Free The Tone Overdriveland ODL-1-CS
Free The Tone · pedal
The Free The Tone Overdriveland ODL-1-CS shares the same Dumble Overdrive Special-inspired dual-channel circuit as the ODL-1A-CS, including the ROCK/JAZZ switch for altering Normal channel gain and frequency character and the GLASS switch for bypassing the Tone circuit, with independent Normal and Drive channel level controls. As the base custom shop version in the Overdriveland line, it delivers the same rich, distinctive Dumble-inspired tone that took Yuki Hayashi over three years and roughly ten prototypes to develop, refined from over two decades of hands-on Dumble amp experience.
