We took our most legendary overdrive to a new level and redefined what it means to be transparent. Clearer pick attack, improved low end, and more versatile gain stacking. 


I watched Ju­lian Lage dial in his tone at a sound­check in Chica­go. Vin­ta­ge Fen­der amp. Collings semi-hol­low gui­tar. He ad­just­ed pickup heights, moved po­si­tions on stage, chas­ing the per­fect bal­ance. It was cap­ti­vat­ing. 


Ju­lian has used a Morn­ing Glo­ry for years — he's a big rea­son it end­ed up on jazz ped­al­boards world­wide. Af­ter the sound­check, we dis­cussed what he looked for in an over­drive. One thing led to an­oth­er. My brain start­ed wan­der­ing off into dif­fer­ent ideas. Could we make the Morning Glory even better? 


When you add over­drive — any type of clip­ping — you lose nu­ance. Pick at­tack gets com­pressed. Dy­na­mics nar­row. All overdrives shape frequency response, even the most transparent.

So we tried some­thing no one's done: we took our Morn­ing Glo­ry (a Blues­breaker-style topol­o­gy) and com­plete­ly re­built it around a stu­dio-grade par­al­lel clean blend. Not just a mod­i­fi­ca­tion, a re­design from the ground up.


End­less head­room. Those mas­sive clean gui­tar sounds that you love on record­ings — most were made at vol­umes that would get you evict­ed. The Morn­ing Glo­ry Clean gives you the stiff­ness and au­thor­i­ty of a high-wattage amp at the edge of breakup — with­out the earplugs. 

Think of the Clean con­trol as adding back in wattage, clar­i­ty, and punch.

It goes on every­thing. 

Stack a dis­tor­tion in front and the sus­tain opens up in­stead of clos­ing off. Run it af­ter de­lay for new territories of series/parallel textures. First-stage over­drive? This is the best we've ever built. Pe­riod.

It breathes in front of amp mod­el­ers too. The over­drive and pres­ence of the classic Morn­ing Glo­ry, with your at­tack and low-end con­tent di­aled back in — magic in front of a Kem­per, Quad Cor­tex, UAD, or He­lix. 


Vol­ume — Adjusts the overall volume in conjunction with the drive and clean.   

Clean — Full left: orig­i­nal Morn­ing Glo­ry. Full right: pure clean sig­nal. Start with Clean and Drive maxed, dial Clean back (counter-clockwise) un­til you find your perfect bal­ance. 

  • Drive — Sat­u­ra­tion. Crank it and use the Clean con­trol as your bal­ance. This ped­al is de­signed to be used this way. 
  • Tone — Clas­sic Morn­ing Glo­ry tone stack. Af­fects only the drive path. Back for warmth, for­ward for clar­i­ty. 
  • Clean Boost Pro Tip – Morning Glory Clean can be used as a stand-alone clean boost.  Set the Clean to 100% (fully clockwise) and increase the Drive.  In this configuration, the Drive will not produce any overdrive clipping - only clean volume boosting.
