Bonnie Blue

OVERDRIVE

Description

The Bonnie Blue overdrive is a brand new development that perfectly complements the rest of the MSD product line. Thanks to its innovative voltage-doubling technology, the Bonnie Blue recreates the typical American overdrive sounds of the seventies with remarkable accuracy. The legendary “Hollow-Honk-Sound” of the Allman Brothers, the creamy Les Paul – Soli of the Eagles, Santana¹s glowing Woodstock-Tone or singing, dynamic runs from Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks ­ all this and more can be achieved with the Bonnie Blue. At full overdrive settings, the tone of the Bonnie Blue can even achieve the legendary Tone Bender sounds of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page! Thanks to its enormous headroom, The Union Jack provides stable, consistent overdrive in front of any amplifier and never sounds muddy or undefined. The gain switch also allows use as a clean-booster with low distortion. Only the highest quality components are used in the construction of the Bonnie Blue, including the meticulous hand-selection of the transistors that guarantees perfect, consistent operation from unit to unit.
