Il Torino Overdrive

The MXR Il Torino Overdrive, designed by guest Custom Shop engineer Carlo Sorasio, is a versatile overdrive pedal that utilizes MOSFET technology to recreate the gain structure of classic tube preamps. This design allows the pedal to produce sweet, touch-responsive saturation and natural-sounding compression.

Key features and technical specifications include:
- MOSFET technology for tube-like overdrive characteristics
- 3-band EQ section for precise sound shaping
- BOOST/OD switch to toggle between Boost Mode for a cleaner sound with compression and sustain, and OD Mode for a more aggressive, cranked tube amp sound
- Class A Low Impedance Output Driver for buffered bypass, maintaining warm and natural tone across long signal chains

The Il Torino Overdrive is designed to cater to knob tweakers and tone freaks, offering a highly tweakable overdrive pedal that can adapt its sound to various signal chains. The pedal's responsive drive tones and versatile EQ make it suitable for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques.
