Operation Overlord And Tone Corset.
BILLED AS A STEREO MULTI-INSTRUmental overdrive, the Operation Overload (a.k.a. the code name for the Invasion of Normandy in WWII) packs pairs of left and right 1/4" input and outputs, and features a foot switchable Boost function along with active 3-band EQ, a Dry blend control, and a 3-position switch for setting input level. It’s all about making the Overlord suitable for guitar, bass, keys, etc., and you can even have the Boost function be independent of the JFET overdrive stages by selecting “Boost Independent” on a slider switch that resides inside the die-cast aluminum housing (put on your readers to find it though!).
