Custom Overdrive Pedal
Jonathan Humrichouser is shown holding the new custom overdrive pedal he built for me.
It’s essentially a tubescreamer (TS808) with the Keeley modification and a true-bypass switch. Tell me that’s not cool. I should be receiving it shortly, maybe as soon as this weekend. I can’t wait to try it. Last year I heard the overdrive he built for himself, which prompted me to ask for one. He said that this one sounds even better. He tells me that its “so transparent and awesome.”
You can’t tell very well, but it’s green and black (I am so traditional). I’ll try to get a proper digital photo or two when I get it in my sweaty mitts.
Jonathan is a recent Full Sail grad and a fine musician to boot, playing guitars, bass, loops, and drums. If you liked Forester or Automatic or a recent lineup of the Jake Randall Band, you know a little of his work already. Except that he’s better than you think he is.
I hear he’s considering making pedals for other people as a kind of self-paying hobby and possibly a part-time vocation. His big love right now is studio work. Hopefully that doesn’t mean he *wont* be playing.
