Finding an overdrive pedal sound that suits the exact sound you’re emulating or creating can often be a hard task. The Digitech DOD Looking Glass overcomes this by having controls that cover an entire spectrum and history of driven tones.The Looking Glass Overdrive is collaboration between DOD and the boutique pedal company SHOE Pedals. Christopher Venter of SHOE Pedals is known for his unique circuits, colourful perspective on classic effects, and minimalist design aesthetic. It's a great buy for blues players who want a bit 'more' out of their amps, but it will suit any player who wants extra dirt while retaining their core tone.” We have gotten requests to hear what the DOD/SHOE Looking Glass Overdrive sounds like on bass so I had Jonni rip through some settings at our last practice. by Digitech The versatile, yet simple, pre-drive BASS CUT and post-drive TREBLE controls allow players to retain clarity in the mix or dial-in raunchy raw tones as desired, with plenty of output and gain on tap. The DOD Looking Glass is a very interesting overdrive as its Class A FET design and asymmetrical gain stage make it more like a preamp for your amplifier than a traditional overdrive. Created by the incredible team at Shoe pedals and sold with the DOD badge this is a seriously cool addition to any pedalboard

The Looking glass pedal has been made in collaboration with DOD and the boutique company SHOE Pedals. SHOE has been known to create pedals that can vary between classic sounds of the past, all the way to the modern sounds that artists are using right now. The collaboration has led to a pedal that has Digitech’s precise manufacturing and technological expertise, with SHOE Pedals’ imagination and pursuit for a tone ideal for live, studio, or casual user. Compact, durable, and road ready Throughout our sound testing, there was a definite sweet spot when dialing in the bottom two knobs. On any channel, we had bad, good and great tone, depending how much we used our ears and learned the function of these three control knobs. Spending a little bit of time understanding the pedal went a long way for us. In a joint collaboration with boutique pedal designer, Christopher Venter, of SHOE Pedals, DOD has released an overdrive/boost pedal that goes far beyond their simpler, classic fare. Delivering clean boost, low gain grit, and high gain crunch in one 9v-powered, compact, stomp box is no easy feat, and the boutique connection here meant that this pedal needed to measure up to a higher standard. We put the Looking Glass through the paces and gave it no leeway. We stomped , we gritted, and we gained it to death. In the end, we found a very interesting pedal that is sure to appeal to a wide range of players. So… is this the distortion box for you? Features The Looking Glass is a true bypass pedal, which allows the guitar tone to remain pristine even when the device is off. The power supply input makes it pedalboard-friendly, and it can also be powered by a 9V alkaline dry battery.

Getting a balance between the bottom two, tone-influencing knobs proved a little challenging, but was well worth the work. Other pedals with more limited tone controls can sound quite specifically good or bad depending on the guitar and amp they are paired with. But these two controls, along with the design of the pedal, ensure that you can properly match the tone of this pedal to your specific guitar and amp combination. We plugged our Ibanez PBFP Jem into the Looking Glass and fed it into our Mesa Mark Five head mated to a 4x10 Marshall cabinet. Setting all controls around midway for starters, we found it to be a looking glass indeed. The pedal did next to nothing to our tone switched On or Off. Once we nudged the Level and Input knobs up a little, we heard the subtle but useful effect of the transparent boost in the low gain setting. The pedal added very little grit, yet in our Mesa’s IIC+ mode, it slammed the amp a bit harder at the input and therefore gave us a different dynamic as a result. We particularly liked what it did to our high gain channel, too. Herein lies the difference between a good sound and a great sound: the subtle differences. Another note about the bright LED: it’s great for an outdoors gig, but we found it a bit overbearing on a very dark stage. Sound From the face of the pedal, the top two knobs are Level and Gain. These require no explanation. The bottom two knobs, however, are less obvious. The bottom left knob is a dual-concentric design, with the top knob adjusting treble attenuation of the sound and the bottom knob providing an input signal bass cut. The right bottom knob is an input filter, which allows you to pepper the guitar’s midrange sound coming in based on what you are hearing coming out.DOD Looking Glass and DigiTech CabDryVR with the Polara Reverb ran after the CabDryVR. Gets that "amp in a big room sound". #dig_it by Digitech We felt for the clean channel, the boost was unnecessary and made the sound slightly cluttered and abrupt. Even diming out the gain and peppering the bottom two knobs, we felt this pedal wasn’t mated well to this channel. The dimed-out gain in the low gain setting sounded akin to a Fender twin pushed to breakup . We understand some of our readers will relish this sound, though, and it was well suited to a Beatles-esque application.

The Looking Glass is true bypass, which allows your guitar tone to remain pristine even when the it is off and the power supply input makes it pedalboard friendly. Dual gain ranges are selectable on toggle, so the player can control the intensity of overdrive and distortion. A separate HIGH/LOW GAIN SWITCH allows the player to select between a softer overdrive setting and a stiffer, boost compression-oriented higher-headroom setting that can be used as a tone shaping tool or overdrive for higher gain amplifiers. Finely tuned gain ranges provide satisfying feel in the player’s hands. DOD Looking Glass!! Great country break-up sound and very transparent distortion!!

The Looking Glass is true bypass, which allows your guitar tone to remain pristine even when the it is off and the power supply input makes it pedalboard friendly. Features The bass cut and treble controls allow you to tighten your guitar’s tone, or to let it loose for a less structured drive. The gain control determines how much you distort your sound, varying from a light layer of compression to an aggressive, raw punch emulating an amp at its brink. Whether it’s modern, vintage, light or heavy overdrive you’re looking for, the Looking Glass has it all. Boutique roots A standard, heavy-duty footswitch allows for On/Bypass operation and with the unit on, a blue indicator light illuminates so brightly that even the blind can see it.
