The Mythos Herculean Deluxe Overdrive is a new addition to the Mythos range of drive pedals. It has two circuits, the Herculean and the Runestone, that can be used separately or together. It can produce a wide range of sounds and suit different musical situations.
The Herculean circuit is based on the Dumble Style amplifiers, which are known for their smooth and warm tones. It has Clarity and Bass controls that can adjust the brightness and low-end of the sound. It can create sounds from low to high gain, with different levels of saturation and definition.
The Runestone circuit is inspired by the classic Blues Breaker overdrive pedal. It has a Voice knob that can change the tone from bright to mellow. It has a high output level that can preserve the character of the guitar and amp.
The pedal has an order switcher that can change the order of the two circuits in the signal chain. This can create different combinations of sounds when the circuits are stacked.
The pedal also has a 4-way dip switch inside that can change the clipping options for each circuit. The Runestone circuit can have no clipping, soft clipping, or hard clipping.
The Herculean circuit can have no clipping, soft clipping, or “Zen” clipping, which uses Mosfet and NOS Germanium diodes. The Runestone circuit also has an internal Presence trimmer that can fine-tune the top end of the sound.
