Juxtaposing and integrating two entirely different dirt box circuits, the fully analog Karma Machine Shop is a dual-overdrive pedal that lets guitarists craft a wide range of tones, from subtle boost, to transparent overdrive, to searing high-gain distortion.
The ODR side, inspired by the Nobels ODR-1, provides smooth, transparent overdrive, while the MTN side, based on the Ibanez MT-10 Mostortion, delivers gritty rock tones to high-gain distortion.
Each side has independent footswitches and tone/level controls, with comprehensive EQ on the MTN side and a more simple “Spectre” knob for the ODR, acting as a tone control.
Two modes—Stack and Blend—offer advanced tonal shaping: Stack Mode runs the circuits in series, with a switch to set the order, and Blend Mode mixes them in parallel for extra flexibility.
Features include a Hold-for-Boost function with variable gain, programmable power-up states, and true bypass switching for pristine tone preservation.
