TC Electronic El Cambo Tube-Style Overdrive Pedal

Classic Tube Overdrive for Essential Blues Rock Tones

Add some extra girth and weight to your guitar tone with the El Cambo Overdrive from TC Electronic, an all-analog overdrive pedal that offers an authentically vintage sound, from subtle warmth to screaming tube drive. With its precisely tuned midrange response, El Cambo will help your guitar cut through the mix just like a classic tube amp.

El Cambo provides simple Drive, Tone, and Level knob controls to shape your driven tone, for the right balance. True bypass maintains your tone when it's time to cut the overdrive out of your chain. The metal body is rugged and convenient, sporting top-mounted jacks for easier pedalboard routing. And with support for either 9V battery or power-supply input (both sold separately), you have versatile options for powering your pedal.

El Cambo Overdrive delivers a distinct midrange boost, one that can instantly warm up your tone even if it's a bit too jangly to cut through a loud rhythm section. Thanks to its symmetrical clipping overdrive circuit, the harmonic saturation is fluid and musical sounding.

 

With plenty of gain and boost on tap, El Cambo can be tailored to work in almost any setting. From adding just a bit of push to your preamp, to subtle warmth, to screaming overdrive, to singing sustain and thickness, El Cambo gets you there. Whether the moment calls for blistering Texas-style blues, soulful pop ballads, or classic rock riffs, El Cambo has you covered.

Made from a sturdy metal housing, this all-analog overdrive will last for years and years without losing that warm tube saturation tone. El Cambo's top-mounted jacks save pedalboard space and corral your cables, while the true-bypass operation keeps your signal nice and clean.
