The Overdrive+ is a characterful, original, and extremely versatile design that stands out in a sea of overdrives

With an ingenious breakaway six-channel mixer that includes multiple effects with snapshot recall, amp models, an overdrive, a compressor, a tuner, a looper, Bluetooth, and even onboard recording, the ShowBox promises a lot. Can it really be all that?
