The ÁMBAR – Dual Overdrive is based on the legendary Klon and TS10 circuits, we have redesigned key aspects to provide you with more versatility and a wider range of tones, all while preserving the essence of the originals. Additionally, you can stack them in either order (TS10>Klon or Klon>TS10), all within a compact, pedalboard-friendly size. The ÁMBAR offers a multitude of tones in a single pedal, including THAT iconic sound we all know and love…
The amber side of the ÁMBAR pedal is based on the Klon Centaur circuit, but we’ve made some key refinements. One key addition is the BASS potentiometer, allowing you to adjust the bass frequencies for better adaptability with different guitars and setups. This control is particularly useful since the Klon can sometimes be too deep with some gear when used as a boost or too weak when set to distort. For stock Klon tones, just keep the BASS pot centered at 12:00.
When used as a booster, the amber side delivers a classic fat tone with tons of headroom and output. Turning the gain past 12:00 results in a powerful, hard rock overdrive tone.
Of course, it retains all the iconic features of a Klon-style circuit, including Soviet NOS germanium diodes, a charge pump chip that increases the internal voltage from 9V to 18V, and a dual gain pot that splits and controls the clean and dirty signals.
The green side is inspired by the TS10 circuit, redesigned to offer greater versatility while maintaining the essence of the original TS10. We’ve added a dedicated PRESENCE pot and a STOCK/OPEN switch.
The PRESENCE pot allows you to choose which frequencies are clipped, giving you control over treble, midrange, or bass emphasis. The STOCK/OPEN switch toggles between the traditional TS frequency-cut sound and a more open, less cut tone. For classic TS10 stock tones, keep the PRESENCE pot at 12:00 and the STOCK/OPEN switch in the STOCK (down) position. This setting provides the signature midrange tone of all the TS pedals, with the specific velvety touch of the TS10 model. Switching to the OPEN (up) position reduces the bass and treble cut, offering a more open and natural sound.
