Warm Audio ODD Box V1 - Vintage Tube/Amp Preamplifier with EQ and Drive - 1pc

The Warm Audio ODD V1 is a hefty overdrive with optical amplifiers inspired by the iconic guitar distortion known as the "cranked amp." ODD is perfect for distortion, enhancing riffs, or boosting and adding punch to clean sounds.

• Guitar pedal - "stompbox"
• Cranked amp-style overdrive
• Three control knobs
• UK/US distortion switch
• Premium selected components
• Sturdy chassis
• Powered by batteries or external adapter

The ODD delivers the open sound of a tube amplifier for massive and juicy electric guitars, characteristic of legendary guitarists like Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Mark Hoppus, Eric Johnson, J Mascis, Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big), and many others.

The ODD Box V1 offers all the nuances of a distorted, rich tube amplifier. The controls are inspired by classic models - Volume, Drive, and Tone. There is even a UK/US switch that allows you to choose the character of the ODD from "British" to "American" tube amplifier types.

Perfect Tone on Stage and in the Studio
The ODD brings perfect open tone in one stompbox for any stage or studio. With high sensitivity to playing dynamics combined with the Drive and Tone controls, the ODD sounds like a full-fledged guitar stack regardless of the final volume. Additionally, the UK/US switch ensures that any guitar and amp you connect to the ODD will produce a rich, juicy "cranked-amp" tone.

Quality First
For precise tone reproduction, the ODD is equipped with top-quality components, including the TLO82CP operational amplifier, 2N7000 transistors, and hand-selected capacitors and resistors.

The massive metal chassis and sturdy controls, including the footswitch, ensure long-lasting durability even with less careful use.

Controls and Settings
The ODD features four controls located on the top panel: three knobs and one switch.

• Drive – knob determining the depth of distortion. It controls the amount of clipping or "overdrive" of the tone.
• Tone – knob regulating the tone color. In the right position, it adds highs and increases the aggressiveness and punch of the tone; in the left position, it creates a rich, full, non-aggressive distorted sound.
• Volume – knob functions as the output volume to set the balance between distorted and clean sounds.
• UK/US – switch that changes the character of the distortion and its response to the guitarist's playing.
  • UK – British type. It is more prone to distortion earlier, emphasizes higher mids, and is generally punchier. The sound is enriched with higher harmonics across the dynamic range.
  • US – American type. It has greater headroom, and the dynamics of playing influence the tone color and amount of distortion. When playing softly, it "only" amplifies and boosts the sound; when playing harder, it saturates and adds rich distortion.
