Aclam Dr Robert Overdrive Pedal.

Description

The Beatles fans, come together. Aclam have modelled the Dr. Robert overdrive on the rare Vox UL730 solid-state preamp, used extensively by The Beatlesas well as other monumental names like Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
You’d be right in thinking theartwork looks familiar -Klaus Voorman is the man responsible, who designed the cover for their iconic Revolver album. You still can’t escapeBeatlemania in the 21st century.
Sound
Based on the Vox’s Normal channel, the Dr. Robert is an uncanny replica of the original used extensively onbothRevolver and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts ClubBand. It was the not-so-secret key totheirguitar tone.
Only a small number of original UL730 amps have survived to thispresent day, so you’ll be getting your hands on an extremely exclusive tone. The Dr. Robert captures the essence of one of the first hybrid amps ever created. It sounds great either through guitar or bass and performsadmirably cancelling out low-end drops.
Controls
Controls include your standard volume, gain and middle, withthe latter important for shaping the classic scooped British tone when rolled off and adding unprecedented saturation turned uphigh.
Aclam have added their own “Mach Schau!” custom FET circuit to the mix just for good measure. This mimics the feel of the tube power amp section, saturating things even further and making for a great lead tone. Adjust using the independent volume control.
Enclosure
As with all Aclam pedals, the Dr. Robert features a custom enclosure with side thumb screws to fasten the pedal to Aclam pedalboards and select boards from other brands.
Switching sounds tight and clean thanks tosupreme Alpha pots & switchesand the finest Wimacaps.
