Blackout Effectors Mantra Overdrive

MANTRA OVERDRIVE by BLACKOUT EFFECTORS: equally
capable of invoking the sacred sounds of a classically refined
overdrive AND summoning wickedly raunchy drive, with more crunch on tap
than the “overdrive” moniker usually entails. With such a wide palette
of tones and character the MANTRA will feel just as at home at the feet
of the stalwart blues crowd as it will the quintessential rock &
roll protagonists.

The MANTRA utilizes amp-like circuit architecture, with multiple
cascaded MOSFET and JFET gain stages to insure the most natural,
touch-sensitive overdrive conditions possible and a seemingly endless
range of clean-up with your guitar’s volume knob. We burned a lot of
midnight oil to make sure that the MANTRA could get down with
vintage-type, low output single coils and hot humbucker pickups alike.
From gently fingerpicked melodic phrases to bludgeoning riffs that
you’ll want to play over and over and over…

CONTROLS:

• BASS | Cut it or crank it. One thing is for sure, you won’t be left wanting.
• TREBLE | Crank it up without losing any lowend or drop it down to emphasize those mids. Smooth out your highs or let ‘em sizzle!
• GAIN | From vintage tweed-like chime to blazing drive.
• VOLUME | Like it loud? We thought you might.

Comprised of all discrete transistors/components and absolutely no
diode clipping, the MANTRA is genetically far removed from the
run-of-the-mill overdrive fare and the sonic difference is clear. Like
all Blackout pedals, these gems are handmade (with precision &
balls!) at our shop in Asheville, NC, with high-quality components and
rock solid construction throughout.

Chassis: Beautiful glossy transparent gold finish with a blood red
silk screen graphic. The transparent gold allows a lot of the chassis’
natural surface variations to come through, providing a finish with
real depth for a three dimensional look.
