The Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive is an official collaboration between Warm Audio and Dirty Boy Pedals, delivering boutique overdrive, preamp, and all-analog amp simulation tones in a compact pedal format. Powered by proprietary T.A.E. (Tube Amp Emulation) technology developed by Danny Gomez, Overdrive delivers touch-sensitive response, tube-like harmonic saturation, and dynamic cleanup inspired by vintage British-style amplifiers. Dedicated Gain, Tone, Volume, and Variac controls shape everything from transparent boost tones to saturated breakup, compression, and voltage-starved fuzz textures. With speaker-emulated output voiced after a 4x12 cabinet, Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive easily connects directly to interfaces, mixers, front of house systems, and FRFR speakers.

Features

• An OD, Preamp, & Amp-Sim - All In One: The Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive was created in partnership between boutique builder Dirty Boy Pedals and Warm Audio, bringing the celebrated Dirty Boy Preamp pedal circuit to more players in a compact format. Powered by all-analog proprietary T.A.E. (tube amp emulation) tech, the Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive brings a faithful all-analog amp-simulator to any pedalboard. 
• Developed With Dirty Boy: Working closely with Dirty Boy owner Danny Gomez, Warm Audio carefully recreated the amp-like tone, and boutique-style overdrive that made the original hand-built Dirty Boy Preamp pedal a favorite among players. Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive delivers the authentic feel and sonic behavior of the original boutique pedal known for everything from all-analog amp simulation, all the way to lush overdrive tones. 
• T.A.E. & Variac Control: Dirty Boy Jr. Overdrive’s emulated output allows the pedal to be used at line-level, as an all-analog amp simulator, making it easy to plug in directly to front of house, mixers, interfaces or FRFR speakers. The variac control introduces sag and compression via calibrated voltage reduction to simulate old tube amps at various stages of breakup.
