JCraft X Perf De Castro DBD Delay Boost Drive Pedal

The JCraft DBD is a collaborative creation between Perf De Castro and JCraft, designed to deliver an all-in-one, single-pedal solution that meets a wide range of musical needs.

At its core, the DBD features a versatile Super Overdrive-inspired red channel that delivers everything from subtle grit to full-blown crunch. Paired with it is a lush, analog-style delay built on a musical bucket-brigade circuit, perfect for adding depth and texture.

What truly expands the pedal’s utility is its powerful clean boost, capable of pushing your signal by up to +35 dB. Whether you're stepping into a solo or pushing a tube amp into rich saturation, the boost has you covered.

A standout feature of the DBD is the ability to engage both the delay and boost simultaneously—ideal for soaring, expressive solos that cut through any mix.

This isn't just a signature pedal—it's a practical, gig-ready tool for any player, from beginners exploring their tone to seasoned musicians looking for a compact, versatile addition to their rig.
