The use of overdrive/distortion effects to add character to a guitar's sound goes back a long time and takes many forms. The DigiTech Screamin Blues distortion guitar effect pedal was designed to honor this by achieving a wide array of guitar effects while giving the player the power to control every detail. Designed for more dynamic electric guitar players, this stomp box has a high and low tone mixer to control the feel. Strumming electric guitars lightly with low overdrive can add a subtle harmonics quality while cranking the overdrive up can add a complex, sustained tonal palette.Gain and output levels are controlled separately, unlike many pedals that use one knob, giving guitars a broader sonic range. There are two separate outputs on this device, with one being for amps and the other using Digitech's cabinet emulation. This can allow you to plug the pedal straight into a mixer board for recording without requiring an amp for power. A 9V alkaline dry battery with a continuous 18 hour life can give this pedal considerable playing duration when you're practicing or out on the road performing.The solid metal housing of the Screamin Blues can be durable enough to protect the engineered internals while being used in studio sessions or on stage. Measuring 4.2 inches long x 3 1/8 inches wide with a height of 2 1/8 inches, this compact pedal, which weighs in at less than 2 pounds, can pack more distortion than would seem possible with its portable size. A wide stomp pad can make it an easy single effect unit to switch back and forth with and not miss a note. When used with a lower setting for a subtle effect, the LED indicator light can let you know that it's enriching your playing. With its dynamic range and four adjustment knobs, this pedal is capable of a large, deep array of overall tonal characters, all powering in at 4.8 watts.Specially designed with blues in mind, cleaner sounding strings can come alive with rich harmonies by adding just a little fuzz. However, if your next gig is for a grungier rock band with more of a raw quality, this Screamin Blues stomp box can still work wonders. The high and low EQ adjustments can allow you to emphasize deep, soulful blues tones or piercing high notes for standout solos. With a broad selection of in depth note characteristics available from this device, it can be like having several accessories packed into one stomp box.Having been a dependable name in guitar components for decades, Digitech takes pride in their quality products, and it shows. Whatever the type of music you are wanting to play, when it comes to overdrive, the Screamin Blues can have it covered. The blue housing can reflect both the focus of its engineering and design and a unique style that can effortlessly suit multiple musical genres. Even if you play in different types of bands, or if your tastes change throughout the years, this stomp box can adapt.
