Warm Audio ODD Overdrive Box V1
Configurer
The Warm Audio ODD Box V1 is a highly versatile, all-analog overdrive pedal that faithfully replicates the tone and touch-sensitivity of a legendary, "obsessive" overdrive circuit in its highly coveted first revision. Built meticulously with premium through-hole components, including a TLO82CP op-amp and 2N7000 FETs, this pedal delivers true amp-like dynamics, responding to your picking attack and guitar volume knob with uncompromising transparency.
Dual Gain Structures: UK / US Switch
Dialing in the perfect amount of grit without masking the core tone of your instrument or suffering from mid-frequency loss is a common tracking hurdle. The ODD Box V1 tackles this directly with a dedicated UK/US toggle switch. The US mode offers a cleaner, more transparent boost with extensive headroom, perfect for pushing a clean amp into natural edge-of-breakup territory. The UK mode introduces a distinct upper-mid frequency bump, increased overall output, and an aggressive clipping structure, instantly transforming your tone into the roar of a pushed British stack.
Extended Headroom at 18V
For players tracking with high-output humbuckers or active electronics, standard 9V drive pedals often choke and over-compress the low frequencies. The ODD Box V1 operates seamlessly on either 9V or 18V DC power. Stepping up to 18V significantly increases the internal headroom of the circuit, resulting in noticeably less inherent compression, tighter low-end tracking, and a massive dynamic swing. This feature is crucial for maintaining clarity and articulation in heavy, drop-tuned riffing or complex chord voicings.
KEY FEATURES
