Key Features
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 Overlord's 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 pedal's 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 musician's arsenal, regardless of instrument.
Product Ref: 92383
The Operation Overlord enables you to use the pedal in two modes: Normal, or Boost. The Normal mode uses three JFET gain stages to achieve a tube amp-style overdrive for low to medium gain sounds. When in Normal mode, you can use the Gain control to determine the precise amount of overdrive you desire. The Boost mode engages a classic pedal-style overdrive circuit before the JFET stages for increasing the overall distortion and dirt.
The Boost mode can be engaged via the Boost footswitch, and is active when the blue LED is lit. In Boost mode, both the Gain and Boost knobs are active, and the Boost knob controls how much additional gain is fed into the main JFET circuit. The Boost circuit can also be configured to operate on its own without the JFET gain stages, by locating the slide switch inside the pedal and sliding it to the option labeled "BOOST INDEPENDENT." This disables the Gain and Boost control knobs and allows the other controls to function normally when only the blue LED is lit, and the red LED is not. Engaging the normal mode (noticeable by the red LED being lit), the pedal will function as normal.
