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.
Here are the technical specifications for the Small Speaker Overdrive:

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.
