From the late 19th century through the 1950s, Chicago was the powerhouse of American musical instrument manufacturing. Among the most active makers was the Regal Musical Instrument Company. Descended from an Indianapolis business, Regal made a full complement of stringed instruments for a variety of brands. Along the way, the company even introduced a few new musical novelties into the market. This book is an addendum to Regal Musical Instruments: 1895-1955 and includes previously unused sources, including period catalogs and many illustrations along with color photos taken specifically for this publication.

The hard-clipping, op-amp-based circuit of the ODD (Over Drive Disorder) delivers all of the sounds of a cranked, saturated tube amp made famous in legendary recordings. True to its inspiration, the ODD is perfect for adding a little breakup to an otherwise clean tone, or dramatically transforming your clean pedal-platform amp into a punk-rock powerhouse. To accurately deliver this popular modern tone, the ODD is built like an iconic pedalboard staple with through-hole construction using premium components, including a TLO82CP Op-Amp, 2N7000 transistors, & hand-selected capacitors & resistors. Featuring classic-inspired controls & sounds, including a UK/US Switch, the ODD can quickly flip personalities. Engaging the UK setting distorts earlier, bumps the upper-mids, and increases volume – giving this setting more of a cranked, “chimey” amplifier tone. The US setting has a little more clean headroom, allowing the ODD to act more like a boost at first, and better aligns with traditional tweed-based “edge of breakup” amplifier tones.
