DOD Looking Glass Overdrive Pedal

Product Information

A one-year warranty is included, which seemed a bit short compared with other popular pedals. Price DOD Looking Glass!! Great country break-up sound and very transparent distortion!! You need this on your board!!! #dig_it by Digitech Because of how the pedal produces its gain you always get a beautiful amp like gain. With the gain down low you get clean and low gain boost tones that don't overly colour your amplifier. Crank it up a few notches and you start to get some extremely powerful gain tones that respond like an old vintage amp pushed beyond where it is comfortable. Think Jimi Hendrix era psychedelic tones and you are in the right ball park for what this pedal can do. Years ago, when I was living in Brooklyn, I went on a quest to find the overdrive that worked for me. Most of these were slight variations on a few classic op-amp designs that just didn't do it for me. I tried a ridiculous number of pedals and found that I wasn't fully happy with any of them. So, having originally resolved only to make weird experimental fuzz pedals, I decided to break that rule and create a really nice overdrive that I actually wanted to play. After starting with a theory and refining it through extensive play-testing, I concocted the Savior Machine and named it after one of my favourite David Bowie songs. From the face of the pedal, the top two knobs are Level and Gain. These require no explanation. The bottom two knobs, however, are less obvious. The bottom left knob is a dual-concentric design, with the top knob adjusting treble attenuation of the sound and the bottom knob providing an input signal bass cut. The right bottom knob is an input filter, which allows you to pepper the guitar’s midrange sound coming in based on what you are hearing coming out.

DOD Looking Glass overdrive. Great for your main overdrive or add it to another pedal!! #dig_it by Digitech 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. Built for gigs.

We felt for the clean channel, the boost was unnecessary and made the sound slightly cluttered and abrupt. Even diming out the gain and peppering the bottom two knobs, we felt this pedal wasn’t mated well to this channel. The dimed-out gain in the low gain setting sounded akin to a Fender twin pushed to breakup . We understand some of our readers will relish this sound, though, and it was well suited to a Beatles-esque application.

The DOD Looking Glass is a very interesting overdrive as its Class A FET design and asymmetrical gain stage make it more like a preamp for your amplifier than a traditional overdrive.
