GHOST OVERDRIVE — HIGH-GAIN OVERDRIVE / DISTORTION

Ghost Overdrive is a hand-built high-gain drive inspired by the character of classic British amplifiers, combining saturated gain with an amp-like response and straightforward tone shaping.

Its hex-inverter drive and feedback-based architecture can move from warm crunch into heavier, more aggressive distortion while retaining definition as the gain increases.

Sound

Ghost is voiced for rich, saturated drive with a strong midrange presence and enough range to move between classic-rock crunch and heavier distortion.

The Contour control makes it easy to reshape the upper frequencies and mids without adding another row of controls.

Controls

Drive — Sets the amount of gain, from lighter crunch to saturated distortion.

Volume — Controls the overall output level.

Contour — Shapes the upper-frequency and midrange response, allowing the sound to move from brighter and more open to thicker and more focused.

Features

  • High-gain overdrive / distortion
  • Amp-inspired voicing
  • Three straightforward controls: Drive, Volume, and Contour
  • Hand-built in the Seattle area
  • Individually hand-finished original artwork
  • True bypass switching

Enclosure / dimensions: 125B / approx. 122 × 66 × 39 mm. Hand-applied artwork and finishing may add slight variation to the final exterior dimensions.

Each enclosure is individually hand-finished. The Ghost artwork follows the same visual concept, with small variations in composition and hand-applied details from pedal to pedal.

Your pedals are more than just boxes; they're sonic sculptors, crafting the very essence of your sound. To keep them performing at their peak, heed these sacred commandments of pedal care:

The Tenets of Pedal Preservation

  1. Unplug the Beast: Before diving into the cleaning ritual, always disconnect your pedal from the power source. This simple act prevents electrical mishaps and ensures your safety.
  2. A Gentle Wipe: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently caress the pedal's exterior. Remove dust, grime, and the residue of countless gigs.
  3. The Forbidden Liquid: Water, the nemesis of electronics, must be banished from your cleaning routine. Avoid liquid cleaners and moisture at all costs.
  4. The Sacred Knob: When cleaning knobs, rotate them gently, ensuring no debris enters the delicate inner workings.
  5. The Jack's Domain: Utilize a specialized contact cleaner to maintain the integrity of your input and output jacks. A gentle spray and a few rotations will do the trick.
  6. The Power Supply's Purpose: A well-regulated power supply is the lifeblood of your pedalboard. Keep it clean and free from dust, ensuring optimal performance.
  7. The Periodic Purge: Regularly inspect your pedalboard for loose cables, faulty connections, and signs of wear. A well-maintained board is a happy board.
  8. The Holy Grail of Storage: When not in use, store your pedals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
  9. The Forbidden Modding: Unless you're a seasoned electronics wizard, resist the urge to tinker with your pedals' internal circuitry. Leave it to the experts.
  10. The Ritual of Respect: Treat your pedals with reverence. They are the tools of your musical expression, deserving of care and attention.

By adhering to these sacred tenets, you'll ensure that your pedals continue to deliver sonic bliss for years to come.
