With help from Earthling Designs, we pushed the gain of this High Shredroom Edition of the Sick As Overdrive almost past sensibility. The sweep of the gain control has been narrowed for usability meaning it does not go completely clean anymore, but that's not really what this pedal is for. The mid-range focus has been narrowed to open up the top and bottom end, making it more articulate and aggressive.

Sick As - Limited Edition High Shredroom

What started as a revision to our Del Mar Overdrive, quickly took on a whole new character - something altogether unique. A pedal that was more than worthy in its own right. Introducing ‘Breakers Overdrive’ by Bondi Effects.

‘Breakers’ was inspired from our namesake, Bondi Beach. 'Bondi’ is aboriginal for “the sound of waves breaking on the rocks”.

While we could try to impress you with fancy cliches like "natural and amp-like", or "rich, focused, smooth overdrive", or maybe something really obscene like "transparent and organic” - and while we do feel the Breakers Overdrive is all of these things - we’d rather let you decide for yourself

Breakers Overdrive

Sick As Overdrive

At its core, the Squish As features a best-in-class Blackmer® Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) and True RMS Detector. Optical and JFET compressors are popular for their musical character; however, this character often comes with increased distortion, limited dynamic range, and a somewhat unpredictable transfer function. The high-end VCA and True RMS Detector deliver natural, high-fidelity dynamics processing. Use it to make notes sound more consistent, tame peaks, and boost subtleties; or add depth to your tone with parallel compression by setting the Ratio high and rolling back the Blend control. The Squish As is the perfect always-on compressor.

Squish As

The Del Mar was conceived in an effort to add a Tubescreamer-style clipping stage to the Klon Centaur. I’ve always loved the clean half of the Centaur, but my favourite clipping stage has always been the articulate and detailed response of the Tubescreamer.

My engineering sensibilities at the time were perhaps somewhat naive, and my attempts to incorporate aspects of the Klon, Tubescreamer and Bluesbreaker actually resulted in something that is not exactly like any of them.

In retrospect, I think that engineering things in the “wrong" way resulted in an inadvertently unique result, which at this stage and with the benefit of hindsight, is something I’ve come to be very proud of.
