Steve Lukather is the original guitar player for Toto. He has played the GAS-789SL for years and now also the SL-OD Overdrive in front of his overdriven / distorted amplifiers to make the sound even faster, with a smoother overdrive sounding without changing the basic sound.

Two Overdrives (Low Gain and High Gain) + Boost (Clean boost) with +20dB boost (toggle switch) in one box – three separate bass boost (toggle switches) for each pedal to push the lower frequencies without getting muddy, the pedal couldn’t be more variable.

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.

Tags

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
