The Sacred Utterance Overdrive is a pedal that offers a wide range of tones, from light drive to saturated crunch. It is designed to clean up well with the guitar volume and produces amp-like break-up thanks to the BS170 MosFETs and J201 FETs used in its circuit.The addition of the Baxandall tone circuit allows for further tweaking and customization of the dirt box’s sound. However, it is important to note that setting the biasing of the pedal requires a multimeter, which is a necessary tool for working with electronics.The circuit board of the pedal can accommodate both through-hole and SMT versions of the J201, giving users the option to choose based on their comfort level with handling small components. Opting for the SMT version can also save a few pounds in cost.
