An IC-based overdrive effect pedal, the Kalamazoo Overdrive offers the usual level and drive knobs, that let you set the amount of overdrive delivered, from a soft warm overdrive to a more serious distortion tone. But what makes the Kalamazoo Overdrive different and interesting are its two tone knobs, that will allow you to equalize your already overdriven sound in a really interesting way. The Glass knob offers treble boost, giving your sound more presence in the highs frequencies and bringing it to the foreground when playing lead guitars or even reducing or eliminating the cable losses that appear at high frequencies due to the capacitive nature of guitar wires. The Kalamazoo Overdrive‘s tone knob works in series with the glass knob to soften things in the ‘presence’ area.

Lovely to deal with, and the kit arrived promptly. It is a gift, so I haven’t tried it out, but it looks perfect. I’m excited to see how it works out.
