The BL800 is an amplifier overdrive pedal using tube technology, selected high-voltage components, dynamics through high-voltage technology and an uncompromising analogue signal path. The BL 800 delivers a clearly defined, tight sound with lots of attack.

In addition, there is a playing dynamic reaction to the potentiometer of the guitar that only good tube amplifiers can achieve. The gain reserves surpass the good old JCM800, especially when you switch on the boost. Without activated boost, the BL 800 is an exact sound copy of the JCM 800 with a little more gain, with activated boost there is a decent extra boost of gain.

Controls

Gain, bass, middle, treble, volume, plus a gain boost. Five controls are enough to perfectly match the BL800 to an amplifier. This is achieved by an active 3-band tone control that covers all sound nuances. The boost adds another kick of gain without changing the actual sound of the BL 800.

Key Features

  • Simulate a Tube Amplifier – AVTC – Analog Virtual Tube Circuit: This is a newly developed assembly of FETs and other components that exactly simulate a tube.
  • Copy the Sound of the JCM800 – Exact sound copy of the legendary JCM800 with more gain!

Specifications

  • Internal supply voltage 280V regulated
  • Power supply BL 800: 9V DC / 250mA

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

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.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
