Description

It’s tough to add overdrive to acoustic guitars—not only can it sound un-musical, it can also cause tone-destroying feedback. Designed specifically for use with acoustic instruments, the all-analog Smolder Acoustic Overdrive elegantly solves these issues with Fender know-how. To soften the bright attack of a piezo pickup we included a Pickup Compensation control that smooths out the highs. The Drive knob controls the amount of distortion, while 3-band EQ and Filter controls let you shape your sound to taste. We even included cabinet simulation to add some flavor when plugged into a full-range acoustic amp or PA. Designed by our in-house team of experts, the Smolder Acoustic Overdrive is an all-original Fender circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight, durable anodized aluminum, and the Amp Jewel LED gives your pedalboard the classic Fender look. The switchable LED- backlit knobs show your control settings on a dark stage at a glance.

  • Awesome pedal but
Awesome pedal..but I'm on my third pedal. The first one lasted a year but the over drive is burning out, bought another one right outta the box didn't work, replaced that, back to a great sounding pedal. Hope they keep making it or solved whatever killed my first one cause I love the sound it can give my acoustic . ... show more

  • Grit and control
I needed an pedal for overdriving a Martin acoustic for lead while looping chords. This did the trick, and some. First, the OD tone is great. Not metal-crunchy and not limp-wristed either. Proper bluesy grit. Second, the separate knob for feedback control is tremendous. My Martin is dual pickups - piezo and open mic. Feedback is easy with that guitar, but this pedal squashed that without squashing the tone. Lastly, the blend knob is a blessing. I can get interesting raw acoustic baseline sound with a crunch on top. Gets me the sound I want. ... show more

  • It’s fine, but It really could use dual outputs
I won’t get into the ins and outs of the pedal because the other reviews probably did that. I’ll just write about my experience. When using it, I just couldn’t get a good tone out of it and couldn’t figure out why. But the more I played with it, it finally dawned on me: It needs a clean output. See, when turning the Blend from clean to the affected tone, the acoustic tone changes too, much like how an acoustic would sound going through a traditional electric amp, and as we all know, that sounds terrible. So I ran the pedal through my parallel loop configuration and switch on the phase and bam, the acoustic came through beautifully, and now I could dial in as much Smolder as I wanted via the parallel loop pedal. In effect, I created my own “clean” channel out. And that’s what the Smolder needs... a secondary 1/4” out unaffected by any of the processing so one can mix in the amp tone without it mutating the clean acoustic signal. Maybe a phase switch on the Smolder would work, but signal paths would have to be independent I’m assuming. Anyway. It’s a great idea for a pedal, and I’m keeping it since I made it work (I use a Signal Blender if you’re interested) but if I were to only use this pedal in series, it just wouldn’t be usable to my ears. Perhaps Fender will make a version 2 with dual outs? ... show more

  • Bad on/off switch
It sounded pretty good. It sounded better with a Tube Screamer driving it. The on/off switch failed during sound check. Once I got it to come on, I had to unplug it to turn it off. Bummer.

  • Best acoustic overdrive
I do acoustic gigs and occasionally use some form of overdrive/distortion for a few songs. I’ve used a number of pedals or modeling over many years. This is the first thing that is actually convincing I’ve found. Very happy with this one. It’s a large footprint on my board, but it’s worth it.

  • EXCELLENT OVERDRIVE FOR ACOUSTIC GUITAR
I play every week at my church and this pedal is fantastic. Great build quality, and the tone and overdrive options work excellently. I highly recommend this for those that may like an overdrive sound while not losing acoustic tone quality.

  • Blew After Minimal Use
I love this thing paired with my Martin SC 10 E. The sound is fantastic. However, I popped the button on one day with all the volume down and this thing just stopped working. Brand new battery, but I’m not even gonna deal to see if it’s an issue like that. It makes me wary of it over extended use. Sent it back. ... show more
