Overdrive Models OD-1 – 1977 The OD-1 is an overall bright and slightly high gain overdrive which doesn’t use the tone control. When selecting this mode the pedal inverts its signal just like the original and delivers a symmetrical clipping. The OD-1 is the ideal choice for boosting other drives and amps into singing saturation giving your tone a magical feel. TS-808 – 1979 The TS-808 is perfect for giving your sound that classic low gain with a signature pronounced mid-range. TS-9 – 1982 the TS-9 offers an almost identical tone quality as the TS-808 but provides a slightly more pushed low-mid range ideal for creating extra grunge and thunder. MSL Power or L Series – 1985 The MSL mode delivers an iconic metal tone which may not quite inspire the modern metal djent we think of. Selecting this mode with provide your tone with an incredibly high gain sound with an powerful low-end and an overall more gooey feeling than the other modes. TS-10 – 1986 The TS-10 mode embodies the very pedal made famous by John Mayer offering a slightly upgraded version for a more bluesy and crisp tone with excellent low-end roll off and low gain. Exar OD-1 1989 The Exar OD-1 is a TS-style overdriven pedal made in Poland offering a slightly different drive character with a little more gain than classic tubescreamers. This overdrive also offers a slightly more transparent feel providing a nice mix of overdriven and clean soundscapes. TS-7 (+mode) – 1999 The TS-7 mode provides a hot tone offering the highest gain sound the Bonsai offers. Designed with an incredibly amount of low-end and dirt fill out the TS-7 is the ideal choice for delivering killer tones and shredding licks. Keeley Mod Plus – 2002 The Keeley Mod Plus offers the classic mod Robert Keeley used to tighten up the original’s tone delivering an incredibly smooth mid-range and high-end with an increased bass response. JHS Strong Mod – 2008 The JHS Strong Mod mode delivers JHS’ own modification they’ve used since 2008 offering a more cleaner and overall more powerful sound than the other modes. The Strong Mod provides the pedal with a pronounced high-end with an incredible low-end drop off.

Guitar Effect Pedal
A guitar pedal, also known as an effects pedal, is a device used by guitarists to alter the sound of their instrument in various ways. These pedals are typically small, foot-operated units that are connected in a signal chain between the guitar and the amplifier. They can modify the guitar’s tone, pitch, and dynamics by applying different effects such as distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, and more. Guitar pedals come in both analog and digital formats, and they allow musicians to create a wide range of sounds, enhancing their musical expression and creativity. They are essential tools for guitarists in genres ranging from rock and blues to jazz and electronic music.

Overdrive
An overdrive pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal that simulates the sound of a vintage tube amplifier pushed into overdrive or distortion. It adds warmth, richness, and harmonic complexity to the guitar signal, creating a smooth, saturated tone that ranges from mild grit to full-on distortion. Here’s how overdrive pedals work and some common features:
1. **Gain**: The gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion applied to the guitar signal. Turning up the gain increases the intensity of the overdrive, while lowering it produces a cleaner, more transparent sound.
2. **Level**: The level control adjusts the output volume of the pedal. This allows you to match the volume level of the overdriven signal with your clean signal or boost the overall volume for solos or lead lines.
3. **Tone**: The tone control (sometimes labeled as “tone” or “EQ”) adjusts the frequency response of the overdriven signal. Turning it clockwise boosts the highs and cuts the lows, resulting in a brighter tone. Turning it counterclockwise boosts the lows and cuts the highs, producing a darker tone.
4. **Drive (or Distortion)**: Some overdrive pedals feature a separate drive control, which determines the intensity of the overdrive effect independently of the gain control. This allows for more fine-tuned control over the amount of saturation and distortion in the tone.
5. **True Bypass vs. Buffered Bypass**: Overdrive pedals may have either true bypass or buffered bypass circuits. True bypass preserves the guitar’s original tone when the pedal is turned off, while buffered bypass maintains signal integrity and prevents signal loss when the pedal is engaged.
6. **Voicing Options**: Some overdrive pedals offer voicing options or switchable modes that allow you to tailor the character of the overdrive to suit your playing style or musical genre. This may include options for different clipping diodes, EQ curves, or saturation levels.
7. **Stacking**: Overdrive pedals are often used in combination with other effects pedals, such as boost pedals, distortion pedals, or modulation effects. Stacking multiple overdrive pedals can create unique tonal textures and dynamic range, allowing for greater versatility and customization of your guitar tone.
Overdrive pedals are widely used in various music genres, including blues, rock, country, and jazz. Guitarists use them to add warmth, grit, and character to their tone, whether they’re playing rhythm parts, lead lines, or solos. An overdrive pedal is a staple on many pedalboards, offering classic tones and timeless appeal for guitarists of all levels and styles.
The Bonsai is our tribute to one of the greatest pedals ever created, the Tube Screamer A Simple rotary knob switches through nine classic, vintage, rare, or hard to find variations of the Screamer The Bonsai Does Not emulate these pedals, it is exact replications of these nine units all housed in one box Choosing a mode on the Bonsai rotary actually activates components specific to each unit
Mini toggle switch selects between chorus and Vibrato effects Three available waveform types (sine, square, and triangle) Intuitive controls for volume, EQ, speed, and depth Control the rate with the onboard speed knob or tap tempo footswitch Requires standard 9V DC negative power
Made in Kansas City USA This pedal represents years of Josh playing around with the legendary Tube Screamer circuit and wanting to offer those changes in an affordable package You will find more clean headroom, better usability as a boost, more versatile drive and tone controls as well as a more pleasing frequency response This may be the most well-balanced Tube Screamer on earth, but that’s for you to decide Runs on 9V DC negative center power and consumes 12mA
The JHS Overdrive Preamp is a faithful replication of the unobtainable V1 of DOD’s most loved pedal The Level control adjusts the overall output of the circuit and lets you cut or boost the signal. The level control of this version has been modified (corrected) from the original wiring of the #75 unit, giving this pedal much more volume on tap. The Gain control adjusts the amount of gain inside the overdrive circuit. Turning up “Gain” creates more clipping as it pushes the op-amp and hard clipping into overdrive. We’ve also added a slider switch to this production version, which wasn’t included with the original DOD 250. While researching the #75 “Big Box” pedal, I acquired a second early big-box unit which used a completely different clipping arrangement. It only seemed fair to offer this switch so that you could explore these two variations for yourself. This “Big Box V1” DOD 250 circuit definitely feels like a 250, but with a few changes: more gain/grit overall and more unique low/m… read more
The perfect solution when you need to send one signal to two outputs with the ability to choose either output (or both) on the fly Just plug in your instrument Cable (or patch Cable) into the input, then use the outputs to send signal to any combination of amplifiers, interfaces, mixing board, or anywhere else you want to send your signal Once hooked up, use the left footswitch to select between a and B channels When the led is Red, the a channel is engaged. When the led is Green, the B channel is engaged. Hit the right “Y” footswitch, and both channels are engaged for full stereo output Because the active a/B/Y has an output transformer on one of the outputs, there is no need for a ground lift as the transformer eliminates any hum
