Build Your Own Overdrive Pedal
The Korg OD-S Overdrive Kit enables you to build your own custom guitar effect pedal — no soldering required! Once it’s assembled, this stompbox delivers a rich, warm sound that’s chock-full of articulate grind and ear-grabbing harmonics, thanks to a Nutube analog triode vacuum tube. The OD-S boasts plenty of sound-shaping controls, including under-the-hood customizations for fine-tuning the pedal’s signature tone. If you’re tired of off-the-shelf overdrive pedals but have always shied away from complex DIY projects, the OD-S Overdrive kit was tailor-made for you. It’s your shortcut to a fully customized stompbox.

Nutube technology exhibits authentic tube sound
The reason that the OD-S Overdrive exhibits such a natural, tube-like tone is because it has a Nutube — an actual analog triode vacuum tube — inside. Just like a conventional vacuum tube, the OD-S’s Nutube includes an anode, grid and filament, and operates as a complete triode tube. It generates the same performance response and rich harmonic characteristics of a conventional vacuum tube. That said, it delivers the goods in a more compact, stable, and energy-efficient manner. At Sweetwater, we’ve been impressed by Nutube since day one — it’s a revolutionary take on a tried-and-true technology.
Internal settings give rise to customized tones
If you own a Korg OD-S Overdrive kit, building your own custom-made overdrive pedal is a breeze. Depending on how deep you want to dive, the process can be as simple (or difficult) as you want it to be. This solderless, easy-to-build kit comes disassembled, with the casing, knobs, circuit board, screws, and other parts clearly labeled, along with easy-to-follow assembly instructions. You’ll be able to fine-tune the stompbox with an internal trimmer potentiometer and Wide switch in order to craft your desired sound, and if you’re an advanced DIYer, the OD-S’s modification-friendly layout enables you to swap out discrete components for even more customization.
