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 uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Overdrive

Uses moderate clipping and gain-dependent compression to add harmonics while retaining much of the original note contour. Bass filtering, mid emphasis, clipping symmetry and available headroom decide whether it sounds open and amplifier-like, tightly focused or heavily saturated.
