Listed 8 days ago
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pedal. sounds fantastic and lets my guitar tone shine through. With the deep features offered by MIDI control this ped could be a One stop multi voiced overdrive. Phat and articulate it will be an extension of your amps voice. hands down one of my favorite OD's I've ever played.
Thanks for Buying!

The Golden Boy Transparent Overdrive (designed in collaboration with Joey Landreth) is the most versatile and transparent overdrive ever made.
Rich in harmonic detail and overflowing with headroom, the Golden Boy redefines the concept of transparent overdrive and brings it up to date with modern features never before seen in an overdrive pedal.

Golden Boy- Joey Landreth Signature Overdrive
Key features
4 overdrive voices —
1. Green — Classic Screamer-style (2x silicon, symmetrical)
Tight, mid-forward, super familiar. This is the “plug into any backline and it works” voice—great for stacking in front of an already breaking-up amp. Symmetrical silicon clipping gives you a smooth, controlled breakup that still stays transparent.
2. Magenta — Chewy Asymmetrical (3x silicon)
More touch, more harmonic texture. Asymmetrical clipping reacts more like an amp being pushed unevenly, so pick attack pops and chords stay 3D. This is the Joey “feel” setting.
3. Blue — Tight & Focused (4-diode symmetrical)
Higher headroom + a more immediate, forward response. This is the one to reach for when you need the Golden Boy to act like a second channel and cut in a mix without getting spiky.
4. Amber — Open / amp voice
The most “amp-like” of the four. Wider, less compressed, and perfect if you want the pedal to sound like it’s part of the amp instead of a box in front of it. Great for edge-of-breakup and slide.
Gain Cycle — tap both footswitches to step through 4 gain levels (25/50/75/100%) for rhythm → lead jumps without touching a knob.
3-band active EQ — bass, mids, and treble with real boost/cut so the pedal matches single-coils, humbuckers, and any amp.
Independent MOSFET boost — Prism-style boost in its own loop; use it with or without the drive. 4 boost EQ presets to fit whatever you’re hitting.
MIDI control — call up clipping, gain cycle, boost presets, and bypass from a controller. Perfect for modern boards.
Top-mount jacks, small footprint — easy pedalboard fit.
Why it matters
Golden Boy keeps your guitar and amp’s character intact, then adds exactly as much drive, EQ, and boost as the song needs—whether you’re after Joey’s slide tones or stacked, higher-gain parts.
