The boutique overdrive reinvented

Warm Audio presents the ODD Box V1, an overdrive pedal that takes its sonic and aesthetic cues from some of the most popular boutique models. This "amp-in-a-box" pedal captures the characteristic sound of a fully-cranked tube amp and features two distinct sound modes - UK and US - as well as hefty gain reserves, all of which allows it to cover the whole dynamic range of overdriven tones that can be obtained from a tube amplifier. Whether it is used for high-gain distortion or for a lead boost, the Warm Audio ODD Box V1 pedal really delivers on boutique sound quality at an affordable price.

Warm Audio ODD V1 Overdrive pedal for electric guitar

An inspiring range of sounds

The ODD Box V1 pedal from Warm Audio combines a sleek design and an incredibly versatile sonic palette. The pedal has three main controls: Volume, Drive and Tone. The Drive dial adjusts the amount of gain, while the Tone dial determines the brightness by influencing the high frequencies. The Volume dial in turn controls the output level. There is a switch for selecting the UK or US mode, which modifies the character of the pedal's sound. In UK mode, the distortion gains in intensity and volume, with an accent on the upper mid-range reminiscent of tube amps being pushed to their limits. The more subtle US mode generates less pronounced distortion and an "airier" sound, ideal for use as a clean boost. This model takes a 9V or 18V power supply, offering further versatility.

Classic tones on tap

The Warm Audio ODD Box V1 pedal embodies the spirit of boutique overdrive pedals that are virtually impossible to find nowadays. Inspired by classic models, it is aimed at vintage sound lovers, but also musicians looking for a versatile pedal with a genuine "amp-in-a-box" sound. Its open, dynamic character, reminiscent of the natural distortion of tube amps, already marks this pedal out as a timeless classic. In terms of performance, the ODD Box V1 pedal rivals the models of yesteryear, while establishing itself as an affordable alternative.

About Warm Audio

Warm Audio is a company founded in 2011 which has made it its mission to offer the highest quality studio equipment at the most affordable prices possible. The focus is on remakes of classic studio standards, whose circuits are reinterpreted, often freely and with flair. The Americans firm’s product range includes their own variants of the Urei 1176 and the Teletronix LA-2A compressor, a Pultec replica, and a number of different microphones and preamps inspired by the corresponding legendary devices from the analogue era.

From boost to high-gain amp

Thanks to its UK and US modes which significantly modify the character of the sound, its generous gain reserves, and its ability to reproduce the dynamics of a tube amp, the versatility of the Warm Audio ODD Box V1 overdrive pedal makes it stand out from the crowd. Far from being merely a drive pedal, it will perform equally well as a clean boost and lead boost, with the US mode in particular offering outstanding clean boost tones, especially in combination with a tube amp on the edge of saturation. In contrast, the UK mode allows players to obtain sounds ranging from light overdrive to maximum high-gain amp clipping. So-called "clean" single-channel amps will benefit most from this feature, but the ODD Box V1 pedal will also give "dirty" amps the extra boost they need to add sustain and clarity. Highly responsive, it reacts with precision to the equipment being used and to playing techniques, offering guitarists endless possibilities for experimenting and fine-tuning their sound.

I found a colorless overdrive at the end!

Buket 08.09.2023

I tried some so called “transparent” overdrive pedals but this pedal is the one i found as a real transparent.

I am using Blues Junior 3 amp and have been looking for a pedal which will not boost or cut any eq for both pickups. Finally i found this pedal that gives me what i wanted.

The other two words are dynamic and versatile. Volume pot on the guitar or picking can change the taste of the overdrive. I am boosting this pedal with Tumnus and the result is spectacular. I set volume and gain at 1o’clock on ODD and crank drive on Tumnus: Both solos and ritms are great sounding…

It has 3 knobs which are obvious; but one additional switch is changing the eq actually. I found UK is too treble for me so i use US with my Fender amp and Fender telecaster. Moreover i liked the bypass switch which is very comfortable, you don't have to kick your pedal to switch on/off.

I have never tried OCD but it is said that this pedal is based on v1; if they would put a switch for different OCD versions, that would be legendary :)

Pedal comes with 9v battery inside btw. To change/remove it, you need to use tool (eg pliers) to relief screws on both sides.

In conclusion, this pedal became my main od pedal and will be for a long time i believe. I highly recommend this for everyone who wants a good and transparent od pedal.

Was looking for this "iconic pedalboard staple" for ages to [over]drive my precision. This thing meets all the expectations and gives even more for a reasonable price! Strong yet transparent with wide tonal choices - highly recommended!

Top Pedal!

Ich besitze das OCD 1.3 und 1.4 in zweifacher Ausfertigung.Mit der Version 1.3 hat das ODD soundlich nichts zu tun.Mit der Version 1.4 schon.Zwischen dem ODD und dem OCD 1.4 gibt es aus meiner Sicht nur minimale klangliche Unterschiede.Das ODD klingt im direkten Vergleich etwas rauer,direkter,eindimensionaler.Das sind aber wirklich nur Nuancen,von der Zerrstruktur sind sie sich sehr ähnlich und das ist auch gut so.Welche Version vom OCD Warm Audio für das ODD zum Vorbild hatte weiß ich nicht.Aber das ODD ist die beste und authentischste Kopie die ich bisher spielen durfte,und ich habe die üblichen Verdächtigen alle ausprobiert.Das Pedal klingt amtlich,das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis ist sehr gut.Würde ich mir glatt nochmal kaufen...
