XOTIC Effects Soul Driven - Overdrive / Boost

The XOTIC Effects Soul Driven Overdrive/Boost captures the feel, touch response, and tonal richness of a finely tuned tube amplifier in a compact, road‑ready pedal. Designed to add clarity, dynamics, and musical midrange presence, it works equally well as a subtle clean boost or a rich, singing overdrive for electric guitar.

Key Features

• • Gain – sets the amount of drive
  • Volume – controls overall output level
  • Tone – shapes treble response from tight lows to cutting highs
  • Mid Boost – adds pronounced midrange grit and presence
• True bypass switching preserves your natural signal when the pedal is off
• Internal Bass Boost DIP switch gives up to +6 dB at 125 Hz for thicker low end when needed
• Blue LED status indicator for clear on/off confirmation
• Dual power options: 9 V battery or 9 V DC adapter (adapter not included; also compatible with 18 V for extra headroom)
