Developed in collaboration with 6-time Grammy nominated songwriter, producer, and guitar player John Shanks, the ODS-1 delivers a wide range of overdrive tones perfect for any genre. This pedal’s transparent overdrive lets you easily achieve anything from pushed clean tones to full on crunch. Add extra bite and warmth to your clean sounds or put this pedal in front of an already driven amp to boost it into wild distortion. Whether you're in the studio or on the stage, you’ll always be able to find the perfect amount of saturation.
Intuitive design. The three main dials on the front of the pedal allow for precise control over all the main aspects of your sound. The gain knob allows you to choose how much overdrive you want in your sound - going from a gentle rumble to a full-on saturated growl. Adjust the guitar's volume with the level control and achieve the perfect frequency balance with the tone knob. If that isn't enough control, you also have two trim pots on the back of the pedal which can be adjusted with a mini screwdriver. These let you fine tune the overall bass and saturation of the pedal, so it perfectly suits your guitar and amp.
A truly excellent pedal should add to the sound, not destroy it. Vemuram aim to do just this. They create professional grade pedals that organically add to the sound of your guitar and amp. 100% hand-built in Japan, every circuit board is customised, and each part is placed by hand in order to achieve the best sound possible from each and every pedal. A solid brass housing provides excellent shielding from unwanted interference and is also ultra-strong and reliable. Tested by real musicians on stage and in the studio, Vemuram make pedals you can rely on.
