Paul Riario Demos LunaStone TrueOverDrive 2 Compact Pedal
Today, Guitar World’s Paul Riario test drives the TrueOverDrive 2, the latest offering from Danish pedal builder LunaStone.
Introduced after the launch of the company’s TrueOverDrive 1, the TrueOverDrive 2 looks similar to its predecessor—but once it's plugged in, it becomes clear that TOD 2 adds more low end for a beefier overdriven sound.
TrueOverDrive 2 is as true to transparent and tube-like overdrive as the original TOD 1, but it adds a serious punch in the low-end frequencies, creating a muscular tone that will fill any venue with warm, fat overdrive.
Hear (and see) the pedal below—A/B’d with the TrueOverDrive 1—as Guitar World's Paul Riario demonstrates the pedal’s dynamic overdriven tones with humbucking- and single coil-equipped guitars.
