Description

The Anasounds Blues Believer is an overdrive pedal inspired by the classic British transparent overdrive tones, designed to bring vintage valve amp character to your rig with great versatility. It fits comfortably into any pedalboard setup, whether you want a gentle crunch on a clean amp, a boost to push your amp harder, or a thick, harmonically rich distortion. Its tone respects the natural character of your guitar and amplifier, offering a dynamic response that reacts to your playing intensity without masking your instrument’s voice.

Sonically, the Anasounds Blues Believer delivers a bright, clear overdrive that channels the spirit of classic British amps, offering a sound that’s both fat and harmonically complex. Unlike typical Plexi style overdrives, the Anasounds Blues Believer brings a unique brightness without sacrificing warmth, making it a superb choice for blues, rock, and beyond. With the addition of a third gain stage, the Anasounds Blues Believer can move from smooth overdrive to full on distortion, all while maintaining clarity and articulation. The tone control lets you dial in brightness from warm and mellow to sharp and punchy, while the Voice switch tames harsh highs for a more focused sound that adapts well to different guitars and pickup types.

Playing the Anasounds Blues Believer is intuitive and inspiring. Its three main controls, Output, Gain, and Tone, offer responsive and familiar adjustments, allowing players to quickly find their sweet spot. The Voice and Distortion switches provide further tonal shaping, adding versatility without complexity. Whether used as a subtle always on boost or pushed to its distortion limits, the Anasounds Blues Believer responds naturally to your touch and dynamics, encouraging expressive playing and making legato runs and bluesy bends feel organic and alive.

The Anasounds Blues Believer’s circuit is thoughtfully engineered with three gain stages. The first pre gain stage prepares your signal, the second shapes the classic overdrive character, and the third adds a distortion stage that maintains the pedal’s signature musicality even at high gain levels. Internally, two trimpots allow fine control over the maximum gain in both overdrive and distortion modes, while a Si/LED switch lets you choose between classic silicon clipping for vintage tone or LED clipping for a more amp like, harmonically rich response.

Built in a rugged all metal enclosure, the Anasounds Blues Believer is designed for durability and roadworthiness. The top mounted input and output jacks, alongside the conveniently placed DC power input, make it easy to integrate into any pedalboard setup, optimising space and cable routing. The Anasounds Blues Believer’s tasteful graphics, a moody noir inspired rainy scene, stand out without being flashy, complementing the pedal’s understated yet distinctive character. A stylish branded LED indicator shows when the effect is engaged, offering clear visual feedback during performance.

The true bypass circuit ensures your tone remains pure and unaffected when the Anasounds Blues Believer is switched off, preserving signal clarity and integrity. Additionally, the footswitch is user replaceable without soldering, offering practical longevity for heavy gigging or studio use. The Anasounds Blues Believer requires a 9V DC power supply and must be used with mono instrument cables to function correctly.

With its heritage rooted in a pedal that emulates Eric Clapton’s iconic tone with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, the Anasounds Blues Believer is a versatile tool suitable for players seeking authentic British overdrive tones with modern flexibility. Whether you’re after a subtle boost, classic crunch, or full distortion, the Anasounds Blues Believer adapts effortlessly to your style and gear, making it a valuable addition to any guitarist or bass player’s collection. Backed by a solid warranty, it offers peace of mind alongside a sound that’s ready for studio and stage alike.
