Mythical Tones that Enchanted Legends
Experience legendary touch sensitivity and creamy tube overdrive with the '82 Enigmatic Overdrive Special Amp from Universal Audio, a UAFX pedal that emulates three decades of the Dumble Overdrive Special. With Jazz, Rock, and boutique-style Custom mode, plus numerous preamp mods, this pedal delivers authentic handmade amp tones.
The '82 Enigmatic Overdrive Special Amp offers nine classic mic and speaker pairings (three on the pedal, six in app) which take advantage of UA's groundbreaking Dynamic Speaker Modeling from the award-winning OX Amp Top Box. You also get several preamps and tone stack mods, including FET, HRM, '70s Santa Cruz, late '80s Skyliner, and '90s Hot Rubber Monkey. Much more can be edited and customized via the UAFX mobile app for a truly boutique amp experience. And with stereo I/O, you can send your signal to multiple destinations, take in stereo FX, or use the 4-cable method to insert an external drive into your signal chain.
Three Decades of Super-Rare Overdrive Special Tone
Universal Audio wore out the rolodex to get exclusive access to numerous original Overdrive Special amps, spanning three essential eras of these mythical tone monsters. From the 1970s Santa Cruz models that brought the ODS into the light, to later LA iterations of the ‘80s and ‘90s used on countless legendary sessions, Enigmatic ‘82 puts the sound of these fabled amps under your fingertips.
