Product Description

The Odyssey Drive pedal is one of the most talked about drive pedals on the market today and for good reason! It's a versatile and dynamic overdrive that allows you to express every nuance of your playing.

An Unbelievable Journey Through Tone!

With the 3 clipping circuits on-board you can choose exactly how much gain you want from the pedal. Each clipping circuit has a distinct clarity too so you'll never end up with too much mud, though the pedal can easily delve into over-saturated fuzz territory with ease.

The Chameleon of the overdrive World

The Odyssey has an intuitive EQ that you can use to bring out the best in the guitar that you use and a level control to match line level. If you'd prefer to use the level control to boost your signal then it's got plenty of juice to get you going. 

You can then play around with the 3 toggles to determine the kind of drive you want from the Odyssey. 

Here's what Hamstead say about the Odyssey Drive Pedal:

Our obsession with tone and electronic design has driven us to push the boundaries of what a drive pedal can be. This is Odyssey: One analogue circuit by Peter Hamstead, countless sublime classic and contemporary tones. With interactive controls for unbelievable versatility, Odyssey can take you on a journey from clean boost with tone shaping, to classic rock, through to heavy metal, and all the way to oversaturated fuzz. The sweet spot is wherever you want it to be - whether you simply want to find your sonic nirvana, or embark on an epic adventure of discovery.

A great variety of options to try that will keep me going well into 2022 and that's before I start plugging in my other pedals.

Fab overdrive pedal! It’s so versatile, allowing you to shape a such variety of clean and overdriven sounds. The saturated fuzz is amazing.

Really adaptable pedal, exactly what I was after. Robust build, knobs really easy to read, and despite loads of controls, pretty intuitive guide to operation. Needs a bit of dialling in, but that's going to happen with adaptability

This pedal is absolutely fantastic! Build quality, sounds, everything is top notch. Not to mentiona that soft switch, brilliant!

Trusted Customer23rd Mar 2019

I have tried many pedals over the years trying to find "that sound" and honestly, this has it...in fact it has all of them. Don't be daunted by the options there is a guide included to help you find classic tones and are a good starting point. You really can't find a bad sound out of this thing, it is all useable, and some! I was on the verge of changing my amp because I couldn't get what I wanted out of it but this pedal has fixed it. Highly addictive.

Mr Eoin Clune22nd Nov 2018

Only used it a couple of times so far! Does what I expected! Will need a bit longer to get to know it better. May warrant a 5 ⭐️ rating then. If you are looking for a versatile pedal, this does everything from clean boost to crazy hi gain!
