Thanks for purchasing Smolder Acoustic
Overdrive – our first drive pedal designed
specifically for acoustic guitar. Smolder works by
using a pickup compensation control to filter out
some of the unwanted sonic characteristics of
acoustic pickups. Distortion comes next using the
Drive control, followed by EQ and Filter controls
for many shaping options. The signal is finally fed
through an all-analog cabinet simulation before
exiting at the output jack. The result is a warm,
natural-sounding overdrive that plays especially
well with full-range acoustic amps and PA
systems.
