Mantra Overdrive by Blackout Effectors

Equally capable of invoking the sacred sounds of a classically refined guitar overdrive AND summoning wickedly raunchy drive, with more crunch on tap than the “overdrive” moniker usually entails.

With such a wide palette of tones and character the Mantra Overdrive will feel just as at home at the feet of the stalwart blues crowd as it will the quintessential rock & roll protagonists.

The Mantra utilizes amp-like circuit architecture, with multiple cascaded MOSFET and JFET gain stages to insure the most natural, touch-sensitive overdrive conditions possible and a seemingly endless range of clean-up with your guitar’s volume knob.

Blackout Effectors burned a lot of midnight oil to make sure that the Mantra Overdrive could get down with vintage-type, low output single coils and hot humbucker pickups alike. From gently fingerpicked melodic phrases to bludgeoning riffs that you’ll want to play over and over and over…

• BASS  - Cut it or crank it. One thing is for sure, you won’t be left wanting.
• TREBLE - Crank it up without losing any lowend or drop it down to emphasize those mids. Smooth out your highs or let ‘em sizzle!
• GAIN - From vintage tweed-like chime to blazing drive.
• VOLUME - Like it loud? We thought you might.

Comprised of all discrete transistors/components and absolutely no diode clipping, the Mantra Overdrive is genetically far removed from the run-of-the-mill overdrive fare and the difference is clear. Like all Blackout Effectors guitar pedals, these gems are handmade with high-quality components and rock solid construction throughout.
