Tech 21 OMG Richie Kotzen Signature Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

Tech 21 OMG Richie Kotzen Signature Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal - Analog Overdrive

Tech 21 effects are designed using the best spec components, full-metal construction and a whole lot of coffee. The result is a line of effects that are inspiring and eminently usable. Unlike many ‘one-trick’ pedals, each Tech 21 effect is feature-rich and loaded with great tones for you to explore. They also feature professional details, like high impedance inputs and low impedance outputs for signal integrity, our smooth, custom actuators for silent switching, and touring-tough construction.

Richie Kotzen Signature Overdrive
Not simply a pedal with his name slapped on it, the Richie Kotzen Signature OMG pedal was an intense collaborative effort. Richie, who has ears like a bat, was characteristically meticulous about every detail. It took many prototypes to get the OMG pedal to sound --and feel-- the way Richie wanted it. Named not only after one of his songs, “OMG” is a perpetual exclamation whenever one hears Richie play.

The all-analog OMG has a unique, slightly asymmetrical distortion that emulates single power tube Class A amplifiers, but with a tighter, quicker and snappier response. It is designed to articulate every nuance of Richie’s dizzying playing style.

Controls:

• TONE - Specialized voicing for adjusting the high-end and mid-range. At max, it’s flat. As you reduce the setting, it decreases the high-end without losing mids or getting muddy.
• GIRTH - Custom designed active mid-range control for compatibility with tube amp tone stacks. Cut or boost from 12 o’clock.
• DRIVE - Adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the output section of a tube amp is being pushed. Highly interactive with the level of your guitar. For instance, you can clean up the amount of distortion by decreasing the guitar’s volume (except in very extreme settings) without having to change the setting on the pedal. Conversely, you can increase the amount of distortion by simply increasing the guitar’s volume.
• BOOST - Kicks in up to 28dB of pre-amp gain when the OMG is engaged. This wide range facilitates feedback and sustain. Activated via its own footswitch, you can also use Boost independently from the effect for a clean boost.
