The reviews are in...

If you’re on the hunt for a pedal that brings both bite and brains to your board, the Raven Overdrive from Pedalborn might just be your next tone-shaping weapon.

With a crystal-clear high-end output and an impressive level of transparency, this beast delivers everything from a subtle push to full-throttle grit without ever compromising your core tone.

The Raven handles traditional overdrive duties like a pro, but where it really shines is in it’s versatility, when it’s driving the amp or acting as your ‘always on-tone’, this pedal’s got range.

With four finely-tuned control knobs, you can dial in everything from tight treble boosts to warm low-end thud, all with laser-like precision. Cut or boost, this thing responds with the kind of control you’d expect from a high-end studio EQ.

Build-wise, it doesn't mess around. The rugged metal enclosure feels like it could survive a tour van crash, and the true bypass switching and solid-feeling foot switch adds to its road-ready cred.

While it pairs beautifully with fuzz, pushing or tightening your gain just right, the Raven can absolutely stand on it’s own. Whether you're riffing in the practice room or crafting your next personal masterpiece, this overdrive is pure tonal inspiration in a box.

My verdict: The Raven Overdrive is a versatile, pro-grade tool that packs both finesse and fury. A must-try for any serious tone chaser.

Kempton International Guitar Show

What a day! Our second time at the London International Guitar Show at Kempton and, once again, it did not disappoint. The halls were buzzing with familiar faces and fresh talent, all sharing the same obsession with tone, craftsmanship, and the next big thing in guitar gear. 

From custom luthiers showing off jaw-dropping builds to boutique legends like Chandlers Guitar Experience—who, we’re thrilled to say, were stocking Pedalborn gear for the very first time—there was no shortage of temptation. Sadly, there wasn’t much time to hunt for bargains because we were flat out! Why? Because this was the day we officially unleashed the Raven Overdrive.

Watching players—young guns and seasoned pros alike—plug in and explore the combination of the Stormcaller and our brand-new Raven Overdrive was pure magic. There’s nothing quite like seeing someone’s face light up as they discover how seamlessly our pedals slot into their existing rig and unlock new shades of tone.

By the end of the show, we were floored (and a little stunned) to realise we’d completely sold out of Ravens. Don’t panic, though—back at Pedalborn HQ, we’ve already fired up the soldering irons and built more. The Raven Overdrive is now available to order.

Oh, and one last thing: whoever was running the food stand—those bacon baguettes deserve their own award.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, jammed, and shared their stories. We can’t wait to see you all again next time.
