As a veteran Nashville AAA session musician, the Shawn Tubbs Tilt Overdrive is the tonal culmination of his lifetime in music. Shawn not only needed a practical tone tool to give him the right sound quickly in any musical context, but he aimed to combine the greatest vintage amp tones and recorded guitar sounds of all time into one ideal device. Now that tone is available to you in a compact 9V double pedal, with a unique and game-changing Tilt Boost circuit.
“Our goal from day one was to develop the exact tone in my head. I’ve been on so many different gigs that I know exactly what I need to perform. Cutting through the mix with the right mids, great feel that cleans up with your hands and the volume knob, a killer boost to kick in and just make everything sound better. We had to combine that practicality with realizing my dream tone I’ve always wanted. Every time I’ve played an incredible vintage amp I’d get so inspired and then think about how to tweak it to suit my playing style. That’s what went into this pedal. It’s all my favourite tones combined into one simple box. What we stumbled on along the way though was just how expressive this pedal is. I remember hearing killer blues players in the studio testing the final prototype or even metal cats in the Revv ’shop checking it out, and everyone sounded so unique. Like the best version of their own personal style. If you want to have my tone, well here it is in this pedal. But what’s most important is that I think this pedal might help you sound like yourself.” -Shawn Tubbs
