Jackson Audio proudly collaborates with Cory Wong, one of today’s leading guitarists, to bring you The Optimist. An updated version of the legendary Klon circuit, arguably the most celebrated and sought-after drive pedals of all time, merging it with an independent Timmy-style circuit. The Optimist also adds Jackson Audio MIDI control and a killer 3-band EQ section, making the pedal a unique product for creating some of today’s finest and most inspiring sounds.
OD1 is based on the legendary most expensive and hard-to-find overdrive ever created. Despite all the hype, this magical pedal is still one of the most natural overdrives ever made. Jackson Audio has reproduced this circuit in great detail to provide the sound you are looking for in this legendary pedal. In addition, he has updated it with an active equalizer (bypass-able) to take this classic circuit into uncharted territory.
Just like the original circuit, OD1 features almost impossible-to-find germanium diodes to deliver the best possible sound. In sharp contrast to the midrange-focused sound of OD1, OD2 is designed to be perfectly flat across the entire range of the guitar. Perfect for rhythm work, OD2 is a perfect harmonic enhancer for OD1 when you want to push it further.
Based on the legendary Baxandall EQ found in countless studio equalizers, the EQ in The Optimist takes this circuit and adapts it for guitarists. Jackson Audio invested a lot of time on this equalizer by setting it up to reach all the frequencies guitarists need to adjust, and then sweetened it by removing the highs and lows that fatigue the ears.
The Optimist offers MIDI control over all functions. OD1, OD2 and EQ can be controlled via MIDI for an unlimited choice of sounds.
