Description

Edit description

Naked OD™ resulted from the collaboration between David Friedman of Rack Systems, LTD and Tone Freak Effects™. Friedman (pictured left) has built racks and pedal board for esteemed client such as Eddie Van Halen, Slash, The Offspring, Linkin Park, Tim Pierce and many more!

Friedman had the overall circuit of the Naked OD™ in his head. After a couple tiny mods, Tone Freak Effects™ helped get this great pedal into reality.

The Naked OD™ is a lighter OverDrive. Placed in front of an already slightly or fully driven amp, the Naked OD™ can clean boost your tone as well as giving you even more "hair". With a clean amp, the Naked OD™ adds a nice crunch for chord and solo work.

"I was producing this band called the Strangers, and they had a really cool pedal called the Tone Freak Naked OD. It’s right in between a distortion box and ’60s fuzz, with this nice, open, sloppy overdrive that adds some hair but never gets too loose or undefined that it’s out of control."
