Jalapeño - Overdrive
The Mr. Black Jalapeño is a fiery little overdrive pedal that packs a serious punch. Drawing inspiration from the legendary JDS-50 circuit, this pedal delivers a rich, harmonically-complex overdrive tone that's perfect for everything from searing lead lines to thick, creamy rhythm work. What sets the Jalapeño apart is its unique clipping stage, which uses a proprietary blend of silicon and germanium diodes to produce a dynamic, touch-sensitive response. Crank up the gain and you'll be rewarded with a gloriously saturated tone that maintains clarity and definition, even when pushing the limits of distortion. The pedal's three-band EQ allows you to fine-tune your sound, letting you scoop mids for a more modern high-gain tone or boost them for a vintage-inspired crunch. But the Jalapeño isn't just about sheer power - it also excels at adding just the right amount of grit and sizzle to clean amplifier tones. Dial back the gain and use it as a boost to push your amp into sweet, natural overdrive territory. The pedal's tight low end and smooth, singing highs make it a versatile tool for any style of music. Whether you're a blues rocker, metal shredder, or indie guitarist, the Mr. Black Jalapeño is sure to spice up your sound with its unique blend of vintage character and modern touch. It's no wonder this pedal has found its way onto the pedalboards of discerning players around the world.
