Golden Pearl
An overdrive pedal with switchable LED, diode, or no-clipping voicings and a 3-position high-frequency-cut switch for dialing the tone to any amp.
About this pedal
Golden Pearl pairs responsive gain and tone controls with a three-position high-frequency-cut switch to tailor the pedal to your amp, plus a clipping selector for LED, diode, or no-clipping voicings — usable as a drive into an already-dirty amp or to push a clean amp into semi-broken-up territory. Built in the USA.
