Finding That Tone
Japan 1986 (Sakura)
Report incorrect information
The JAPAN 1986 Classic Overdrive is a tribute to the legendary TS10, faithfully recreating its smooth, melodic take on the iconic mid-focused overdrive sound. Built with NOS components and based closely on the original circuit, it delivers the familiar “mid-hump” character with subtle refinements that made the TS10 unique. Modern upgrades such as soft-switching true bypass and heavy-duty hardware improve reliability while preserving vintage tone and feel.
Inspired by players like Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer, the pedal celebrates the cultural legacy of this classic overdrive. Handcrafted in Spain, each unit features a custom enclosure wrapped in authentic Japanese fabrics, honoring the pedal’s origins and blending vintage tone with artistry, craftsmanship, and heritage.
