PB&J Pedals out of North Carolina have been cranking out some great pedals recently, if you haven’t heard of these guys yet. We’ve reviewed their Surf Drive, Viper Drive and Billy Goat Fuzz, all of which were great pedals, and today we’ve got another one for the books: the Sweet Clarity Junior Drive.

This particular pedal is a slimmed-down version of PB&J‘s larger Sweet Clarity Overdrive, which has a few more options than the Junior. It has a broad range of sounds, too, from a nice, subtle transparent drive tone to a thick and meaty overdrive that can really push your amp. The Overdrive knob has a wide range, which is always welcome in any drive pedal, as far as I’m concerned, and the EQ section is fabulous. Set the Bass and Treble knobs around 1 or 2:00, and the Sweet Clarity Junior will give you full-bodied equalization, with a nice mix of lows and highs. Turn down the Treble and crank the Bass up a little bit more, and your tone will dive bomb into a swampy, sludgy, stoner-metal sound that will have you running for your 7-string fast. Add this with the great tonal range from the Overdrive knob, and you’ve got a multitude of sonic options to choose from, all in a nice, neat enclosure that’s sure to fit in on any pedalboard.

Another killer pedal from PB&J, the Sweet Clarity Junior looks nice and clean and pretty, but it will take your signal, crush it and spit it back at your with a vengeance (if you want it to, of course). As always, thanks to Philip at PB&J Pedals for being an awesome guy and a great Donator to Pedal of the Day, we can’t thank him and all our contributors enough!
