Diamond Peak Hybrid Over Drive

OVERDRIVE

Description

One of the most famous sounds in all of rock music is the famous “distorted but transparent” tone that was created with the 1960s/1970s era UK made tube amps with a compact pedal. Our new Diamond Peak Hybrid Overdrive takes a page from this book, crafting real rock tones focused upon that “brink of distortion” style of overdrive while adding crucial midrange components designed to cut through any band or mix. Our latest version of the Diamond Peak Hybrid OD has improved access to the footswitch by placing it to the front right spot on the pedal, while also making it easier to change the battery when needed. The art has been upgraded, and the circuit has been fine-tuned and expanded to work well with a wider range of guitars and amplifiers. Based on our Major Overdrive, we dropped the gain and expanded the headroom of the circuit. The distortion in the signal has presence while being light gain. And when you raise the gain gradually, the tone stays powerful and does not get muddy. The TONE control allows you to dial in the top end to match with a wide range of amplifiers and guitars. If you turn it down on lower settings, a darker tone is created that can be useful for bright guitars and amps. Each nuance of the sound created by the DPHO is finely detailed, with a sound that allows you to hear every note of complex chords, even with heavier gain settings. The tone is beautifully balanced with a crisp cutting edge made by immediate attack dynamics. You can hear and feel every touch of the pick or finger on your strings. Very dynamic, the Diamond Peak Hybrid OD is a pedal that adds expression to your sound with your volume control, picking dynamics, and tone of your guitar. Add your playing and passion and you have a perfect mix. It’s all the best things about tube amplifiers from the classic days with that light distortion that sounds “pushed” and exciting – get this tone anytime with our DPHO.
