TC Electronic CINDERS OVERDRIVE Overview

Ignite Your Sound
Ideal for blues shredders and fans of classic rock, Cinders Overdrive from TC Electronic is an all-analog tube-emulating OD pedal that convincingly recreates the nonlinear harmonics and warm saturated distortion of a driven tube amp. With excellent responsivity and expressivity, Cinders Overdrive offers a wide gain range with which to play.

Three simple controls allow you to control Tone, Volume, and Drive for rapid tonal shaping. True bypass ensures you maintain your pure tone, free from coloration and tone suck. The durable metal chassis is designed to stand up to years of abuse. The Cinders Overdrive can run on either a 9V battery or a 9 VDC power adapter (both separately).

The Warm Sound of Tubes
If you long for the roar of a maxed-out tube amp, you're gonna love Cinders Overdrive. Even if you play late at night, at bedroom levels, you will always get that hard-rockin' warm tube sound that drives your soul and your music. There's just something about the big, warm sound of tube breakup that has inspired legions of rock guitarists decade after decade.
No Such Thing as Too Transparent
While some competitors' overdrive pedals turn your rhythm playing into little more than indistinct clouds of mush, Cinders Overdrive always keeps your playing from getting lost in the mix. Carefully engineered circuitry, designed by guitarists, cradles your playing in your desired level of overdrive, warmth, and definition in a way that elevates your creativity, just like a real tube amp.
Intuitive Controls
Capable of a tremendous range of classic tube amp tones, Cinders Overdrive sports an easy-to-use control layout including: Drive—controls the amount of overdrive, Volume—controls the output level, and Tone—sets the amount of high-end content in your signal.

TC Electronic CINDERS OVERDRIVE Reviews

Great Overdrive

Nice Blues Driver clone. Solid range on all the knobs, especially with the gain which can be pulled up enough to get crunchy. The pedal is on the larger side, but it does make the knobs more accesible. The switch does not click when activated, just a heads up in case you’re not used to that style.
