Guess who inspired this pedal.
Bachman worked closely with Tech 21 to design a single pedal he could use with any amp. After having captured the sound of an entire chain of Bachman's '59 Les Paul going through amps, mikes, compressors and tape compression in one preset of the SansAmp PSA-1, the electronics had to be reconfigured into an overdrive pedal.
With just the right balance of odd and even harmonics, the American Woman re-creates the cascading effect of 2 different amplifiers, including pre-amp and power amp stages. This effect is typically only achieved by running 2 guitar amplifiers into each other. For versatility, the American Woman pedal can also be cleaned up for semi-dirty and warm blues sounds.
