The MACHINE HEAD reproduces the legendary tone of Ritchie Blackmore around 1972. Albums like “Fireball”, “Machine Head” and “Made In Japan” are still the reference for the ultimate Strat sound. Every experienced player knows how difficult it is to achieve such a sound with a Strat. But beware: The MACHINE HEAD is NOT a TREBLE BOOSTER! You could rather call it a “Ritchie in a Box”. It is connected directly in front of a clean amplifier. The pedal reacts like a good tube amp and it’s possible to control the overdrive from the guitar. Without any loss of treble or dynamics. The MACHINE HEAD can even replace a complete tube amp, that’s how good the response and dynamics are. Some of my customers and myself play it directly into an IR loader and then into a monitor! Convince yourself! It’s never been easier to sound like Ritchie Blackmore!

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.
