🚨WOAH baby!  It's a Dude Alert!🚨

March 17, 2025: Now officially launched!

This overdrive will make you feel like you have full-body tribal tattoos.  It's got familiar overdrive controls like TONE to shave off high frequencies, LEVEL for volume, and GAIN to control the clipping responsiveness. 

A little unique to this pedal from other overdrives is that the GAIN has a wider sweep on the low range of the knob.  This lets you really dial in your sweet spot no matter how hot your pickups are.  Using single coils but still want more dirt?  The full range of the clipping is still available toward the top range of the knob.

The level of the output signal has been boosted, so you get a little more volume than you're used to with a typical overdrive pedal (specifically, +10dB if you are a Dude like that).  You can even run this pedal at 9 Vdc like normal... or a whopping 18 Vdc for more headroom!

Really want control of your overdrive's sound?  You can swap the clipping diodes!

  • WHOA! mode is LED clipping for a round, sweet style of grit.
  • WOAH! mode is asymmetrical silicon diode clipping for harder distortion and more harmonics. 

    (Pro tip if you forget: Use your ears. The LED clipping is louder, and the harder Si clipping is quieter.)
    There's even a secret mode, but I'll let you discover that for yourself.  Hint: it's LOUD.

Quick and easy process
Assurian protection plans are worth it. Simplified process to get it handled. When my portable blender broke, I followed the process and they sent me an electronic gift card and that was very easy to redeem good customer service. I’ve also taken it on other items, but I haven’t had to use those yet.

protection plan is easy.
The protection plan worked on my coffee pot. It was just over 14 months and started to leak. I first called amazon and they sent me a link to the protection plan. It was very easy to use. I received a Amazon gift card instead of a replacement. The price of the coffee pot had increased so you will receive the lower option. I did receive the total cost of the pot at the time I purchased it.

It is worth purchasing a Protection Plan on an unfamiliar item
Bought a 3-year protection plan for a nut milk maker machine for $5.99. It was a fairly new kitchen item in our household and we were not familiar with the brand. So, I bought the plan for a piece (peace) of mind. The machine worked nicely for about 18-20 months with daily use until it tripped the circuit outlet. My initial chat with Asurion did not go as I expected due to discrepancy on their end as they see a protection plan for the nut milk maker as a sporting goods valued between $100-$199, not as a kitchen item valued between $30-$39.99. ( I had bought 3 different protection plan on th same day for multiple items purchased on Prime Days). They were looking at a different plan and I was unable to get them to "scroll over" to the appropriate protection plan. I tried again on a different day during the first hour of their contact hours and had a cheerful Asurion agent who was able to find the appropriate kitchen item protection plan. It was a simple and thorough conversation and transaction. I was refunded within hours after I packed up and dropped off the damaged item out to UPS. Moral of the story: Asurion Protection Plan is worth it and contact them at the start of their first day shift, not at the end of their evening shift.
