Mercy Seat Tree of Life Overdrive

Product Description

A
great overdrive is, in our opinion, the first and most important tool on
the guitarist’s pedal board. The ability to push a tube amp over the
edge with just a bit of grit or rip into an open E chord and let that
harmonically rich overdrive ring through your ear-holes brings a smile
to even the most jaded sound guy.





Once upon a time there was a Tube Screamer. Then there were thousands
of variants. Tube Screamers and their variants are well known for touch
sensitivity and amazing tone. The Tree of Life Overdrive takes this
circuit a step further adding various tonal “improvements” (tone is
always in the ear of the beholder) courtesy of the absolute BEST
capacitor values chosen to get the maximum use of this incredible
circuit.


The Tree of Life was created to be a low to mid-gain drive. That
beautiful tone is courtesy of the infamous JRC4558 chip. The addition of
the “shimmer” control lets you dial in the high end without that
annoying “pierce” and let’s you use or lose the TS mid-hump. Some people
have said that the Tree of Life can sound like a cranked up Vox… you be
the judge. We just think it sounds awesome.


Controls include Volume, Gain, Tone Cut and Shimmer.
