Scream better.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSure, this circuit has been done so many times that we’re all green in the face. A classic is a classic for good reason, but when a classic is a launching pad rather than a thing to be copied? That’s an inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cleveland Music Co. Old Stone Overdrive isn’t just another son or brother of the fabled Tube Screamer. First of all, the signature midrange honk has been tamed just a touch. And with true-bypass switching, 3 clipping options, improvements to the tone control, and selectable pre-gain EQ modes, the Old Stone is more like a versatile distant relative. So, maybe a third cousin twice removed? We don’t know. We’re still waiting on the DNA test results. In any case, who cares? The Old Stone just screams better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eControls\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLEVEL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sets the overall output level of the pedal.
