Introducing the Electro-Harmonix Spruce Goose Overdrive, the effect pedal that defies the ordinary. This pedal is not just another overdrive; it's an elevated take on a Bluesbreaker-style OD with rich, smooth breakup that maintains clarity and dynamics. The Spruce Goose promises to take your guitar sound on a soaring flight of tonal exploration.

Based on a BB blues-style overdrive, the Spruce Goose delivers a rich, smooth overdrive while maintaining impeccable clarity and dynamic response. The LIFT switch is a standout feature, offering three input gain settings, additional output, and an extended EQ range. This switch effectively works as an input boost, hitting the front end of the drive circuit harder and producing a more compressed, saturated tone while still retaining its dynamic feel and transparent tone.

The Spruce Goose also features mechanical relay true bypass switching with latching and momentary action. Tap the footswitch for a normal latching toggle or press and hold the footswitch for a momentary blast of gain and boost! Perfect for stepping out in front of the mix for pulling quick lick or a moment of sonic chaos.
