For the last couple of years, there has seemingly been a glut of new overdrives that enter the market on a weekly basis. I’ve been like a kid in a candy store as overdrive pedals are my favorite pedals. Though I’ve played through tons of ’em, I haven’t written about many mainly because there’s just so much gear out there, and I’ve got a limited amount of time I can spend reviewing and writing.
But I’ve noticed that in the past few weeks, there have been just a couple of new overdrives to enter the market; one of which I purchased (the KASHA Overdrive), and the Skull Crusher overdrive, both made by the same company. Since then, I haven’t seen anything new come out – at least no one is putting out press releases…
Are we at a saturation point now? Has all the overdrive territory been covered? Perhaps it is, or perhaps people are just waiting to release their pedals. One thing’s for sure, the overdrive tap has dried up.
