Small Speaker Overdrive
The Small Speaker Overdrive (SSO) by Great Eastern FX Co. is a low-gain
overdrive pedal inspired by classic small-amp-in-the-studio tones, from
artists like Steve Cropper to Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, and Joe Walsh. The
pedal's discrete transistor circuit offers outstanding dynamics, providing
full control of breakup from the guitar's volume knob or just your fingers.

The SSO can be used as a boost, preamp, and tone-shaper when the gain is set
low, with the ability to open up the sound of the guitar. When driven hard, it
mimics the punchy tone and mid-range 'honk' of a simple Class-A amp circuit
driving a small speaker.
The pedal captures the desirable characteristics associated with small-
speaker, vintage valve combos when miked up in the studio, including punchy
upper mid focus, earthy breakup, and super sensitive, expressive playing
dynamics.
Overall, the Small Speaker Overdrive offers a unique and versatile overdrive
experience, capturing the essence of classic small-amp tones in a compact and
well-built pedal.
