SKU: OC-SUPERAPRICOT
The One Control Super Apricot OD is an "amp-in-a-box" pedal that's designed to capture the tone of mid-'60s Supro tube amps. The Supro sound is undoubtedly at the core of early rock 'n' roll, and the Super Apricot OD can produce the rustic, raw and gnarly tones of a classic Supro tube amp with a surprising amount of dynamic control.
As you play, you'll be amazed at the Super Apricot's depth. The tone is saturated without feeling overly compressed, and can even evoke the massive sound made famous by the 1964 "Thunderbolt 15" bass amp which, much like another American-made amp originally designed for bass, attained legendary status only after a guitar was plugged into it!
Easily adjust the gain with the dedicated 'Drive' control, and use your guitar's volume control and picking intensity to clean up the tone. However, there is a feeling of saturation somewhere in that clean sound — it becomes more of a "hot clean" — and the distortion still maintains clarity more like a clean tone.
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 Super Apricot OD:
"The Super Apricot OD is a dynamic amp-in-a-box pedal that creates a medium gain sound that evokes the dawn of rock and roll! Since the gain can be controlled by the trembling of the string, it will be possible to always turn on and use it. From rhythm to lead, it is also effective as a preamp to use as a basis for guitar tones. You could easily create an entire solo album with one Super Apricot OD. Even putting a buffer in front does not affect the sound, so you can combine it with other pedals."
