This British Pedal Company Silverface is a surprisingly convincing Dumble-inspired overdrive. It's ideal for players seeking that classic late '70s blues and rock tone—think SRV—without the premium price tag of a vintage Dumble. The Depth control is a real standout, adding a dynamic edge that sets it apart.

- • Power supply not included; adds to the overall cost of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
