Description

The Warm Audio Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive is a compact all analog overdrive, preamp, and amp simulator developed in collaboration with Dirty Boy Pedals, bringing the acclaimed Dirty Boy Preamp circuit to a pedalboard friendly format. Powered by proprietary T.A.E. (Tube Amp Emulation) technology developed by Danny Gomez, it delivers the touch sensitive response, harmonic richness, and dynamic feel of a vintage tube amplifier without requiring a traditional amp. From transparent boost and edge of breakup tones to saturated overdrive and natural compression, the Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive provides a wide range of expressive sounds while preserving the character of the original boutique design.

Designed for maximum flexibility, the Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive features dedicated Gain, Tone, Volume, and Variac controls, allowing players to shape everything from subtle tube style enhancement to voltage starved fuzz inspired textures. A speaker emulated output voiced after a closed back 4x12 Greenback cabinet makes it easy to connect directly to mixers, audio interfaces, front of house systems, or FRFR speakers, while the instrument level preamp output integrates seamlessly with traditional amplifiers and effects loops. Housed in a rugged metal enclosure with authentic Dirty Boy styling and featuring true bypass operation, every pedal is hand tested by Warm Audio technicians in Austin, Texas for dependable boutique inspired performance.
