The 1517 Overdrive builds on the legacy of The Armistice with the same spirit of bold tone-shaping freedom—only now bearing a name worthy of nailing your sound to the door. This is not your average two-knob dirt box. With an arsenal of tone-sculpting tools under the hood, the 1517 gives you surgical control over your overdrive character, making it equally at home as a warm, bluesy foundation, a sharp cutting rhythm tone, or a brutally tight boost for high-gain amps. In short, it’s here to help you protest weak tone.

While the Volume and Gain set your basic output and drive levels, the real magic happens with the extra shaping controls:

Treble - A passive high-end filter that lets you mellow the bite or unleash all the shimmer.
Cut Switch - Trims bass and shifts the Timbre sweep, perfect for tailoring to single coils or humbuckers, or for tightening up as a focused lead or boost.
Texture - Past noon, a limiting circuit engages an extra hard-clipping gain stage for a more aggressive, harmonically rich attack.
Timbre - Dials in upper midrange presence and gain character, from smooth and rounded to cutting and articulate.

Whether you’re shaping classic rock grit, dialing in precise modern metal attack, or stacking into another drive for layered complexity, the 1517 Overdrive will help you nail your tone with conviction
