CHAPTER TIMESTAMPS AND LINKS BELOW.

Lollar Pickups partnered with Japanese pedal maker KGR Harmony Effects to create a limited run of Lollar Overdrive pedals housed in a unique cast iron enclosure. Featuring Volume and Gain controls, as well as a built-in 3-band EQ, this overdrive pedal is as versatile as it is beautiful to look at! Only 100 pedals will be available for the public to purchase, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. We have no plans to offer them again in the foreseeable future.

Last autumn KGR owner and pedal designer Keijiro Fukushima visited our shop to meet with the Lollar crew and share with us some of his creations. The sonic possibilities of his effects pedals impressed us—as did the beautiful enclosures Keijiro built to house the pedals.

After playing through several pedals, we zeroed in on his Overdrive pedal. While our pickups are renowned for their tone when played straight into an amplifier, we know that many—if not most—of our customers ultimately add effects to their signal chain, with overdrive being one of the most commonly used. We played a wide variety of our pickups through Keijiro’s overdrive pedal and felt it was the perfect platform for Lollar/KGR collaboration.

To build his enclosures, Keijiro uses a centuries-old forging technique called nambu-tekki. Nambu-tekki is a craft that is closely associated with Japan’s Iwate prefecture and is best known for producing beautiful cast-iron teapots. Using a forge that has been in operation for over 200 years, Keijiro adapted this technique to create the beautiful enclosures he uses for his effects pedals. Now, modern technology and ancient craftsmanship have come together to make our limited-run Lollar Overdrive pedal!

Regardless of the pickups you have in your guitar - Strat, Tele, P-90, humbucker, or even bass pickups - we believe that the Lollar Overdrive pedal will be a useful addition to any guitar player’s toolbox when crafting their personal tone. And, damn, it looks so cool!
