Every overdrive needs a friend, and the Gran Torino Boost Overdrive pedal by MXR is the social butterfly of dirt devices. The major advantage of the Gran Torino is how it combines OD, Boost, and 3-band EQ to fuel long-term value that adapts to your current rig ? and future rigs! A mid-scooped boost might sound incongruous today, but you might need precisely that tomorrow or in six months. The Gran Torino Boost Overdrive pedal uses MOSFET circuitry and mirrors classic guitar tube preamp sections with organic presence and touch-sensitive saturation. Such vast possibilities make Gran Torino a splendid always-on foundation for early chain placement, while separate Boost/Overdrive modes with 3-band EQ make it an excellent solo or end-of-chain make-up boost that revives tone after a dearth of modulation effects. Additionally, the Gran Torino’s Class A low-impedance output driver helps preserve signal warmth, especially over long runs of instrument cable. For Sweetwater guitarists with a finger on the pulse, the Gran Torino’s value is exceeded only by the satisfying presence it delivers!
