The Great Eastern FX Co. Small speaker overdrive makes an old recording trick that has been used in studios all over the world for years accessible and easy to use for all guitar players. Since the early days of Rock and Roll, Recording engineers have been finding ways to create unique voicing for guitarists without losing the OOMPH that you would receive standing in front of a full stack cranked at a gig. From Jimi Page playing little Supro's with a Tele, to Eric Clapton using a 5w Champ to produce monstrous tones, there are countless examples of this over the decades. What the small speaker allows you to do is apply the spitty and gritty textures of these little amps to your own favourite amplifier. It can be used as an effect to make a riff or lead line stand out, but you might find yourself never turning it off!
Heres what Great Eastern FX say about it:
The SMALL SPEAKER OVERDRIVE (SSO) is a low-gain overdrive inspired by classic small-amp-in-the-studio tones, from Steve Cropper to Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and Joe Walsh.
The SSO's discrete transistor circuit offers outstanding dynamics, with full control of breakup from just your fingers or the guitar’s volume knob.
With gain set low, the SSO can be used as a boost, preamp and tone-shaper, with an uncanny ability to open up the sound of your guitar. Driven hard, it mimics the punchy tone and mid-range ‘honk’ of a simple Class-A amp circuit driving a small speaker.
