Tejas
The PedalWorX Tejas is a unique take on the classic Tube Screamer-style overdrive pedal. While it started life as a faithful clone of the legendary TS-808 that was famously used by jazz guitarist Pat Martino, the Tejas takes that vintage tone and injects it with some extra "spice." The key to the Tejas' versatility is the "Spice" knob, which allows you to shape the character of the overdrive. Crank it counter-clockwise and you get the classic, compressed TS sound - perfect for smooth, singing leads or adding some grit to your rhythm playing. But as you turn the Spice up, the pedal opens up, delivering a less compressed, more dynamic tone that's ideal for blues, rock, or even heavier styles. It's like having two pedals in one - the vintage 808 vibe on one end, and a more modern, high-headroom overdrive on the other. The Spice knob lets you dial in just the right amount of squash and saturation to complement your guitar and amp. It's a clever twist on a timeless circuit, making the Tejas a must-try for any guitarist looking to expand their tonal palette. Whether you're a jazz player seeking that elusive Martino tone, or a rocker craving a versatile overdrive that can go from smooth to searing, the PedalWorX Tejas has you covered. It's the next generation of compression-shaping technology, and a pedal that deserves a spot on any serious guitarist's pedalboard.
