A long time ago, we released a savage, amp melting overdrive called the SuperCharged Overdrive. After letting this one hibernate a bit, it’s back but now it’s got some new tricks. The circuit has been retooled to provide a more dynamic gain range and a tilt equalizer that really lets the gain breathe. Combined with an amp-like resonance control, the new SCOD is back with a vengeance.
This is one of our original “non-foundational” overdrive from Catalinbread’s early days, a balls-out, juicy dirt circuit with a unique circuit topology, even now! The SCOD was initially designed around a “mystery IC,” back when you could get away with that kind of thing. But now that players demand a little more from their pedal lore, the SCOD is equipped with eight MOSFET devices, all stacked into one another and optimally tuned for a truly inspiring bottom-heavy crunch. Fans of Catalinbread from the early days might remember the SCOD as a three-knob device, but we’ve found that the addition of a tilt equalizer dramatically expands the tonal palette of the original. And since the Contour knob functions as a addition-by-subtraction mids control, the range of the pedal has opened up immensely. It’s a favorite around here and we think you will think so too.
