Fender Smolder Acoustic Overdrive Pedal

Description

Fender Smolder Acoustic Overdrive Pedal

It’s tough to add overdrive to acoustic guitars. Not only can it sound un-musical, it can also cause tone-destroying feedback. Designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments, the all-analog Fender Smolder Acoustic Overdrive pedal elegantly solves these issues.

To soften the bright attack of a piezo pickup we included a Pickup Compensation control that smooths out the highs. The Drive knob controls the amount of distortion, while 3-band EQ and Filter controls let you shape your sound to taste. We even included cabinet simulation to add some flavor when plugged into a full-range acoustic amp or PA.

Designed by our in-house team of experts, the Smolder® Acoustic Overdrive is an all-original Fender circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look. The switchable LED-backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance.

FEATURES

TRUE ANALOG

Inspired by the all-analog design of vintage pedals, the Smolder also features modern controls for precision sound-shaping.

EQ CONTROLS

Not only does the EQ section sport the traditional Bass, Middle and Treble controls, it also has a Filter control for even more sound-shaping.

PICKUP COMPENSATION CONTROL

Combination high- and low-pass filters let you optimize the Smolder for your pickup type, compensating for potentially bright piezo elements.

FULL RANGE VOICING

The Smolder is designed for optimal tone out of full-range devices like PAs and acoustic amplifiers, so you’ll pull a great live sound.

9VDC POWER

Since it uses a center-negative 9VDC connection, it’s easy to use the Smolder with most pedalboards and power supplies.

STAGE-READY CONSTRUCTION

Crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, every Fender effects pedal also includes switchable LED-illuminated controls.
