Five Watt World and Barber Electronics have teamed up again to deliver a pedal with tremendous versatility. One pedal that can be your best clean boost, and your favourite treble booster, that sublime tone conditioner and, yeah, that stand-alone overdrive at number 1 on your “top 3 ever” list.

Key Features

  • Harmonically Shape Your Tone – The tone control never mutes your highs as you turn it down, it simple lowers the gain of the pedal while uncovering deeper and deeper bass, conversely, as you turn the tone control up your signal gets tighter, the gain increases and the magnificent top end is revealed.
  • Simple Layout – The Plus has two 3-way toggles which elevate your workflow to the point where you can reliably sculp your tone without the slightest worry of submenu drama.
  • Expertly Handmade – This pedal has real honest solder lugs for jacks, a true-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior of the pedal to always ensure maximum quality.

Reactive Controls

The Plus has two 3-way toggles which elevate your workflow. Here we have set up an output filter control, and a bass enhancement system to complement the tone control. Each of these switches operates as “out of the circuit” (OOC), engaged, and then strongest.

The bass enhancement toggle gives you full control of the low end, you can easily balance the Plus EQ to cover treble boost, classic boost, vintage overdrive, and larger than life modern boutique with amp-like textures. The output filter toggle puts you in charge of the silhouette of the top end, anything from rude and surly, to smooth and refined, and again, this power and versatility comes with effortless workflow. We built a better system so you can realize the best from the guitars and amps you already own.

The Story of the Five Watt World Plus Boost Overdrive

Barber Electronics started with one part vintage overdrive, and the classic op-amp overdrive that started it all, the venerable OD1. The DNA of the OD1 exists in nearly all op-amp overdrive pedals since 1977, often being at the heart of $700+ boutique pedals with year long wait lists. But Barber Electronics did not want to make a clone, that would miss the point, and the OD1 was truly a one trick pony, although it was a great trick.

David Barber had ghost-built one of the greatest OD1 based overdrive pedals for a well known boutique brand, the one players in the know referred to as “Klon Killer”, and with Keith from Five Watt World phoning up David Barber to talk about dream pedal ideas, this collaboration was born!

The Plus builds on the relationship between Barber Electronics and Five Watt World. Barber Electronics needed to fully realize the potential of a magic little circuit that was born in 1977. They wanted 4 primary functions this time, and each had to be truly top notch.

Handmade, Hand-Soldered

The Five Watt World Plus Boost has real honest solder lugs for jacks, a true-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior. The Five Watt World Plus Boost pedal has a generous 2 1/2” of clearance between the front edge of the footswitch and the back edge of the knobs, no fear about accidentally changing your settings with each click of your footswitch.

EQ

While Ed Sheeran primarily relies on the natural sound of his acoustic guitar and vocals, he occasionally uses EQ (Equalization) to shape and enhance his tone during live performances or in the studio. EQ pedals or onboard preamps can allow him to adjust the frequency response of his guitar signal to suit the acoustics of different venues or to achieve specific tonal characteristics. Here’s how EQ might be utilized in Ed Sheeran’s setup:

1. **Tonal Shaping**: EQ can be used to adjust the balance of frequencies in the guitar signal, allowing Ed Sheeran to shape his tone to his liking. For example, he might boost the midrange frequencies to bring out the warmth and presence of his acoustic guitar, or cut certain frequencies to reduce any harshness or mud in the sound.

2. **Feedback Control**: In a live setting, EQ can help control feedback by notching out problematic frequencies that might cause the guitar signal to feed back through the amplification system. This can be particularly useful when performing in venues with challenging acoustics or high volume levels.

3. **Room Correction**: In situations where the venue’s acoustics are less than ideal, EQ can be used to compensate for any deficiencies in the sound. By adjusting the EQ settings, Ed Sheeran can tailor the guitar tone to sound more balanced and natural, regardless of the room’s acoustic properties.

4. **Matching Gear**: EQ can also be used to match the tone of Ed Sheeran’s guitar to the sound of other instruments or equipment in his setup. For example, he might adjust the EQ to complement the tonal characteristics of his vocal microphone or to blend seamlessly with backing tracks or other instruments.

Overall, while EQ may not be a central component of Ed Sheeran’s guitar effects setup, it can still play a valuable role in shaping his tone and ensuring that he achieves the desired sound in different performance environments. Whether used subtly for tonal shaping or more aggressively for feedback control, EQ allows Ed Sheeran to tailor his guitar tone to suit his musical vision and performance needs.

Guitar Pedals

Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone.

These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all.

Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.

New

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.
