Electro-Harmonix Spruce Goose Overdrive Effects Pedal

Lift off with the Electro-Harmonix Spruce Goose Overdrive effects pedal, an elevated take on a Bluesbreaker-style OD with a smooth, rich breakup that retains clarity and dynamics. The Spruce Goose soars with a host of new features, including a LIFT switch accessing 3 input gain settings, additional output, and expanded EQ to send your tone flying. From meaty boost to smooth singing leads, the Spruce Goose steers your tone into a variety of inspiring and musical directions.

The engine of the Spruce Goose is an overdrive circuit renowned for its natural breakup and amp-like response. This circuit is then elevated to new heights by the LIFT switch, which selects between 3 levels of input gain. LIFT effectively works as an input boost, goosing the front end of the drive circuit, hitting harder and producing a more compressed, saturated tone while still retaining its dynamic feel and transparent tone. GAIN and VOL knobs adjust for exact drive and output levels. EQ of the pedal consists of a TREBLE knob for taming topping and an active BASS knob to cut or boost bass frequencies. BASS is especially helpful for adding girth to single-coil guitars or tightening the low end on warmer humbucker guitars.

The Spruce Goose also features mechanical relay true bypass switching with latching and momentary action. Tap the footswitch for a normal latching toggle or press and hold the footswitch for a momentary blast of gain and boost. Great for stepping out in front of the mix for pulling quick lick or moment of sonic chaos.
