Just pedals are excited to share the latest New Overdrive Pedals by Caroline Guitar Company, the Caroline Icarus 2.1 Overdrive Pedal Overdrive Pedals is a great Overdrive choice for new and experienced guitarists alike.. Read More below for more images, videos and latest UK prices from the Caroline Guitar Company brand, delivered by a UK retailer, with warranty & more. The Icarus is a buffer booster and drive pedal built around vintage Soviet preamp flavour. Using a trio of simple controls—Gain Highs and Output—it delivers everything from a clean warm lift to fizzy harmonic crunch that edges into fuzz territory. Crank the gain and ride the output or dial it back for subtle push and sparkle. Its a surprisingly flexible little box with a whole lot of character. Inside discontinued Russian “unobtanium” diodes bring a unique bite and texture to the tone inspired by Carolines revered Parabola and Météore preamp sections. Theres also an internal switch to toggle between buffered and true bypass making it a perfect fit for modern pedalboards. And with up to +12dB of output boost on tap even with gain at zero itll happily slam your amp or stack with other drives. Its loud raw and a bit unhinged—in the best possible way.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals recreate the sound of an amplifier being pushed harder, adding warmth, breakup and sustain while still responding naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. They are one of the most important and widely used pedal types in modern guitar rigs.

Different overdrive circuits offer very different flavours, from transparent low-gain boost-style pedals through to mid-focused classic rock tones and heavier amp-like saturation.
