TWA Introduces Source Code Overdrive

Totally Wycked Audio (TWA) has released the Source Code™ next-gen soft-clip overdrive. The TWA Source Code is the ultimate evolution of the iconic Tube Screamer and was designed by Susumu Tamura, the creator of the legendary TS808 circuit. Drawing upon Tamura’s 50+ years of experience in the field of overdrive design, TWA’s Source Code reimagines the classic TS circuit that so many guitarists love (and some love to hate!) and launches it into the future. Since 2021, Tamura has been carefully analyzing every aspect of his enduring soft-clip circuit to optimize its performance. His newest creation builds upon the strengths of the classic “green box” while offering improvements that enhance the original circuit and expand its capabilities.
In addition to traditional Drive, Tone and Level controls, the US-made Source Code pedal includes a new “Bite” control knob for adjusting the amount of even-order harmonics present in the output signal.
