Classic Overdrive with Some Added Sonic Weight


The EarthQuaker Devices White Light overdrive effects pedal picks up where classics like the vintage DOD 250 and MXR Distortion+ pedals leave off. The onboard Weight control adds saturation and low end which is great for dialing in single-coil or humbucker tones. And the Comp switch changes the voice of the White Light from open and biting to compressed and more fluid. These options make the EarthQuaker Devices White Light overdrive a perfect candidate for '70s-style grit or punching the front end of your amp into the exact kind of drive you need.

EarthQuaker Devices White Light Overdrive Effects Pedal at a Glance:

  • Based on two giants of overdrive
  • Controls for fine tuning your sound

Based on two giants of overdrive


The '70s DOD 250 and MXR Distortion+ overdrive pedals (two similar circuits) are responsible for famous guitar tones such as Yngwie Malmsteen's screaming Marshalls and Randy Rhoads's cutting high gain. The EarthQuaker Devices White Light not only gives you those same drive tones, but modern additions like true bypass and added controls allow you to tailor the White Light for your perfect tone.

Controls for fine tuning your sound

The older pedals carried only gain and level controls. They worked great, but if you wanted something different you'd need another pedal. Not the case with the White Light. Its additional Weight control allows you to add low-end saturation into your signal. This really helps dial it in for single-coil or humbucking pickups. And the Comp switch gives the White Light two separate voices. Switched out, you have an open tone that emphasizes the high-mids. Switch it in and your tone is more compressed, a bit fatter, and less aggressive.
