Electro Harmonix Operation Overlord

Electro Harmonix Operation Overlord is an advanced, full-featured stereo overdrive and distortion pedal. With the pedal’s broad range of options and controls you can dial in great drive sounds for keyboards, synths, guitars, basses, and more.

Active 3-band EQ controls, footswitchable Boost mode, and a dry blend provide versatility for different tones and instruments. The pedal also features two independent distortion channels for use with stereo setups. Whatever your rig, use the OVERLORD to dial in your tonal inspiration.

The pedal operates in two modes: Normal and Boost. The Normal  mode uses three amp-like JFET gain stages for low to medium gain sounds. When in this mode, use the Gain knob to control the amount of overdrive. The Boost mode adds a classic pedal-style overdrive circuit before the JFET stages to increase overall distortion.

Boost  is engaged with the Footswitch and is active when the blue LED is lit. In this mode, both the Gain and Boost knobs are active, and the Boost knob controls how much additional gain from the circuit is fed into the main JFET circuit.
