Rambler Overdrive Super Deluxe
Rambler Overdrive Super Deluxe
As indicated by its namesake, the Rambler Overdrive Super Deluxe is Rambler Effects' flagship overdrive. An adaptation of the Marshall Bluesbreaker™ circuit, the Rambler Overdrive can go from pushing your amp to the edge of breakup to the roar of a screaming stack and takes several boutique adaptations to the next level.

The flagship Rambler Overdrive Super Deluxe takes the Rambler moniker to heart. It's been described as a "library of textures and tones" by those who've flipped through the seemingly endless number of combinations of clipping and boost, and no matter your style (or styles) you will find your sound and a whole lot more.
