Universal Audio Overdrive & Distortion Pedals

Universal Audio Overdrive and Distortion Pedals are firm favourites when it comes to classic studio hardware. Fusing decades of craftsmanship together, they offer time-honored guitar tones for rock and metal with just the right amount of grit, edge and definition. Universal Audio overdrive and distortion pedals are crafted to accurately capture the magic of iconic overdrive valve sounds.

The Enigmatic ‘82 Overdrive Special Amp and ANTI 1992 High Gain Amp are the highlights of the range. The former delivers a raw distortion that can be complemented with all manner of delay effects, including classic reverb, for a bigger, more cutting output. The ANTI 1992 is similar, providing a gateway to the scooped aggression of Slipknot, Machine Head and more through an authentic emulation of the Universal Audio settings they’ve employed.

Universal Audio overdrive and distortion pedals like the Lion 68 are designed to mimic the unmistakable sound of a Super Lead, one of the most iconic amp sounds in history utilised by countless legendary guitarists across various genres.

Universal Audio’s silent switching streamlines activating and deactivating these purveyors of heft, and the UAFX Control app gives you an extreme level of control over what they’re adding to your board, amp and instrument. If you want even more from these features, the FET Compressor and the Max Preamp and Dual Compressor introduce further modality, all in service of having the most searing tone feasible.

Universal Audio Overdrive and Distortion pedals are made to the highest standards. Often with impressive durability, premium components and packed with excellent features such as silent switching, multi effects like dual compressor, spring reverb, delay effects and more.
