Take flight with the Electro - Harmonix Spruce Goose Overdrive guitar pedal. It offers an advanced version of the Bluesbreaker® - style overdrive, delivering a smooth and rich breakup while keeping clarity and dynamics intact. The Spruce Goose comes with a bunch of new features. The LIFT switch gives you access to 3 input gain settings, along with extra output and an extended EQ to make your tone soar! Whether you need a meaty boost or smooth singing leads, this pedal can steer your tone in many inspiring and musical directions.
The heart of the Spruce Goose is an overdrive circuit known for its natural breakup and amp - like response. The LIFT switch takes it to the next level by letting you choose between 3 levels of input gain. It acts as an input boost, hitting the front end of the drive circuit harder to produce a more compressed and saturated tone, all while maintaining a dynamic feel and transparent sound. The GAIN and VOL knobs let you precisely adjust the drive and output levels. The pedal's EQ has a TREBLE knob to control high frequencies and an active BASS knob to cut or boost bass. The BASS knob is great for adding fullness to single - coil guitars or tightening the low end on humbucker guitars.
The Spruce Goose also has mechanical relay true bypass switching with both latching and momentary action. Tap the footswitch for normal on - off toggling or hold it down for a quick burst of gain and boost! It's perfect for standing out in the mix with a quick lick or a moment of sonic mayhem.

Using the Electro - Harmonix Spruce Goose Overdrive guitar pedal is easy. First, power it up. You can use the included 9V battery or an optional 9.6VDC - 200mA power adapter. Once it's on, start adjusting the knobs. The GAIN knob controls the amount of overdrive. Turn it up for a more distorted sound and down for a cleaner tone. The VOL knob adjusts the output volume.
The TREBLE knob helps you control the high frequencies. If your tone sounds too bright, turn it down a bit. The active BASS knob is very useful. You can use it to add more bass to single - coil guitars or tighten up the low end on humbucker guitars.
The LIFT switch is a great feature. It gives you three different input gain settings. Experiment with these settings to find the sound you like. For a quick boost, press and hold the footswitch for momentary action. Just tap it for normal on - off switching.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedal clean. If you're using a battery, replace it when the power starts to fade. If you use an adapter, make sure it's the right voltage. And store the pedal in a dry place to avoid any damage.
