Daredevil Pedals British Black Belt Overdrive Pedal
by Daredevil
$169.00
An incredibly powerful tool for all of your rock n roll tones. The British Black Belt is comprised of 2 separate circuits in one simple box. The FULL channel is an FET gain circuit very similar to the one found in a common "belt loop" mini amp, which when run through a proper rig sounds massive and dynamic.
These small amps have long been a secret recording technique to layer instruments yielding huge gain response. In an effort to maintain that approach, the Black Belt has a 2nd channel that emulates these small blown out tones. The frequency range is a bit more even, lending itself to the sonic realm of any number of small battery powered amps that artists have used over the past decades.
The intent is to give musicians another cool way to get creative in the studio and expand their tracking capabilities, meanwhile giving the option to utilize these tones in a live setting as well. The British Black Belt can be used to achieve lo-fi settings, huge walls of gain, or scaled back variations of either. Just one knob for each keeps the operation simple.
So crank it up, get nasty, and have some fun with this pedal... there ain't no rules in rock n roll.
Warranty Info: Daredevil covers repair or replacement of this unit for 2 years should it malfunction unless the damage occurred from operator misuse including incorrect power supply, any adjustment to inner components, or physical incurred damage. International customers check with dealers for warranty policies, shipping is not covered for out of USA claims.
These are all handwired in Chicago and built with high quality parts. Runs on 9V DC power supply with negative ground (pin), any 100mA / "boss style" will be fine. I highly suggest a quality power brick with adequate filtering... the cheap plug sources and daisy chains will add noise and create potential problems.

- VOLUME control is for the MICRO circuit
- GAIN control is for the FULL gain circuit - ( scratchiness is normal )
- TOGGLE switch selects between them
