Some of you may be thinking this layout looks pretty familiar, and yes, it is extremely close to the ZW-44 Zakk Wylde overdrive. So close in fact that I’ve included a switch that will select either the GT-OD or ZW-44 on the fly. I’ve got an original ZW-44 and really like it, but watching some of the clips I think I like the sound of the GT-OD more so I’ll certainly be adding this to the collection.
Info from MXR about their original:
Built from the ground up with the best available components, the MXR GT-OD Overdrive pedal creates smooth, warm, and classic overdrive without excess noise or tone coloring. The simple controls make it easy to dial in a great tone quickly-from crunchy rhythm tone with chord clarity-to sparkly and harmonic-rich lead tones with tons of sustain. You won’t find an overdrive that is more organic, responsive or open sounding.
A traditional overdrive that provides powerful, cutting, transparent overdrive tone with great definition
Adds sustain and gain without adding excess noise
Place in front of an overdriven amp for screaming lead tones
Indestructible die-cast housing
