The MXR GT-OD Overdrive pedal delivers classic, warm overdrive tones with a smooth character, making it an essential addition to any guitarist’s pedalboard. Renowned for its ability to add rich harmonic content without sacrificing your instrument’s unique voice, the GT-OD is perfect for players who want natural, amp-like breakup and sustain without added noise or unwanted coloration. Whether you’re looking to boost your solos, add some grit to your rhythm, or push your amp into creamy saturation, this pedal does it all with simplicity and reliability.
Unlike many overdrives that mask your guitar’s tone, the GT-OD preserves your dynamics and articulation, ensuring your playing style shines through. Its intuitive controls let you dial in everything from a subtle edge to full-on classic rock crunch, all while maintaining a quiet signal path. If you crave an overdrive pedal that’s both responsive and versatile, the MXR GT-OD is designed to enhance your sound, not change it.
Classic, Uncoloured Overdrive
The GT-OD stands out for its transparent sound. This means it boosts your signal and adds that coveted tube-like breakup, but leaves your core guitar tone untouched. Whether you play clean, edge-of-breakup, or full drive, the GT-OD keeps your sound intact—just with more attitude. Perfect for players who want to maintain the integrity of their instrument and amp setup.
Simple, Effective Controls
Dialling in your perfect overdrive is effortless with the GT-OD. Its three-knob layout (Output, Tone, and Gain) allows you to shape your sound quickly and precisely. From a gentle push to saturated sustain, you’ll find your sweet spot in seconds, even mid-gig.
Quiet, Reliable Operation
MXR’s legendary build quality ensures the GT-OD is ready for the road. The pedal’s low-noise circuitry means your tone stays clean and free of unwanted hiss, even at higher gain settings. Its robust enclosure is built to withstand years of heavy use, whether in the studio or on stage.
Versatile Applications
From blues to classic rock to modern pop, the MXR GT-OD adapts to any genre or playing style. Use it to drive your clean amp, stack it with other pedals, or as a lead boost for solos. It’s equally at home in vintage rigs and modern pedalboards, making it a flexible tool for every guitarist.
