Welcome to your new dynamic dirt doubler! The Gray Channel

It is based around a classic hard-clipping gray box overdrive (subtle hint, huh), one of my all-time

favorites. Coincidentally, this is the very same pedal that got me started building pedals and

launched EQD. It is two channels of a simple hard clipping overdrive that leaves the character

of the guitar and amp intact. The Gray Channel retains the classic warm overdrive sound and

expands upon it with several clipping options and bigger bass response.

Each channel has 3 clipping modes. The Green channel– Si (Silicon clipping diodes),

Ge (Germanium clipping diodes) and N (no clipping diodes). The Si mode will be bright/loud/

fuzzy and has a natural tube type break up. Ge mode is a little looser with more lows and warmth

and less output. N mode acts as a clean boost until you hit roughly 1 o'clock on the gain, at which

point it'll start to saturate the opamp into a biting, loud distortion. Phew!

Still with me? Cool, onto the modes of the Red channel. Here, you've got LED (LED clipping

diodes), FET (Mosfet clipping diodes) and N (again, no clipping diodes). LED mode is the loudest,

cleanest and most touch sensitive/least compressed. FET mode is the most compressed with

a tighter crunch; the biggest hesher of the group. And finally, the N mode is the same clean to

crazy loud opamp distortion setup as the Green channel. With a couple of switch clicks you

can go from your bypassed tone to warm break up to over-the-top gnarly grind and any/every

combination in between.

With more and more drive pedals moving onto already crowded pedal boards, having the Gray

Channel dual overdrive is like, totally crucial for sonic growth and sustain. Join the fight to stop

pedal board overcrowding, because before we can overdrive tomorrow, we must first drive

today... or something. Each Gray Channel is built one at a time, part-by-gorgeous-part at a

former automotive paint factory by a bunch of smokestacks on a dead-end street in Akron, Ohio.

is a real "twofer" of an overdrive.
