Description
Designed with SHOE Pedals’ Christopher Venter, the Looking Glass takes DOD’s overdrive lineage and runs it through a discrete, hybrid Class-A FET circuit. The asymmetrical clipping responds directly to how hard you dig in, so you can move from a subtle glassy boost to a vintage amp pushed into meltdown territory without touching a knob—pick attack alone drives the transition.
For pedalboard builders chasing versatility in one slot, the dual gain stages (toggle-selectable) cover a wide overdrive range, from light bluesy grind to thick, raunchy distortion. The pre-drive Bass Cut and post-drive Treble controls let you shape the tone on either side of the clipping, keeping low-end tight going in and dialing in sparkle or grit coming out. An Input Filter control tames overly bright single-coils or aggressive pickups so the pedal sits well in a mix rather than fighting for space—internal DIP switches offer further control over bright signal chains and buffer interactions.
True bypass keeps your signal clean when the Looking Glass is off, and a standard 9V power supply input makes it an easy fit on any board.
