OD-16

The HAO OD-16 Omega Drive Sixteen is a boutique overdrive pedal handmade in Japan. It features a voltage-doubling circuit that converts an incoming 9-volt DC power supply to 16-volts DC, significantly improving headroom and dynamic responsiveness. The pedal's tonal character is described as more aggressive than the standard "Tube Screamer" overdrive, with tight and punchy lows, lower mids, and rich, sparkling harmonic overtones. The OD-16 is known for its fast reaction to picking dynamics, offering touch-responsive overdrive that complements advanced playing techniques.
