The Xiao is an overdrive pedal. It is intended for adding driven, amp-like gain and shaping the character of an electric-guitar signal.
In the current JustPedals catalogue, Xiao is represented by Distortion Pedals, Overdrive Pedals and Reverb Pedals. Current listings include AT+ Plus, Pedals 1 1 King of Tone Kot Overdrive and ARP-87 1 1. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.
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.
