Caroline Guitar Company Aaron Graves Overdrive Effect Pedal

For something fresh yet familiar, we've got the Caroline Guitar Company Aaron Graves Overdrive. This lovingly made drive circuit pays tribute to Aaron Graves, dearly departed friend and musician of Caroline Guitar Co. and Columbia, South Carolina at large. A smaller, simpler footprint with plenty of useful tones under the hood for melding with every and any amp and guitar combo, the Aaron Graves Overdrive is something longtime and newcomer fans alike are sure to embrace with open arms.

The Aaron Graves Overdrive throws it over to many fan-favorite Caroline Guitar Company tones of Caroline generations past. Covering some basic grounds for Caroline fans as, foundationally, the preamp of the Parabola and Météore, this warm, lush preamp base slips smoothly into any rig to establish itself as a reliable overdrive/preamp effect. From there, the Aaron Graves pushes ahead with some more Caroline history under the hood.

Caroline's "Mode B" comp-cut circuit – originally from their Haymaker and Icarus V1 models – makes another appearance with the Aaron Graves for a power amp clipping-style breakup. This circuit now features a second gain stage for greater balance and control alongside a bass voicing switch for those with a pension for swapping pickups. A portion of all sales of the Aaron Graves Overdrive will go to Fork & Spoon Records, Graves's own organization, helping new South Carolina artists achieve more in their music.

A labor of love from South Carolina's finest in amplified artistry, the Aaron Graves Overdrive arrives right on time.
