B Custom Cool
The Barber B Custom Cool is a true one-of-a-kind overdrive pedal, born from a collaboration between Barber Electronics and acclaimed blues guitarist Monster Mike Welch. Designed to capture the searing, amp-like tone that Welch coaxes from his smaller club rigs, the Custom Cool delivers rich, organic overdrive with an impressive level of detail and nuance. At its heart, the Custom Cool is all about versatility. A clever "smooth/crunchy" switch allows you to toggle between a smooth, singing overdrive and a grittier, more aggressive crunch - perfect for everything from blues-rock leads to full-bodied rhythm work. The three-band EQ section gives you precise control over your tone, letting you sculpt the perfect sound for any playing situation. But the Custom Cool's real magic lies in its touch sensitivity and dynamic response. Dig in with your picking hand, and the pedal responds with a surge of harmonically-complex gain that tracks your attack with remarkable authenticity. Ease off, and the overdrive cleans up beautifully, giving you an impressive range of tones from a single stomp. Whether you're chasing the scorching leads of Stevie Ray Vaughan or the soulful rhythm work of Welch himself, the Barber B Custom Cool is a truly special overdrive that brings the sound and feel of a cranked tube amp right to your pedalboard. It's a must-try for any guitarist seeking that elusive "perfect" overdrive tone.
