to make a great ‘classic’ overdrive, that have the best of whats out there, but keeps the body and character of the guitar intact. We worked really hard on getting the mids to respond well, and the highs and lows to be right for blues rock and pop. We also chose a circuit that have a particularly nice warmth to it. The low and high controls gives a great control of the amount of mids in the pedal. Turn them both down, and the midrange comes out, but without being nasal. Turn them up, and the mids gets slightly scooped, still keeping the sound full and punchy.
This pedal works great for blues, pop and rock. It sings well and has great midrange respons.

Soundclip

The very first StinkBug prototype has made its way into its first recording session. The guitar used is a Blonde Fender Strat, with a Dimarzio Area61 in front and mid and a Dimarzio Chopper 184 in the bridge.

The intro part, is played with the neck pickup, the solo is mainly using the bridge pickup, except for at short riff in the latter part of the solo, where the guitarist, switches to the neck pickup and then back again to the bridge.

The guitar went straight through the Stinkbug into a clean 100 watt top, into a celestion vintage 30 12” speaker and was picked up by a SM57 and a ADK51S

The settings of the StinkBug, is as shown on the picture, all the way through including the solo. The rythm guitar is dry, the solo has a slight echo on the left.
