Controllable Color for Your Guitar Tone

Take control of your dirty boost tone with the Electro-Harmonix Crayon overdrive pedal. This modern take on a classic dirty boost puts independent control over bass and treble bands in your hands, allowing you to contour your overdrive tone. Need a cutting midrange boost? Sure the Crayon can provide that, but it's also great for beefing up your bottom end or adding air to your highs. What's more, the Crayon can be all the distortion you need, but when the guitarists here at Sweetwater checked it out, we were even more impressed by how it sounds when you couple this dirty boost with an already distorted tube amp.

Electro-Harmonix Crayon Dirty Boost/Overdrive Pedal Features:
  • A versatile overdrive with powerful tone-shaping potential
  • Independent Bass and Treble let you define your sound
  • Crank up the gain for rich distortion and overdrive
  • Use less gain as a dirty boost with tube amplifiers for killer lead tone
  • True bypass ensures signal path integrity
Color your tone with an Electro-Harmonix Crayon pedal!

Reviews

Rated 4/5
Great!
Awesome overdrive.I use it in front of my tube amp to help push the gain and color up the tone. My only complaint is that despite trying a variety of setups and cables this pedal did add a lot of feedback to my signal even at low gain. Awesome job by Sweetwater with keeping me in the loop with the shipping process.

Worth It At Twice The Price With Sweetwater's Excellent Service
I don't normally comment on pedals but this one was incredible bang for the buck. I have used it with three different amps and put it on my main pedal board as a replacement to another, more expensive pedal. I use a Wampler Belle is on my mini-board but find the Crayon a tad easier to adjust on the fly. Love the no-frills treble and bass controls, especially since one of my amps is overly dark.

The main reason I am writing this review is to praise Sweetwater on how fast the shipping process was. I ordered a few items locally a month ago but the Crayon from Sweetwater was purchased, shipped and received in a shorter time span than the other items was purchased and shipped locally. Plus, Sweetwater shipped for free!

Guess there is only one place to go and that is Sweetwater.

Beautifully expressive and versatile OD pedal
Full disclosure, I use OD pedals to push my tube amp's preamp and add a different flavor of dirt to my tone. I don't use them as an amp-in-a-box to give me higher gain tones over a clean amp. For my application this pedal really shines. It cleans up without sounding thin when you roll off the guitar volume then pushes the preamp and adds its own dirt as you add guitar volume. It adds a nice mid boost if you back off the treble and bass controls too.

The Crayon
Great pedal! Love the way it goes from a sparkling clean to a medium gain pedal. The independent bass and treble controls are very effective. Very transparent too!
