Vemuram Jan Ray Boost Overdrive

Vemuram Jan Ray: the punchy, open tone of a Blackface Fender in a compact pedal

The Vemuram Jan Ray is one of the most beloved and respected overdrive pedals of recent years, and for good reason. Designed to capture and amplify the characteristic punchy, open tone of a Blackface Fender amplifier, the Jan Ray sounds like an amp being pushed just beyond its sweet spot: warm, dynamic, and full of life. It's a pedal that makes your guitar and amp sound like the best version of themselves.

The Jan Ray sounds transparent and musical: the overdrive is subtle enough to let the character of your guitar shine through completely, but has enough body and warmth to immediately enrich your sound. The combination of Level, Gain, Tone, and Bass gives you fine-grained control over your tone, while the internal Saturation trim pot allows you to adjust the amount of harmonic richness to your personal preference. From a light boost to a full, driven overdrive: the Jan Ray covers it all.

The Jan Ray is handmade in Japan by Vemuram, runs on 9V power, and is a must-have for any guitarist who takes their tone seriously.
