Product Description
One Control's Strawberry Red Overdrive 4K does not imitate the sound of existing pedals. It's truly unique and designed for the creative spirit, with its 4K (four knob) layout offering plenty of control, and mini-style enclosure allowing you to easily mount it to your pedalboard or fit inside the pocket of your gig bag!
Many pedal builders seek to "simulate" a style of amplifier, but the One Control SROD4K boldly goes forward into the new. It's made to work well with an extremely wide range of amplifiers — from small solid-state practice amps, to large tube amplifers with 4x12" cabinets! It's the ultimate tone-enhancer...
Plenty of Control!
One of the most important features of the Strawberry Red Overdrive 4K is its single 'Gain' knob. This control 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. By 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.
You can use the EQ controls ('Treble' and 'Low') on the Strawberry Red 4K to balance the tone and create a singing, cohesive sound. Many times, players will be using solid-state amps, as they are much more affordable and lighter to carry — but generally sound worse than their tube-powered counterparts. However, the SROD4K can help bring out the best from any amplifier, regardless of the construction. While it is not an amp simulator pedal, the SROD4K can help "tame" even the stiffest and most unforgiving transistor amplifiers. And 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.
One Control 'BJF Series' Pedals
One Control are well-known for their pedal switchers and pedalboard management devices, but they also make their own effects — the BJF Series! These mini pedals are designed by Björn Juhl, a legend within the stompbox sphere who's highly regarded for his work with Mad Professor, Barefoot FX and his own company, BJFE. These stompboxes not only sound great, but save precious pedalboard real-estate too!
Björn Juhl on the Strawberry Red Overdrive 4K:
"The idea for the Strawberry Red Overdrive 4K was to be able to push any amp and speaker combination, from low-gain to medium-gain overdrive and even distortion. The sound of SROD4K is different from any overdrive you've heard on the market. It's a muscle overdrive, but at the same time it can produce old-school sounds and is just really versatile."
"The Strawberry Red Overdrive 4K's EQ option has been limited to the range actually used for live performances and recordings, and by deliberately eliminating extreme settings, it has become possible to respond to various situations in more detail. SROD4K is a miniature size, so it fits in the baggage of an airplane for example. You can easily carry it anywhere, so you can always get the best tone."
