Description
Overview
The Electro-Harmonix OD Glove Overdrive is a versatile MOSFET-based overdrive and distortion pedal designed to deliver a rich, overtone-laden sound that maintains clarity even at high gain levels. Engineered for responsiveness, the OD Glove allows guitarists to transition seamlessly from a sparkling clean boost to a gritty “brown” crunch, and finally to a thick, saturated hi-gain distortion.
Key Details
- MOSFET Circuitry: Utilizes MOSFET technology to provide a natural, tube-like response and harmonic richness.
- Tone Shift Switch: Includes a dedicated Tone Shift toggle for surgical sound sculpting and frequency adjustment.
- Dual Voltage Capability: Features selectable 9V or 18V internal voltage to alter headroom and saturation characteristics.
- True Bypass: Ensures your signal remains pure and unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
- Rugged Construction: Housed in a tough, compact die-cast chassis built for professional touring and stage use.
Use Cases
- Clean Boosting: Use low gain settings to add a touch of warmth and volume to your clean tone.
- Classic Rock Crunch: Dial in the mid-range for a “brown” sound ideal for hard rock and blues.
- High-Gain Lead: Crank the saturation for thick, sustaining distortion perfect for soloing and heavy riffs.
- Tonal Shaping: Use the Tone Shift switch to cut through a dense mix or to mellow out harsh high-end frequencies.
Installation
The OD Glove is a standard stompbox pedal. To install, place the pedal on your pedalboard and connect your instrument to the input jack and your amplifier or next pedal to the output jack using standard 1/4″ TS cables. Power the unit using a 9V battery (included) or a compatible 9V DC power supply. For those seeking increased headroom, the internal voltage can be switched to 18V.
Compatibility
The OD Glove Overdrive is compatible with any electric guitar and amplifier. It works effectively in any signal chain, whether placed at the beginning of your board as a primary gain stage or after other boosters to add saturation.
