DOD Looking Glass Overdrive Pedal

Product Information

Built for gigs. DOD have made sure the Looking Glass is set up for countless gigs and jam sessions thanks to its sturdy and robust chassis and durable switches. Stomp as much as you like because the Looking Glass is built to handle it! Complete with modern 9v power supply compatibility, it's ready to slot into any pedalboard. Specifications Another note about the bright LED: it’s great for an outdoors gig, but we found it a bit overbearing on a very dark stage. Sound

The bass cut function subtracts bass content in the signal before it hits the pedal’s gain stage, which keeps the low-end tight, focused and airy. In a joint collaboration with boutique pedal designer, Christopher Venter, of SHOE Pedals, DOD has released an overdrive/boost pedal that goes far beyond their simpler, classic fare. Delivering clean boost, low gain grit, and high gain crunch in one 9v-powered, compact, stomp box is no easy feat, and the boutique connection here meant that this pedal needed to measure up to a higher standard. We put the Looking Glass through the paces and gave it no leeway. We stomped , we gritted, and we gained it to death. In the end, we found a very interesting pedal that is sure to appeal to a wide range of players. So… is this the distortion box for you? FeaturesA one-year warranty is included, which seemed a bit short compared with other popular pedals. Price With a touch-sensitive response and clever EQ options, the Looking Glass is a well-designed transparent overdrive pedal that will suit just about any guitar/ amp combination, clean or dirty”. The bass cut and treble controls allow you to tighten your guitar’s tone, or to let it loose for a less structured drive. The gain control determines how much you distort your sound, varying from a light layer of compression to an aggressive, raw punch emulating an amp at its brink. Whether it’s modern, vintage, light or heavy overdrive you’re looking for, the Looking Glass has it all. Boutique roots Throughout our sound testing, there was a definite sweet spot when dialing in the bottom two knobs. On any channel, we had bad, good and great tone, depending how much we used our ears and learned the function of these three control knobs. Spending a little bit of time understanding the pedal went a long way for us.

Sorry

The versatile, yet simple, pre-drive BASS CUT and post-drive TREBLE controls allow players to retain clarity in the mix or dial-in raunchy raw tones as desired, with plenty of output and gain on tap. Getting a balance between the bottom two, tone-influencing knobs proved a little challenging, but was well worth the work. Other pedals with more limited tone controls can sound quite specifically good or bad depending on the guitar and amp they are paired with. But these two controls, along with the design of the pedal, ensure that you can properly match the tone of this pedal to your specific guitar and amp combination.
