Blue Collar overdrive is the second pedal design from Menatone. It debuted in 1997 at a request for a Red Snapper with more gain and compression. The Blue Collar produces a fat, midrangey tone that loves single coils. The gain ranges from just above clean to a beautiful, full, smooth grind with great harmonics and sustain. While smooth, lots of complexity and clairity remains. The Blue Collar mini will be sold direct from Menatone only, which accounts for the amazing price. Just like every other Menatone pedal, each one is made by hand, one at a time in the USA
