Description
The Aclam Cinnamon Drive - Dreamer Edition is a versatile overdrive that can go from a clean, touch-sensitive boost to full-on distortion, all with a tone and feel inspired by the tube amplifiers that shaped rock and roll. Designed by Aclam Guitars in Barcelona, the Cinnamon Drive is an original circuit that has been a favorite for nearly six years, and the Dreamer Edition gives it a new psychedelic look while keeping the same sound underneath.
The goal behind the Cinnamon Drive is to recreate the way a vintage tube amp behaves when it's pushed hard, with plenty of dynamics and a natural, responsive character. It uses dual-stage clipping circuits, which helps it stay articulate and expressive across a very wide range of gain settings. Aclam describes it as one of the overdrives with the widest dynamic range, covering everything from the gritty, raw sound of a Neil Young riff to the heavier tones of classic hard rock. Despite all that range, it keeps the control layout simple, so you can dial in sounds quickly without a lot of fiddling.
