When I set out to design this pedal, I wanted
something that would be versatile, simple to use
and sound great with any Guitar or Amp. It had to
be suitable for different types of players too, that
is both rhythm and lead players. But what I
wanted most of all was for it to produce a
beautiful rich soulful overdrive; something that
could be clean when played lightly, but break up
beautifully when you dug in. If I'm completely
honest, I wanted it to sound like John Mayer's
Tone! The reason for this is it was what I personally would find most useful for my style of
playing.
What I came up with is the Blue Brit!
The name Blue Britt hopefully isn't too cryptic, it comes from the fact that its sound was
based around Marshall® (British) ideas; it's Blue and sounds great for playing the Blues.
Although I set out to get that British sound, being a unique design it has ended up being
quite unique. I've been told that has some Fender® qualities being likened to a Fender®
Blues Deluxe®, but also a bit tweedy. The overriding feedback however is that it is very
amp like and hits the self imposed "John Mayer" brief.
