Digitech DOD-LOOKINGGLASS Looking Glass Overdrive Pedal

If the classic Dirty Little Secret MKIII is your war-tested Marshall plexi sidearm, Catalinbread’s DLS Red is a finely-tuned and well-oiled (figuratively, of course) gain machine that we distilled into a more potent and volatile formula.Featuring a more refined set of gain stages that cuts through the low-mids of the original and brings you an extended barrage of punch and clarity, the DLS Red calls shotgun in the truck that is your pedalboard’s dirt section. Catalinbread’s flagship DLS circuitry has been modified to give you more of everything you love about the original with a touch more blistering, amp-smashing gain across both modes, as well as a more hi-fi EQ section and a fully-balanced—yet still very much Marshall—tonal profile.Power SupplyYou can power your DLS with any quality power supply designed for use with effects pedals. The output should be a negative tip DC from 9 to 18 volts. If you want more volume, headroom, and percussive attack, try running an 18-volt power supply. A nine-volt power supply will have a slightly softer sound that saturates more easily—it's sort of like the difference between a 50 watt and 100 watt amp!

The Catalinbread RAH is designed to deliver guitarists an incredible dynamic range that responds to picking hand and/or volume knob. Like a good amplifier, the RAH is very uncompressed, which means there is little to hide behind. This pedal is for players who appreciate the rewards and experience of a WIDE dynamic response.ErgonomicsThis overdrive effects pedal features the specific three-knob tone circuit straight from the custom Jimmy Page model Hiwatt. Like most traditional amp EQ circuits, the knobs are interactive, meaning turning one can alter the behavior of the other. The magic is getting the Mid and Bass controls dialed in together. Tweak those until you get the right tone for your guitar and amp. You'll notice that the Treble knob is fairly subtle, adding a bit of bite as it is turned up. If you scoop the Mid and turn up the Bass however, the Treble knob will seem a lot more active.

Cut through the mix and dial in any raunchy, raw tone you desire with the DigiTech DOD Looking Glass Overdrive Pedal. Step through the Looking Glass into a new world of overdrive. Dial in the ideal reflection of your sound with a set of powerful, yet simple controls. You can keep things simple and use the Looking Glass for tone shaping, glassy boost, and light overdrive, or go further down the rabbit hole into the raw, psychedelic sounds of a vintage amp pushed to the brink of failure. Featuring a new hybrid of Class-A discrete FET design, the Looking Glass’ asymmetrical clipping is so responsive that it can go from one end of the spectrum to the other with not only a flick of a switch but with a pick attack alone.Boutique Pedal CraftThe Looking Glass Overdrive is collaboration between DOD and the boutique pedal company SHOE Pedals. Christopher Venter of SHOE Pedals is known for his unique circuits, colorful perspective on classic effects, and minimalist design aesthetic.Versatile Tone ControlBuilt for maximum versatility, the Looking Glass’ unique Input Filter feature allows the player to tame overly bright guitars and interacts with your guitar’s pickups to help you cut through the mix without shredding the audience’s ears. The versatile, intuitive pre-drive Bass Cut and post-drive Treble controls allow you to retain clarity in the mix or dial in any raunchy raw tone you desire. And, there’s enough output and gain on tap to make even the Red Queen lose her head.Pure Bypass ClarityThe Looking Glass is a true bypass, which allows your guitar tone to remain pristine even when it is off and the power supply input makes it pedalboard-friendly.Versatile, Intuitive Pre-Drive Bass Cut and Post-Drive Treble ControlsAllows you to retain clarity in the mix or dial in any raunchy raw tone you desire.Unique Input Filter ControlAllows the player to tame overly bright guitars and interacts with your guitar’s pickups to help you cut through the mix without shredding the audience’s ears. Shape your tone from glassy boost and light overdrive to the psychedelic sounds of a vintage amp pushed to the brink of failure.Internal DIP SwitchesThe Looking Glass’ Input Filter control is passive and interacts nicely with your guitar’s electronics when not using a buffer in front of it. However, when using buffered pedals before the Looking Glass you may want to adjust the two internal DIP switches to darken the tone further. The left DIP switch increases the input impedance of the pedal. The right DIP switch engages a darker voicing of the Input Filter.Level ControlThis control is used to set the output level of the pedal.Gain ControlThis control is used to control the intensity of overdrive or distortion. Turn left for less distortion.Treble ControlThis control allows the player to turn down high frequencies after the main distortion stages of the pedal.Input Filter ControlThis control allows the player to tame overly bright guitar and tailor the attack and midrange.Bass Cut ControlThis control allows the player to reduce bass response before the distortion stages of the pedal to retain clarity and further adjust the pedal's gain response.High or Low Gain SwitchThe Looking Glass offers two different overdrive modes. The Low mode is used for clean tone shaping, light compression, and lower gain overdrive. The High mode picks up roughly where the Low mode leaves off by boosting the pedal and allows you to dial in Low to High gain overdrive sounds that remain highly touch sensitive through the range.

With the Electro-Harmonix Operation Overlord Allied Overdrive, whether you play guitar, bass, keyboards, or pretty much any electronic instrument - dialing in great drive sounds is fast and foolproof. Active 3-band EQ controls, footswitchable BOOST mode, and a dry blend provide versatility for different tones and instruments. The OVERLORD also features two independent distortion channels for use with stereo setups. Whatever your rig, the Overlord is your indispensable ally. Controls The GAIN knob controls the amount of overdrive and distortion. As you turn GAIN clockwise, the amount of input gain increases. The BOOST knob controls the amount of extra gain fed into the main circuit when the BOOST and NORMAL modes are engaged (both LEDs lit). As BOOST is turned clockwise, the amount of distortion increases. The DRY knob mixes a clean unaltered signal with the distortion produced by the OVERLORD. At the minimum position of the DRY knob, the output is 100 percent overdrive effect, and at the maximum position, the output is 100 percent clean. This function is useful for preserving the harmonic integrity of your playing, which is especially useful for keyboards or bass. For guitarists, this feature can be useful if you are stacking the OVERLORD with other drive pedals, or are playing it through an overdriven amplifier. The INPUT LVL switch controls the overall input level of your instrument into the OVERLORD. Use it to set an appropriate gain level for a variety of instruments. Set the switch to HI for low-level instruments, like a single-coil guitar or vintage electric piano. Set the switch to NORM for humbucker guitars and most modern keyboard workstations. Use the LO setting for high-output instruments, like some synthesizers or boosted guitars. BASS Knob provides active control of the level of the bass frequency range. MID Knob provides active control of the level of the middle-frequency range. TREBLE Knob gives active control of the level of the treble frequency range. VOL Knob controls the overall volume output of the OVERLORD. As this knob is turned clockwise, the output level increases. BYPASS Footswitch and red LED selects whether the OVERLORD is engaged or in buffered bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the red LED will be lit. BOOST Footswitch and blue LED toggles Boost mode on and off. When in Boost mode, the blue LED will be lit.

The Catalinbread Formula 5F6 Classic Tweed Bassman Foundation Overdrive Pedal is a take on the classic tweed Bassman-style amplifier from the late 1950s. The Formula 5F6 adds vintage tweed Bassman response to the brand's range of Foundation Overdrives, giving you the awesome characteristics of this classic amp into any clean amp. Adding Formula 5F6 to your rig will solve all these problems and will become the foundation of your pedalboard, the pedal that will enhance the response of all your other pedals.Gain KnobThe Gain knob controls the gain, but circuit-wise, it is identical to the Bright Volume control on the tweed Bassman. So, turned down low, you will get those great sparkly cleans, turned up midway or so, and you will get that elusive touch-sensitive response where you can play clean or dirty just by varying your picking attack. And cranked up, you will get the gain structure of a Bassman on 12, thick and overdriven, but still sounding very California. Unlike the amp, turning the Gain down does not turn off the sound.VolumeThis is the master volume that controls the output of the pedal. The lower you set the Gain knob, the higher you would want to run the Volume. For the best clean and on edge-of-breakup response, turn the Volume up and start with the Gain control at a minimum and then slowly bring up the Gain control to the desired response. This will give you the most authentic Bassman experience. In general, for best results, the pedal should be set to be slightly louder when on compared to bypass.Presence TrimpotThere is a trimpot (accessible by removing the bottom plate) that allows you to fine-tune the amount of presence or high treble frequencies that the pedal produces. It is factory set to provide the best tone in most circumstances. However, everyone has different guitars, amps, and tastes, so we've given you control over the final brightness of the pedal. We recommend that you don't adjust the presence trimpot until you've spent a good amount of time with the Formula 5F6 in your rig.Mode SwitchIt is time to talk about the Secret Lead mode! There is a switch inside that switches between Stock Bassman and Secret Lead mode. It will transform Formula 5F6 from vintage low-gain goodness into a fire-breathing monster from California! The gain gets pushed up, and the tone stack is reconfigured to a new voice that has a bright edge with plenty of fullness. The mode switch can be accessed by removing the four screws of the bottom plate. It is located at the top corner of the pedal. It's a tight fit to get fingers in there, so a small flat-blade screwdriver can be used to access the switch.AmplifiersThe Formula 5F6 works best in a tube guitar amp set relatively clean and neutral. However, it can work great to further overdrive an amp that is already overdriven as well, although this was not its design intention. If you are running a Fender-style amp, try setting the tone controls as follows Treble 6, Middle (if your amp has it) 6, Bass 3, and Volume between 2-4. This is generally the best response from a Fender amp and the basic settings used in the development lab when voicing the pedals.Power SupplyYou can power your Formula 5F6 with any quality power supply designed for use with effects pedals. The output should be a negative tip DC from 9 to 18 volts. If you want more volume, headroom, and percussive attack, try running an 18-volt power supply. A 9-volt power supply will have a slightly softer sound that saturates more easily. It is like the difference between a 50-watt and a 100-watt amp. You can also try a battery that is drained down to as little as 3-4 volts to get an even softer sound that is great for late-night jam sessions when you don't want to wake anyone up!
