Introducing the Legendary Overdrive Dual Series

Many players, after experiencing the remarkable sound produced by running two drive pedals simultaneously, have become accustomed to using multiple effects. As the advantages of dual-channel designs become more widely recognised, their application in effects pedals continues to grow. With the aim of maximising these benefits and delivering a rich tonal palette through the fusion of legendary effects, the Combination of Legendary Effects series was conceived. The intention is not only to offer time-tested, proven sounds but also to introduce modern tones and new textures.

To achieve the optimal pairing of effects, it is essential to experiment with numerous pedals from around the world, assessing them across various test criteria—including frequency response, texture, cohesion, clarity, and noise. Since tone is inherently subjective, a definitive answer may never exist, and even instrument-based measurements cannot eliminate personal bias. However, by drawing on the insights of players and their preferred combinations, we have identified the best pairings across a range of genres, from classic rock and blues to modern rock and beyond.

With dual-channel functionality at its core, these drive pedals can be used independently or blended for versatile sonic applications. They have been designed for effortless integration into any pedalboard and offer high headroom operation at 18V. Once this design direction was established, we decided to focus on core elements and secure expertise in other areas through collaboration. We chose LiberaToe as our partner—an innovator in dual-channel technology and modular effects design—as their approach aligns seamlessly with our vision. Their expertise extends beyond analogue audio into firmware development, plating, and broader engineering fields. By incorporating the modular design of LiberaToe’s interface, we were able to realise the full potential of this dual-channel concept.

Beyond simply reintroducing two classic effects, we have enhanced key aspects that improve their performance and increase synergy when used together. Every circuit remains fully analogue, crafted with premium components, and benefits from an internal voltage boost from 9V to 18V, delivering superior headroom. The Legendary Overdrive Dual Series retains the distinctive characteristics of iconic effects while introducing new advantages—offering players the joy of exploring diverse tonal possibilities and textures.
