Providence ROD-1 Red Rock Od Effects Pedal
A warm overdrive with plenty of sustain gives guitarists a very expressive voice with great range. This sound is perfectly suited for guitars equipped with single-coil pickups.

An input gain section similar to guitar amplifier circuits allows compensation for pickups of different strengths and amplifies them.
A FAT switch that boosts low frequencies can be used to deliver an even fatter and more powerful sound.
An internal circuit doubles the 9-volt power supply voltage to 18 volts, allowing for a wider dynamic range than classic overdrive effects.
In standard "true bypass" circuits, the instrument signal passes through two switching contacts when bypassed. The ROD-1 Single Contact True Bypass circuit configuration ensures that the signal passes through only one switch contact when bypassed, for unmatched signal quality and reliability.
Thanks to the adoption of the new double-contact grounding circuit (D.C.G. circuit), by inserting a mono plug into the output jack, the shielding (sleeve) of the plug provides two contact points with the pedal's grounding circuit. By increasing the contact surface area, it becomes more difficult for a loose connection to occur, and provides the additional advantage of improved sound quality.
In addition to indicating the pedal's on/off status, the ROD-1 LED allows effective visual control of battery power. When the battery voltage drops below 7 volts, the LED dims and begins to turn off. The effect will still operate at this voltage, but to ensure optimal performance, the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.
