The Royal Blue Overdrive offers a wide range of gain from light overdrive to distortion. With the Drive rolled all the way off it can also serve as boost with EQ. Filtering is limited on the overdrive to provide transparent tone that you can tailor with the Treble and Bass controls. One of the most valued attributes of an overdrive pedal is touch sensitivity. Like the best boutique amps the RBO lets you determine the amount of breakup by how hard you strike the strings with your pick, and/or by adjusting the volume knob on your guitar. The Royal Blue can add this level of expressiveness to any clean or slightly overdriven amplifier. CONTROLS: VOLUME: Set the overall output level of the pedal. DRIVE: Controls the amount of distortion. BASS: Boost/cut “shelving” type equalizer controls the amount of low end. TREBLE: Boost/cut “shelving” type equalizer controls the amount of high end. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Current draw at 9VDC approx. 3.5mA Input impedance - 140 K Output impedance - 25 K Voltage supply range - 7.5-12V True bypass CAUTION! Never operate the unit with its bottom removed or damage will most likely occur.

There are 4 controls in addition to the bypass switch that allows the effect to be switched in and out of circuit. A true bypass scheme is used, the effect is active when the halo ring is illuminated.Some typical settings…The blue halo light ring installed diffuses the light when playing live, avoiding being blinded by the standard LEDs just as you are about to go into that all important solo thus giving a larger area to see where the pedal is located easily on the pedal board on darkened stages. The addition of the large aluminium foot topper gives you more real estate for contact when switching the pedal on and off during quick changes when playing live.All Flattley “Platinum Range” pedals are hand processed in our Flattley paint shop. The bare aluminium enclosure is abraded prior to painting with the etch primer. The etch primer acts as a anti corrosive layer and allows the primer to bond to the enclosure ensuring a tough resilient paint finish.Multiple coats of base coat primer are applied which are then lightly abraded to remove any blemishes or paint speckles prior to the application of the base colour. We apply several coats of base colour until an even coverage occurs and the base colour develops rich smooth depth. Metallic holographic chrome flake is then applied using a clear inter coat which adds that all important Flattley sparkle.The pedal enclosure is now ready to be hydro dipped in its Flattley graphics. This is the process whereby the graphics are applied using water activated film, the residual PVA film is then washed off and the enclosure is then allowed to dry naturally.Once dried the lacquer process begins. Each “Flattley Platinum” pedal has a minimum of three coats of lacquer which are all wet sanded between coats. Once the lacquer has hardened, it is then hand polished using three different grades of polishing compounds and it then has a final polish to achieve a high gloss finish using a wool finishing pad. This process gives the smooth deep lustre finish that is inherent in all Flattley Guitar and Bass effects pedals.This is the first Version of the “DG Fuzz ”There are 4 controls in addition to the bypass switch that allows the effect to be switched in and out of circuit.
