V2 Open Road

Overdrive

You like the great sound of the Route 808, but you want a more open sounding, amp-like overdrive with less dominant mid-range? Open Road is the overdrive you've been searching for. Finally, an overdrive pedal that delivers grind and girth. Clear low end, sparkling highs, and none of the mid-range hump found in most other dirt boxes. Play a sixstring chord and all the notes ring through. Play a single note line and it sizzles, punch a power chord and it grinds.

Open Road features a very interactive tone circuit, effecting not only high-end roll-off, but gain structure as well. At any setting, at any volume, Open Road produces organic amp-like tones that might cause you to leave it on all the time.

 

Works great on bass too!

 

Dimensions:  3" x 5 11/16" (78 x 144mm); 
Current Draw: 11-17mA

Note:  All dimensions are approximate maximum dimensions.  Current draw is shown from bypass to channel(s) on.


TESTIMONIAL:

Hi Bob,
Hope all is well with you and the visual sound crew. Just thought I would drop a line about the open road overdrive pedal. I believe this is by far the best overdrive I have ever owned, and it is definitely unique in tone. All the videos I have watched have not done this pedal justice. Not taking away from it's unbelievable clarity but the range on this thing (the gain) by far surpasses any overdrive on the market. This thing goes from a clean boost to super massive overdrive, close enough for the harder stuff. As we all know with the normal overdrives you achieve clarity but lack "hair" or "dirt" and at the same time with heavy distortion plenty of hair but no clarity. This is the first pedal I have ever owned or played through in my 35 years of playing guitar that has achieved both. Thank you so much for creating this master piece, my lifelong search has finally ended.     - Dale M.
