Use them individually, set them both to detonate, or dial one in as a boost to help you cut through the mix. These two circuits stacked like this is just glorious; better than any other combination we’ve played. That’s why it’s called the Superior Overdrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEastSide Overdrive (first in the signal chain)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cleveland Music Co. \u003cstrong\u003eEastSide Overdrive\u003c\/strong\u003e is our love letter to the pinnacle of transparent, boutique overdrives: the Timmy. Its low- to medium-gain tones can be dialed in for anything from a powerful, dirty boost for stacking with other pedals, to flat out rock-n-roll grind. With a potent EQ section and plenty of output volume to spare, the EastSide can easily push an on-the-edge amplifier’s tubes into overdrive territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVOLUME:\u003c\/strong\u003e sets the overall output volume.

After poring over the schematics of the original JTM 45 amplifier, the original pedal, and many pedals based on both, we applied what we feel are the strengths of them all into the WestSide. Not content to be a rehash of the past, the WestSide offers additional tonal and clipping options, increased output volume, and the powerful presence control makes it feel at home in any rig. The result is a touch-sensitive, bluesy, low-gain overdrive that stacks especially well with our other low- to medium-gain drives, and gives you all the presence you need to stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVOLUME:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sets the overall output volume.
