VS Audio’s new Blackbird overdrive combines two distinct tones reminiscent of two classic Fender amp types in one compact pedal. Both Blackface and Brownface voicings are available here, giving you an amp-in-a-box overdrive that has enough variability to keep you occupied!
The BlackBird was specially designed and voiced for players seeking a pedal that's responsive to pick dynamics. Placing the BlackBird further down your chain reveals its ability to function like a true preamp. Used in this manner, the BlackBird can give your other drives a glassy BlackBird or a spongy Brownface touch!
Featuring an all-analog signal path, the BlackBird can be run at 9V or 18V for more headroom.
If you fancy vintage American amp tones but don’t fancy lugging them around town, the VS Audio Blackbird might be the perfect pedal for you!
