Tym Lemon Sournote Overdrive
The Tym Lemon Sournote Overdrive is a handmade germanium overdrive pedal designed to emulate the classic Orange/Matamp amp tones. This pedal features an asymmetric circuit with an active FAC (tone control) for versatile sound shaping, from fairly clean to saturated overdrive. With controls for Volume, FAC, and Drive, it offers a wide range of tonal possibilities reminiscent of vintage amps. Like the Marshall BluesBreaker, this pedal aims to capture the essence of a sought-after amplifier sound in a compact stompbox.
What Tym Guitars say about the Tym Lemon Sournote Overdrive
This new Tym effect is an asymmetric germanium overdrive with active FAC (tone control) with breakup based on the old Orange/Matamp tone from "fairly" clean to saturated overdrive and with HEAPS of volume on tap. I've designed it to kind of mimic the drive characteristics of my old Orange and Matamp amps although I'm not calling it an "amp in a box" pedal as I've never been a big fan of that description because it, of course, depends on what you're running into.
The pedal has three simple controls marked with "pics only" indicators based on the Lemon amp artwork with VOL / FAC / DRIVE. This is of course a homage to the early pics only Orange OR amps from the early 70's.The FAC is a standard low pass/high filter I use on a few of my pedal designs with no mid scoop and takes this circuit from very bassy to very bitey just like the FAC combined with the HF Drive on the vintage amps.
