Electro Harmonix Operation Overlord is an advanced, full-featured stereo overdrive and distortion pedal. With the pedal’s broad range of options and controls you can dial in great drive sounds for keyboards, synths, guitars, basses, and more.

Active 3-band EQ controls, footswitchable Boost mode, and a dry blend provide versatility for different tones and instruments. The pedal also features two independent distortion channels for use with stereo setups. Whatever your rig, use the OVERLORD to dial in your tonal inspiration.

The pedal operates in two modes: Normal and Boost. The Normal mode uses three amp-like JFET gain stages for low to medium gain sounds. When in this mode, use the Gain knob to control the amount of overdrive. The Boost mode adds a classic pedal-style overdrive circuit before the JFET stages to increase overall distortion.

Boost is engaged with the Footswitch and is active when the blue LED is lit. In this mode, both the Gain and Boost knobs are active, and the Boost knob controls how much additional gain from the circuit is fed into the main JFET circuit.

Electro Harmonix

Electro-Harmonix (EHX) is an American company known for manufacturing electronic audio equipment, particularly effects pedals for musicians. Founded in 1968 by Mike Matthews, the company is headquartered in New York City. EHX gained fame in the 1970s for creating innovative and iconic guitar pedals that shaped the sound of modern music, most notably the Big Muff Pi distortion pedal, used by numerous legendary guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, and Jack White.

Financial struggles in early 1980s

The company initially thrived by producing various effects pedals, including fuzz, distortion, and delay units. However, EHX faced financial struggles in the early 1980s, leading to a temporary halt in production. In the 1990s, the company relaunched and resumed production, continuing to innovate and expand its product lineup to include effects for bass, synthesizers, and other instruments. Electro-Harmonix pedals are known for their high-quality, unique sound, and durability, making them a favorite among musicians in genres ranging from rock and punk to experimental and electronic music. Today, the brand is recognized worldwide for its contributions to audio effects and maintains a strong presence in the music industry.
