Tumnus Overdrive V2 : Perfect overdrive

3 years ago

This pedal is absolutely a great one with the sound and build quality. I am using Fender Blues Junior III and this pedal fits very well. Tubescreamer is kind of must pedal for this amp but it is not as clear as Tumnus when i play arpeggios. Even this pedal is a mid range pedal but the EQ response is different from the tubescreamer,s. I played side by side many times with different tone and drive combinations and as a conclusion i keep both of them for different tastes. By the way stacking them is another journey… (see John Mayer setup.

Well, beside the sound clarity during breaking up the tubes, it is a good booster. I put it before Nobels and the result is great huge sound with telecaster.

The build quality is very good. I would say it is the highest build quality pedal on my pedalboard. Knobs are strong and smooth, led is blue and not eye scratching - very good really, and the switch makes you feel it wont let you down after many years.

In conclusion, sound and build quality would be one of the best! I tried many overdrives but in the end I found this pedal which will stay on my pedalboard forever.
