Alexander Pedals Jubilee Silver Overdrive
Alexander Pedals · pedal
The Alexander Pedals Jubilee Silver Overdrive is an analog overdrive inspired by the Marshall Silver Jubilee amplifier, capturing the sizzly, crunchy British character of that classic 1987 amp. A passive three-band tone stack voiced for a Marshall register delivers bright, punchy mids and characteristic high-end sizzle. The pedal covers late 1980s to early 1990s hard rock tones with good articulation and touch sensitivity, spanning from Plexi-style breakup to more aggressive modern crunch in a compact enclosure.
