The Rodenberg SL-OD Deluxe is the ultimate overdrive pedal, designed in collaboration with legendary guitarist Steve Lukather and renowned engineer Uli Rodenberg. This signature model combines three powerful effects—overdrive, distortion, and clean boost—into one compact and robust enclosure, delivering unparalleled tone, touch sensitivity, and total control. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the SL-OD Deluxe offers the versatility and sonic excellence that professional musicians demand.
Developed with Steve Lukather’s personal input and approval, this pedal is built to provide a wide palette of tones, from smooth, creamy overdrive to tight, aggressive distortion, plus a clean boost to push your amp or other pedals further. Its flexible signal routing and channel locking features make it ideal for live performance, allowing seamless switching and customised signal chains to suit your playing style and rig setup.
The SL-OD Deluxe is housed in a rugged black powder-coated aluminium chassis, ensuring durability and reliability for the road. Hand-built in Germany and backed by a three-year warranty, this pedal represents the pinnacle of boutique pedal craftsmanship and innovation.
Three Pedals in One
This signature pedal integrates three distinct effects: a versatile overdrive with high gain and FAT boost options, a fast and tight distortion with a dedicated toggle switch, and a clean boost offering up to +20 dB of level increase. Each effect features independent level, tone, and drive controls, giving you complete command over your sound.
Flexible Signal Routing
Choose between two internal signal chains with the pre/post toggle switch. Route the clean boost before or after the overdrive and distortion stages to tailor your tone precisely. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of amps and pedalboards.
Channel Locking for Live Performance
The locked switch function allows you to switch between overdrive and distortion with a single foot press, perfect for live settings where quick, reliable changes are essential. This feature streamlines your pedalboard and enhances your stage presence.
Premium Build Quality
Constructed from black powder-coated aluminium and featuring mechanical true bypass footswitches with near-silent switching, the SL-OD Deluxe is built to perform flawlessly under the toughest conditions. Hand-built in small batches in Germany, it offers exceptional reliability and tone preservation.
