Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver Pedal

Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver

The Death By Audio Interstellar Overdriver stands as a genuine overdrive pedal. It unleashes your guitar sound into your amp. It sounds like a classic tube amp from the 1950s. Built with discrete components, it is a triumph of transparent beauty – pushing an amp to its limit.

True Overdrive Pedal Design

This pedal is all about delivering the natural, wonderful sound of turning an amp up too loud. Its design focus is beautifully transparent and based around a discrete circuit. Specifically constructed to work the same way as old tube amps, it mirrors the behavior of vintage tube amps, delivering increasingly rich tones as you dial up the volume.
