REAL OVERDRIVE - DISTORTION 

OUT OF STOCK, CALL OR EMAIL TO PRE-ORDER


A tricked-out version of the ROD880, the ROD881 Real Overdrive Distortion offers even more tone shaping power than its older cousin. In addition to the sounds and controls of the ROD880, the ROD881 features a switchable Distortion mode that adds a secondary gain stage into the signal path for even more extreme drive settings. The ROD881 also features a Footswitchable Boost function that allows for quick changes between solos and rhythms. When combined with the various Drive settings on your amplifier, these features create a multitude of easily accessible tone settings at the touch of your foot. Powered by one hand-selected 12AX7WXT preamp tube, the ROD881’s Gain and Master Volume controls provide a wide variety of overdrive tones, from clean boost all the way to searing, saturated sag. Bass, Treble, and Mid Boost controls with extended operation ranges offer a limitless array of tonal options, from the classic “808” tone to extremely beefy low end chunk. All of the ROD881’s sounds are kept clean and noise-free via the rear mounted, switchable Noise Reduction circuitry with variable Threshold control and a 1:2 noise reduction ratio. Powered via a standard 9-volt DC adaptor that allows easy integration into your pedalboard or rack setup, the ROD881 offers the maximum amount of options for the distortion connoisseur.
