Key Features
The Origin Effects RD Compact Hot Rod Overdrive downsizes one of the most powerful, richest-sounding overdrives on the market. This is mainly because this pedal is far more than an overdrive: recreating the all-analog circuitry of a hot-rodded amp, even the internal voltage rails are increased for high headroom- just like a real amp! This gives you more sustain, more gain, and more aggression. It also delivers an unparalleled level of control over your overdriven sound, just utilise pre and post-drive EQ to tailor your tone to perfection. Take your driven tone to levels you didn't think possible, all with a level of customisation that can deliver a truly custom sound.
Nearly New: This product may have been opened for quality control purposes, returned by a customer, refurbished, or may have non-essential parts or software missing. Otherwise, the product operates as new. This is a great opportunity to buy a fully functioning product at a discounted price.

Just like those modified amps designed to push your tone into a more aggressive territory, the Origin Effects RD Compact Hot Rod Overdrive has been engineered to do the same. This primarily comes from the gain-staging giving you a lot of versatility with how intense you dial in your drive. As you turn the 'Gain' control, go from warm, saturated breakup at lower levels, to crunchy growl when cranked. The intuitive circuitry retains the dynamic response and authentic feel of real amp overdrive so at any gain level you are guaranteed clarity, precise articulation, and immaculate headroom. Even the carefully crafted power supply delivers the perfect amount of sag which really helps get that amp-feel across.
Designed to work with your amp, not against it. One particularly intelligent feature is the inclusion of 'Post EQ Drive Controls'. This combination of toggle switch and trim pot allows you to tailor the outputted tone to perfectly match your amp. The toggle allows you to flick between three different filter settings, find the one that suits your amp's distinct character the best, then use the 'Adjust' control to fine-tune. You're then left with an overdrive pedal that perfectly matches your amplifier. It's this level of attention to detail that elevates this overdrive above many of its peers. The 'Blend' control is also clever as it allows you to dial in a balance of dry signal with overdriven to add an even deeper sense of versatility to this extraordinary drive pedal.
Pedalboard real estate is often an important consideration, Origin realised that and packed all the tone and character of one of their most beloved overdrives into a smaller enclosure. The metal casing is robust and tour-ready, no doubt this can handle its fair share of bumps and scrapes. This ensures an outstanding reliability that will never compromise performance or tone. This pedal gives you immaculate valve amp tones, just with the added reliability and stable performance that most actual valve amps lack.
