Overdrive pedals use soft or hard clipping to add breakup, harmonic density and sustain while usually retaining more pick response than heavier distortion. A low-gain circuit can act as an always-on preamp or push an amplifier; a higher-gain design may supply its own compressed voice. Gain, tone, bass, presence, output and clipping options decide how the pedal stacks with other drives. The same pedal can sound open into a clean valve amp and congested into a saturated preamp, so judge it at the level and with the speakers it will actually meet.

Designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression or drive.
Uses stronger or more deliberate clipping than a typical overdrive, adding harmonics, compression and sustain. The circuit may be voiced for amp-like crunch, high gain, or a deliberately abrasive texture.
