Members Speed_Racer71 Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 i wonder if you can have the "tone" circuit bypassed on an OD pedal...the only od ive owned that didnt change the sound hardly any was a stock maxon od808 and the dod yjm i just bought doesnt change it hardly at all either, course the yjm doesnt have a tone control on it anyway ..but ya;ll know what i mean...

Members MrSage Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 You want an overdrive that's "transparent." Do a quick search for "transparent overdrive" and you'll come up with a ton of examples of boutique pedals that don't alter the overall tone. Tube Screamers are particularly notorious for increasing the mid-range frequencies, although there are modifications that Keeley and Analogman can do to reduce this so-called "mid-hump." There are also a lot of pedals out there that specialize in preserving your guitar and amp tone without coloring it much at all. Check out the Zoom PD-01, for one inexpensive example. They're discontinued, but you can find them on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
