OVERDRIVE

A discrete overdrive pedal that does not use opamps or diode clipping. Instead, it relies on cascading transistor gain stages to create a rich and textured overdrive sound. This pedal is designed to help musicians achieve their ideal overdrive tone, whether they are using a clean or dirty amplifier. Key Features Analog Design: The pedal is entirely analog, providing a warm and natural sound that many musicians prefer over digital alternatives. Cascading Transistor Gain Stages: This design allows for a wide range of overdrive tones, from vintage pushed clean sounds to modern, saturated overdrive. Controls: Level: Adjusts the overall output volume. Start low and increase to taste. Drive: Controls the amount of overdrive and saturation; interacts with other controls for a customized sound. Tone: Balances the EQ, allowing for more treble or bass depending on the setting. Body: Adjusts the low-end presence, tightening or thickening the tone as needed. Bias: Controls the internal bias voltage, affecting the gain and texture of the sound. Low bias offers a vintage feel, while high bias provides a thicker, modern tone. True Bypass Relay Switching: Ensures that the pedal does not color the tone when not in use. Overvoltage Protection: Safeguards the pedal from power surges, enhancing durability. Usage The CSOF is versatile enough for various musical styles, making it suitable for guitarists and bassists alike. It can be used to create everything from subtle overdrive to heavy distortion, depending on the settings and the amplifier used.
