Brian's take on the elusive "D" sound and much, much, more...
The Euphoria Overdrive is a very capable pedal. Designed to do a huge
range of sounds but never to overpower your fundamental tone, this is
the drive for people who know they have a good guitar and know they
have a quality amp, but want to take it farther, make it better – without
sacrificing any of the great things that they already get from their setup.
Flexibility comes from three distinct options for the drive method, and
as a result the drive tone. The design of the tone controls offers simplic-
ity and power combined. Your new Euphoria Overdrive will take you
places that are familiar, but distinct.
Your fundamental sound will be preserved, but your tone will be greatly
enhanced, and the power to determine in just what ways is all at your
fingertips. All this, built into a pedal which is capable among other
things of achieving a sound highly reminscent of those famous "D"
amps...
Is it any wonder we call it Euphoria?
To get the most out of your new pedal, you'll want to become very
familiar with the controls. The Euphoria Overdrive is not difficult to
learn, but it will reward time spent understanding how the controls
interact and how the different drive modes contribute their own take on
the sound. It is a complete tonal package, and includes a true-bypass
footswitch for signal purity, plus all the control you need for a great
non-bypassed signal: knobs for Gain, Volume, Tone, Bass, and a
three-way switch to adjust between gain modes, labeled Smooth,
Open, and Crunch. We'll spend some time explaining the Tone and Bass
controls, as they have a huge amount of sound-shaping potential and
it's important to understand how they work, and of course you need to
know about the three different gain modes to get the most out of the
pedal. Experiment and enjoy!
