Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive MOD - Overdrive (Pre-owned)

The original Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive pedal featured a unique “clean” blend control allowing it to do richly detailed tones previously unheard of in a single stompbox.

Restoring the attack and feel which is lost in a highly compressed overdrive circuit, the concept is the same as layering two amps, one clean and the other saturated. With the Clean control turned all the way down, you get vintage 808 overdrive tones. All the way up, it’s a 100% clean boost using a studio grade opamp for crisp and super transparent sound without added noise.
Sparkle Drive MOD delivers all the overdrive tones and features of the original Sparkle Drive, and more. Using the MOD knob, you can select the vintage 808- based circuit, or instantly pick from 3 different custom modifications. Whether you need more gain, tighter bass response, a more vocal midrange, or a thick and juicy lead tone, Sparkle Drive MOD gives you the tools to get there.

Each pedal is hand built in the USA using high-grade precision parts, and features true bypass switching via a high reliability gold-contact relay.

Operation

1. Gain: This sets the gain level for the overdrive sound only. It has no effect on the “clean” signal. Use low settings to warm up and compress your tone. Turn it up for additional sustain and saturation.
2. 2. Tone: Turn it up for a brighter sound, down for darker. It is for the overdrive only and has no effect on the “clean” signal.
3. 3. Clean: This blends the boosted clean signal with the overdrive. All the way down is overdrive only. All the way up is clean only. In between is a blend of both clean and overdrive.
4. 4. Volume: This sets the output level. Set as desired! Plenty of juice is available to overdrive your tube amp.
5. 5. MOD Knob: • VINTAGE: This selection give you the classic 808 tube-style midrange grind that’s great for blues or for boosting your solos.
   
   1-LEAD: The lead circuit has extra gain, a thick and juicy bottom end, and smooth highs that are perfect for single-note melodies. 2-RHYTHM: This punchy “mid cut” rhythm tone is great for chunky rock power chords and funk. 3-HIGH GAIN: With extra gain, this mode delivers articulate highs and an aggressive modern bottom end.
