Description

The JHS Lari Basilio signature overdrive from JHS Pedals is a gain pedal created in collaboration with Brazilian guitarist Lari Basilio, delivering warm, harmonically rich overdrive character suited to Basilio's jazz-influenced rock lead playing style. JHS Pedals produces signature collaborations with professional artists targeting specific tonal requirements, and the Lari Basilio signature reflects the warm, musical overdrive voice that characterizes her playing.

The Univox UD-50 Uni-Drive is a late-1960s/early-1970s Japanese-made overdrive and booster built into a large, treadle-style enclosure resembling a volume pedal rather than a standard stompbox. Built around silicon transistors, it produces a warm yet open, harmonically rich overdrive that stays natural and crunchy at lower settings and turns fuzzy and dense when pushed further, functioning as both a clean boost and a gritty overdrive depending on how hard it drives a tube amp's front end into breakup. It was famously used by Jimi Hendrix during Record Plant studio sessions and by Jimmy Page during Led Zeppelin's early tours.
