Spectacularly versatile overdrive. The Electro Harmonix Operation Overlord Overdrive is suited to multiple instruments. Delivering rich stereo overdrive and distortion with an incredibly wide range of sonic characteristics the Operation Overlord features an intuitive set of controls that make it easy to dial in that perfect tone. Operation Overlords Normal mode uses three JFET gain stages to produce a tube amp-style response and tone whilst the Boost mode adds that classic pedal-style overdrive circuit before the JFET stages for even dirtier sound capabilities. The pedals interface consists of a three position switch that lets you select the correct input level for your instrument along with active Treble Mid and Bass controls plus a Dry Blend control for exceptional tone sculpting. Being fully stereo capable the Operation Overlord is a perfect addition to any musicians arsenal regardless of instrument.

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.

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.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
