Matt Hoopes, best known as the lead guitarist in the band Relient K, has announced the second pedal from his sought-after 1981 Inventions brand is an overdrive unit, dubbed the LVL.
The box has been described by Hoopes as a “non-transparent” overdrive pedal, which is designed to emphasize natural harmonics and dynamic range, with a light-clipping circuit and an op-amp boost.
