The MKII adds an A\/B switch to toggle between two sets of volume and gain knobs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethat can be used like a preset to change volume and\/or gain for specific parts, as well as a 385+ switch that slams the front end of the circuit for added high-gain saturation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor years, guitarists seeking pure tone have been taking the tube-powered audio sections of vintage film projectors and using them as guitar amps. We fell in love with the unique sound, and were inspired to capture it in a pedalboard-friendly box when we created the original 385 Overdrive pedal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 385 was developed to have the same simple but effective tone control as its grandfather. While the amp stacks bass and treble behind a single knob, our design separates them, allowing for a much wider array of tones to be achieved. The user is able to boost and cut bass and treble, allowing them to be creative with mid-frequency scoops and bumps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen we released the 385 Overdrive in 2016, it was quickly adopted by guitar players for the amp-like dynamics you could get at lower gain settings. Soon though, players found that cranking the gain produced a distortion-esque drive that was unique to the 385. To accommodate both setups in a single pedal, we added an A\/B switch along with a second set of Volume and Gain knobs that share a single set of tone controls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe pedal is internally running at 18v, which helps us nail the same dynamic feel of the amp in a stomp box. This means it is extremely sensitive to how hard you dig in – just like the amp. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walrus Audio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45317047517419,"sku":"900-1002mk2BB","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":46477464633579,"sku":"900-1002mk2YB","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/8480\/files\/Front_41f74692-3d55-46f3-ad39-1f7dea946547.jpg?v=1752241330","url":"https:\/\/www.walrusaudio.sbs\/products\/385-overdrive-mkii-blemished","provider":"Walrus Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
