Anasounds FX Teacher Blues Believer

Anasounds FX Teacher Blues Believer is an overdrive pedal based on a classic Bluesbraker circuit with vintage British amp-inspired sounds.

There are plenty of overdrive pedals, yet the Bluesbraker pedal has something special. When the term British sound gets mentioned, it usually brings to mind the fat warm crunch of a Plexi, but the FX Teacher Blues Believer has a different sonic color to it. It is a bright overdrive,  truly respectful of your amp and guitar’s personality, and mindful of the dynamics in your playing, while supplying all the fat and harmonically loaded sustain typical of tube amps.

The pedal can be used as your basic crunch on a super clean amp, as a boost to push it to the other side, or as an extra source of fat on an amp that’s already cooking. Like most overdrive pedals, this pedal has  three classic knobs: Out, Gain and Tone. Out controls the output level, Gain controls the saturation level and Tone controls the brightness of your tone.

The original circuit had a interdependence between the Gain and brightness that we decided to keep, creating a brighter sound as your turn up the gain. That is precisely the Voice switch is added, in order to tame the higher frequencies. The other switch, called Disto, adds a third saturation stage to the classic two-stage circuit. And in case that’s not enough, two trimpots inside the pedal will push the gain even further.
