The Westwood Translucent Overdrive Pedal is inspired by the Earthquaker Devices Westwood and excels at pulling the most harmonically rich drive from any amplifier. It was designed by Jamie Stillman, founder of EarthQuaker Devices, as an experiment to restore the signal definition and harmonic content lost to amplitude and phase distortion in guitar amps. The pedal features an active bass and treble control and up to 20db level boost. It also includes a diode selector toggle to choose between two different sets of diodes. With flat bass and treble settings, the pedal has an incredibly natural and amp-like sound with pleasant tube-like quality. Boosting the treble level adds presence and midrange, while raising the bass level to more extreme ranges creates a noticeable drone. The diode selector toggle can be bypassed by placing a jumper in between the two circular pads of the toggle and leaving D7-D10 unpopulated. The Westwood Translucent Overdrive Pedal has four controls: Gain, Level, Bass, and Treble. The Gain control adjusts the amount of overdrive, the Level control adjusts the output volume, the Bass control adjusts the low-end frequencies, and the Treble control adjusts the high-end frequencies. The Diode Switch control allows the user to choose between two different sets of diodes.
