STRAWBERRY RED OVERDRIVE 4K – “And the Legend was Born”
It’s been decades since the first effects pedal called an “Overdrive” was born. How many overdrive pedals have been made so far? And can a new overdrive be found that is not a recreation of one of the older designs?
Our new SROD4K does not imitate the sound of existing pedals. For those seeking unique sounds for their creative spirit, we bring to you the latest edition of our founder’s favorite overdrive pedal in the 4K (four knob) style mini enclosure, as well as a special limited art “Japonism” edition. While many pedals seek to “simulate” a style of amplifier, the SROD4K boldly goes forward into the new.
We have ensured that the SROD4K will work well with an extremely wide range of amplifiers – from small solid state practice amps to large tube amplifers with 4x12 cabinets. The most important thing to most players is to have a great dynamic sound that they are comfortable with, so that they can perform their best in various equipment situations. Björn Juhl has designed some of the world’s most desirable tube amplifiers and he has done his best to include as many of the characteristics of these “boutique” amplifiers as is possible. A great pedal can be your “secret weapon” to help get your sound and feel anywhere, anytime.
One of the most important features of the SROD4K is the single GAIN knob. This knob will take you from a low gain treble booster style of effect, up to low gain and medium gain overdrives before noon on the dial. Using the volume knob on your guitar (or your fingers/pick attack) you can easily control the gain level and dynamics. Where many pedals will turn into a “mush” unless played at full volume, the SROD4K behaves like a tube amplifier would and gives both the tone and feel players demand. Using the SROD4K into British-style amps will give the player the ability to further emphasize the characteristics of the amplifier without the entire tone turning to “mush”. You can even help dial in a high gain amplifier by judicious use of the GAIN and TREBLE/LOW knobs to further sculpt a wall of sound. If you happen to like playing a more American style combo amp, these are usually brighter sounding and harder to work with for overdrive pedals – but you can use the tone controls on the STRAWBERRY RED to balance the tone and create a singing, cohesive sound that is impossible to create on those style amps without some pedal assistance.
Many times, players will be using solid-state amps, as they are much more affordable and lighter to carry. The characteristics required for a high-quality amplifier remain the same whether they are constructed with tubes or solid-state components. However, the SROD4K can help bring out the best from any amplifier, regardless of the construction. If you have a high-wattage amp with a large speaker (such as a 12” model) the STRAWBERRY RED can help get a tone and feel similar to a large tube amp with a 4x12 speaker cabinet. While it is not an amp simulator pedal, the SROD4K can help “tame” even the stiffest and most unforgiving transistor amplifiers. The compression and dynamic character introduced into your sound from this pedal will delight your ears and your fingers.
The SROD4K’s TREBLE control is an active tone control that works in the mid to high range from -3db to +6db. When the TREBLE knob is lowered, the range between 70hz and 7khz is adjusted; and when the knob is raised, the range of 700hz to 7khz is lightly boosted. This allows what Björn calls the “luxury trebles” to be heard. It is the difference between painful or annoying high-end content, or a sound that makes sound engineers and music fans smile. No matter how you set the knob, it will give you a great tone that emphasizes the overtone components for a warm sound with great presence. This is one of the secrets of the high-end tube amplifiers. The LOW knob will cut and boost the low end to help adjust for the style of amplifiers that you may be plugged into.
We have always used the highest quality machined aluminum ultra-compact housings for our effects pedals, as well as industry-leading artwork and hardware. Even though the size is small, you can still power our pedals with a 9v battery if you desire. Also, if you wish to experiment with some more dynamic high-headroom tones, the power input can support 9v to 18v operation, which can give you a more “three-dimensional” characteristic to your sound.

STRAWBERRY RED OVERDRIVE Japonism Edition

Das One Control Strawberry Red ist ein flexibles Overdrive Pedal, das sich mit praktisch jedem denkbaren Verstärker kombinieren lässt und 'den' Overdrive-Sound bietet, den eigentlich alle Gitarristen suchen. Egal, ob man nach einem natürlichen, fast cleanen High-End Amp-Sound oder nach einem satten Break-Up Overdrive an der Grenze zur Distortion sucht - das klassische Overdrive von Bjorn Juhl ist die richtige Wahl! Das Strawberry Red OD reagiert extrem feinfühlig und dynamisch um die besten Eigenschaften des eigenen Equipments und jede Nuance im Spiel bestmöglich zu betonen. Über den vielseitigen Treble-Regler und den seitlichen Low Trim-Poti lässt sich der Sound präzise verändern und der Drive-Regler bietet ein breites Spektrum an möglichen Dirt-Styles. Lässt man den Drive-Regler auf dem Minimum und dreht den Volume-Regler voll auf, erzeugt das Pedal einen +6 dB Clean Boost. In Kombination mit einem Röhren-Verstärker betont das Pedal die positiven Eigenschaften des Amps und bietet einen traumhaften Drive-Sound. Egal, ob man bei britischen Verstärkern das Potential der Klangregelung erweitern möchte, bei amerikanischen Verstärkern nach einer kräftigen Verzerrung mit balancierten Regelmöglichkeiten für Tone und Level sucht oder moderne High-Gain Amps durch gezieltes Gain-Stacking in die Sättigung bringen will - das Strawberry Red OD macht überall eine gute Figur und hilft sogar dabei, einen natürlichen Röhren-Sound mit einem Transistor-Verstärker zu realisieren.

The One Control Strawberry Red is a versatile overdrive pedal that pairs with any amp and creates 'the' sought-after overdrive sound guitarists are looking for. Whether you are looking for a clean, high-end guitar amp-like sound or an edgy, highly distorted sound, this classic BJF overdrive pedal does it all. The Strawberry Red OD reacts highly responsive and highly dynamic to highlight the best of attributes of your equipment and every nuance of the played signal. The versatile Treble control and the Low trim potentiometer on the side allow a precise adjustment of the sound while the Drive control offers a wide range of possible dirt styles. If you keep the Drive at the minimum level and increase the Volume knob, it becomes a clean booster at +6 dB. If the Strawberry Red Overdrive is used with a tube amp, you can emphasize the benefit of the amp even further and attain the ultimate drive you're looking for. You can use the pedal with British style amps to expand the potential of the amp EQ, you can produce a powerful distortion with balanced Level and Tone controls with American amps, use it with modern high-gain amps for tight gain-stacking drive and distortion or the Strawberry Red will even help you to recreate that high quality tube amp tone when you use it with a transistor amp.

Minimal Series Board Junction Box

Delay Pedale gibt es in allen denkbaren Formen und Ausführungen, von extrem komplex bis zu extrem vereinfacht. Mit dem Sea Turquoise Delay schaffen es Bjorn Juhl und One Control die Regelmöglichkeiten des Pedals zu vereinfachen und gleichzeitig die Vielseitigkeit und Qualität des Effekts auf einem extrem hohen Level zu halten. Mit drei Reglern und einem Schaltern ist das Layout dabei denkbar einfach: Level kontrolliert die Ausgangslautstärke des Pedals, Delay verändert die Delay-Time von einem kurzen Doppel-Effekt bis zu 600 ms und Feedback bestimmt die Tiefe (Depth) des Echos. Über den Kill Dry-Schalter lässt sich das Original-Signal komplett muten - perfekt um das Pedal zum Beispiel in einem parallelen FX Loop oder als Effekt für die PA oder ein Mischpult zu nutzen. Das Sea Turquoise Delay arbeitet extrem leise ohne Störgeräusche und lässt sich so auch perfekt im Studio oder natürlich auch im Live-Einsatz nutzen.

Delay pedals come in all forms, from complex to overly simplified. With the Sea Turquoise Delay, Bjorn Juhl and One Control have managed to simplify the controls while maintaining the versatility and quality of a much desired delay pedal. The Sea Turquoise Delay has only three controls and a switch. The Level knob adjusts the output of the pedal and therefore the volume of the echo. The Delay knob controls the delay time, from doubling to 600 ms. The Feedback knob sets the depth of the echo and the Kill Dry switch on the side of the pedal determines whether the dry signal is present at output or not. This switch is useful when using mixing consoles and PA systems where you may only require the effect for depth of sound and ambiance or if you're using the pedal in a parallel FX loop of your amplifier. The Sea Turquoise Delay is also extremely quiet, making it useful in the studio as well as in live situations. Like all One Control Effects pedals, the Sea Turquoise Delay is housed in a machined and anodized compact aluminum case, with only the highest quality components inside to assure years of trouble free use.

SEA TURQUOISE DELAY

Das One Control Baby Blue Overdrive wurde vom Pedal-Guru Bjorn Juhl (BJF/BJFe) entwickelt und basiert auf dem BJFe FUZZ 1 Pedal, das ursprünglich im Jahr 2000 veröffentlicht wurde. Das Baby Blue OD nutzt eine eigenständige Schaltung, die ein dynamisches Overdrive und Fuzz kombiniert. Das Effektpedal interagiert schön dynamisch mit dem Volume-Level der Gitarre und deckt so vom angezerrten Rhythmus-Level bis zum aufgerissenen Lead-Output ein breites Spektrum an möglichen Sounds ab. Alle verwendeten Bauteile wurde von Bjorn Juhl sorgfältig ausgewählt und abgestimmt um diesen schönen Drive-Sound zu erzeugen.

Designed by pedal guru Bjorn Juhl (BJF/BJFe), the One Control Baby Blue Overdrive is based on the BJFe creation FUZZ 1 (originally released in 2000), utilizing a discrete circuit that combines dynamic overdrive and fuzz. The Baby Blue OD produces sublime tone at reduced rhythm volumes as well as cranked up lead output, whether set to a low gain clean, or a saturated wall of sound. The Baby Blue OD utilizes the finest modern components, painstakingly selected and tuned by Bjorn Juhl himself, to produce this classic, NOS sound.
