(designed by BJF) Super Apricot OD
The One Control Super Apricot OD is a captivating overdrive pedal that transports you back to the glory days of vintage American rock and blues. Designed by the renowned effects guru Bjorn Juhl, this analog gem meticulously recreates the raw, woody character of mid-1960s Supro tube amplifiers. At its heart, the Super Apricot OD is an "Amp in a Box" - a compact powerhouse that captures the soulful, dynamically responsive voice of those iconic small-but-mighty Supro combos. Turn up the Drive and you'll unlock the massive, growling tones that made the 1964 Thunderbolt 15-inch bass amp a staple in early rock recordings. Despite its punchy overdrive capabilities, the Super Apricot retains remarkable clarity and note definition. It reacts organically to your picking nuance and guitar volume changes, effortlessly transitioning from a thick, hot-clean sound to rich, harmonically complex distortion. This touch-sensitive responsiveness allows it to function as both a standalone drive pedal and a versatile preamp, shaping your full guitar tone with uncompressed, amp-like compression. The Treble control fine-tunes the high-frequency response, letting you dial in the perfect presence and brightness to suit your pickups and amplifier. Meanwhile, the robust aluminum enclosure and low current draw make the Super Apricot a reliable and pedalboard-friendly companion. Whether you're chasing vintage American grit, pushing your amp into glorious saturation, or sculpting a dynamic lead tone, the One Control Super Apricot OD delivers the goods with a level of authenticity and musicality that will captivate your senses.
