Has anyone tried one of the black ice overdrive circuits in your guitar? to my understanding they convert a tone control into a overdrive control on your guitar. so turning it up and down will give some gain into your signal.

i was wondering how well they worked.

here is a link to the page.

Apparently, you can make your own "device" for much, much less money. I read that it's just two diodes.

They must clip the signal or add harmonics or something. But it works best for humbuckers. You'd have to have overwound single coils to really get the effect.

yeah, i was planning on putting it into a guitar that i am building. it has two humbuckers.

i wouldnt put it into my strat. my strat is twangy enough without it. i can almost get distortion through a clean amp by just snapping the strings more.
